I believe Burning Star is on the right track. I personally believe this song is about the absurdity of pacifistic strategies of protest(i.e. picketing, marching, petitioning, etc.) against something as violent and destructive as war. The chorus I believe is sung with a bit of a sarcastic tone. The title, "White People for Peace", I believe alludes to how being non-violent is a politically convenient position for a liberal white person because is preserves their position of privilege and comfort in society and equally be ineffective and if they were to be a violent activist for example they would be more effective in ending a war, but have to give up that privilege.
