George Lincoln Rockwell coined the term "White Power." What was his motive for advocating the term?

I'm sure all political movements and ideologies are started for a reason. What reason did George Lincoln Rockwell have for advocating White power?

Update:

Grand theft pants: I know he founded the American Nazi party, though, honestly, no, I have no clue why he advocates White power. Why advocate White power, whether Nazi or not?

Update 2:

Let me correct myself and say "advocated." I'm sure someone here would have ridiculed me for that mistake.

    When I was 16 I objected to the term- my son- which came from not my father but a complete stranger. My mate hates being called a Chav, I can't stand the term Middle aged, it sounds more like Middle ages ! Geriatric is another bone of contention ? What about Recycled teenager or Active Pensioner ? I think I prefer Senior Citizen, but there again that is only my own personal view. That is the trouble there are always those who want to pigeonhole and steriotype everyone, but everyone is an individual, at every age level and what seems to be either applicable to the age attained, the person might be either forward or backward to those years. A friend of mine is 41 but acts like a 80 year old, my mum when at 80 acted more like a teenager, so that leaves the question why catigorise in the first place? We are all part of the human race, as long as we don't come last who cares !!lol!!

    We must make it an imperative duty of our government to protect the gifts which Nature has bestowed on America and to insure the maintenance of a clean, healthy, wholesome environment for our people.

    He probably felt that immigration was getting too out of control and that the whites would no longer be the majority of America.

    Whatever prompted him to coin the phrase, however, he's still a racist a**hole.
