"There is no good or evil. Only those with power, and those without it."

Or as Voldemort said it: “There is no good and evil, there is only power…and those too weak to seek it.”

I mean it's an assertion that's rarely actually justified.

Everything we ever say is from our perspective. Good and evil are simplistic minds trying to paint the world with a black and white brush. Weak.

Moral relativism is a nihilistic tool people use to hide from their own character flaws and insufficiencies.

Sorry if i don't trust the motivations of people who say the equivalent of "might makes right" or something like "moral thinking is for the weak."

There's somethings that are just universally immoral, regardless of one perception.

All just different perspectives as I initially said. I can say something is weak and someone can say that's a strength. Tomato Tomatoe.

Whoever tells you this, shoot them in the foot.

See what they say then.

If we got rid of the first part of the sentence so it said, "there are only those with power and those without it", would say the same? (aside from it being black and white).

Power can still be good or evil, so no.
