No way in hell will the White racist American voter, in the solitude and privacy of the voting booth where no one is snooping over his shoulder to see if he being politically correct, make a decision to vote for an intelligent African-American man whose father was born in Kenya and White mother in Kansas.
Obama represents a kind of twisted guilt trip for White Amerikans who do not want to admit their inner racism and think it is grand idea that a Black man can do well in his bid for the Presidency and may support him in his quest but only up to a critical point. The critical point where the racist mind will think twice about the Obama Candidacy is when he gets the mental image of having a Black man as Commander-In-Chief inside the Oval Office White House with a gun! White racist Amerika alone will never vote for a Black man for President.
Neither will the typical Amerikan voter vote for any woman for President because we still live in a male-dominated chauvinist society. Besides, Hilary has too much baggage, along with the trash connected with her husband, 'Billy-the-Kid' Clinton. To many people she is seen as a part of the usual corporate-supported business as usual in Washington D.C. Irregardless, most testosterone driven males have still not fully accepted the concept of equal rights for women in all realms and certainly will not have a White woman as their national leader.
In the deepest depth of their psyche, White Amerikans prefer a White man for President if they are to feel safe at home with their families and sleep well at night. The idea of a bold brainy woman or an intelligent Black man being President in the Oval Office just does not sit right in their minds nor does it jell well in their souls.
Many non-White people simply do not now vote in significant numbers enough to dramatically shift the outcomes of campaigns for the U.S. Presidency. Potential is not necessarily manifest and many eligible voters do not vote despite their woes and worries. The most consistent non-White voters who are U.S. citizens are Asian-Americans. Sadly, many Chicano-Latinos and African-Americans, who united together could sway Presidential Elections, simply do not stay awake and go out and vote on voting day for the Presidential candidate who would best represent and fight for their bosom survival interests under corporate Amerika.
Amerika is not color blind when it comes to race despite liberal pretensions to the contrary. The fact of one's outward racial makeup is still a key factor in choosing who will be the next President, along with the candidate's gender in terms of being a man of a woman. Keep in mind that the whole concept of separate races is a social invention since human beings together make up the race of humankind as a species of life upon Mother Earth and we still live in a macho patriarchal society. Thus, in connected reality today, one's race-identity matters and one's sex gender matters when people vote for President of the of Amerika!
The number one division among American citizens in present-day society is still White racism among White people. It links together the racist Aryan-brotherhood member on Death Row spewing venom with the Evil One now in the White House plotting away during his last days for more photo-ops. In their heart of hearts, the vast majority of White Amerikans in the general population have racist roots and have been carefully taught to continue to be racist from one generation to the next. Some may not really believe they are genetically superior to non-Whites but they know that they are in an environmentally superior position when it comes to personal safety, social standing and economic success and in a White racist dominated society. White racists profit from the benefits of institutionalized racism.
Despite some progress over the decades, we are still living in a racist society that has extended its psycho-social disease beyond White racism against Blacks to include Mexican immigrants and Middle-Eastern peoples. Historically, from the early mass genocide of natives indigenous to these lands, to the horrors of lynching under Black Slavery, the theft of Aztlan from Mexico under the barrel of the gun legitimatized in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, to being suspicious of Muslims in a public setting as if they could be suicide bombers. Amerikans have been and are haters and their silent role as accomplices to the insanity of the Bush Regime engenders real hatred against Amerikans in the hearts of billions of people outside the United States!
White people are fast becoming the real racial minority inside the
In my humble estimation, the only viable humane candidate from the Democratic Party running for President is John Edwards, but if it comes down to Hilary or Obama as the Democratic Party candidate then Edwards will be out of the Presidential race. I seriously doubt that the typical Amerikan voter as profiled above will vote for either Obama or Hilary Clinton. If the Democratic Party is not wise, savvy and do the basic math they can very well lose their only chance for capturing the Presidency in 2008 after eight years and we will get a conservative and reactionary Republican President. Now many Democrats naively assume that they going to easily capture the White House. Remember the lessons of 2000! Shift happens!
I am not thrilled with any of the official candidates for President right now and am an independent voter. Being early in 2008 it looks like we are stuck with the same ol' LOTE (Lesser Of Two Evils) choice for casting our vote on voting day. Independent voters who tend to be Democratic-leaning can be a key factor as they were in 2000, but remember the result back then? Gore should have won the
The independent voter can influence the Presidential Elections to a quantitative degree but can that influence really be a determining factor in the actual outcome on Election Day ~ Tuesday, November 4, 2008?
Millions of eligible voters are still not registered to vote nor even know where their local polling place is located and the necessary community-based machinery for mass mobilization is not in operation inside the
During the reign of the rogue Bush Regime the United States has fallen as a failed state and is seen as the enemy of humankind in the eyes of the majority of the world's people who reside in the Third World: Latin America, Africa and Asia. Many of them must think that we are at least narrow-minded nationalists without any humane compassion for the plight of the wretched of the earth beyond its own artificial borders. At worst we are seen as a selfish sinful people or killers worthy of a Jihad against us.
Across the ocean the
The appeal of the Presidential candidates is to the hearts, souls and bank accounts of middle-class Amerikans and they routinely ignore the millions of poor oppressed people inside the United States who feel they have no stake in politics in general, including the 12 million-plus illegal immigrants here now who are just trying to stay under the radar of the INS and work hard to support their families as they pay taxes as consumers.
Here in the good ol' U.S.A. people are dying now from criminal neglect, from social apathy and from Amerikan arrogance. The many prisons that function as domestic concentration camps are always overcrowded with horrors hidden from the public eye, thousands of hungry homeless veterans wander the streets who still remember their military training and many children who should have promising futures die out because of no medical coverage.
We are in a new Millennium still living in cruel barbaric times. In connected reality, we have as much claim to any real humane civilization as a pack of wild hyenas.
