Here is a little theory/rant of mine, and why I hope Obama wins the nomination and the presidency. I wonder how many other white men feel like I do.

We need to break up the white power structure in this country...the White Crust. The White Crust is that group of monied interests and families which have been stocking our courts, judgeships, state and national offices, and Corporate Entitites and Boards of Directors since the inception of the USA. (see http://www.theyrule.net)
They have been mis-shaping and turning to evil all that this nation has accomplished. We fought a Civil War to end slavery, but the White Crust made it so that nothing much really changed. Women won the vote, but the old men made sure nothing much came of that. We have had World Wars fought by the Avg Joe, while the White Crust made billions. Their Military Industrial Complex laid waste many countries and countless lives and spent our own young men, usually the young men who are not from the White Crust.
We have had the Civil Rights Movement, ERA, Roe V Wade, Unions....all of them were minimized or almost erased by the actions of the White Crust. No matter how much WE suffer in the lower tiers, no matter how much we sacrifice, no matter how much we MOVE OVER and make room for latinos, blacks, women, fairness, sexual security...the White Crust always reverses our decisions and they keep the business of Business As Usual humming along like nothing ever happened.

I see three ways to throw my vote....McCain, a guarantee for business as usual. HRC is a 75% chance for business as usual. BHObama, however, by his very nature is a vote AGAINST business as usual. For once, someone may make a hole in the White Crust and force a breakup (like rotting ice on a warming lake) that finally causes the White Crust's impenetrable force field to disintegrate.

As a white man, I am sick of seeing the convulsions of our country go for naught. We fought these wars, we fought these battles, we white men have made room and forfeited our favored white status....just to see the White Crust Business As Usual prevail. We all watch lawsuits go in the favor of corp/whitey. We all watch the rich flaunt the very laws we bled to enact. We all see more blacks going to prison for the same crime as a white person. We see women's pay never quite equal to the man's....we see them breaking the laws, raiding the treasury, writing the lobbyist's laws.....all our best intentions get blown away once the White Crust goes into their closed chambers to decide, yet again, that nothing is going to change.

I vote for BHO so that our country can finally get on track to achieving what we are capable of. To be the Nation we all knew we could be. I am tired of seeing my hopes disappear, our hard work disappear. Do you really believe McCain or HRC are going to upset the apple cart, take us in a new direction? Perhaps BHO cannot achieve all this, but like the ice breaking up, it has to start somewhere, no matter how small.
