I mean Black Power isn’t one thing. If you are talking Black Panthers or Nation of Islam or the Rainbow coalition.
Black Panthers would be squarely auth left. They were Marxist leninist. Nation of Islam would be auth right. Rainbow Coalition lib left. And hell i’ll throw flava flav in to finish it out for lib right.
By your logic, though, all forms of “Black Power” would be non-libleft. It is a shared identity based on a boundary. Working class solidarity would also be non-libleft by this logic.
what I’m actually saying is that black power is a phrase that many people have projected their own meanings onto and taken the phase in some very different directions.
I mean just compare Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow coalition, which was basically the Bernie Sanders campaign plus reparations but every one had more hair versus The Nation of Islam, which is about as quintessentially auth right as movements get. They DEFINITELY both fall under the umbrella of black power movements, but are basically diametrically opposed on the meme compass.
