 | Several scenarios that will enable Barack Obama to become President of the United States.
Category: News and Politics 1. The Jesse Ventura Effect:
When Jesse "The Body" Ventura, former pro wrestler, was voted Governor of Minnesota, America witnessed the phenomenon of what happens when pop culture capital turns into political culture capital, due to the (primarily) white men who voted him in. When white men see something cool, they pay attention, and there's a lot of them out there.
2. White America's Love of Black Music:
Since the birth of American music, black men have found the ways to make it look, sound and feel the coolest. If 80% of rap is bought by white people and 80% of them are white men, there is an amazing power to be had in being that black man who was cool enough to be voted in as the first Black President.
3. The Oedipus Rex Complex:
Every new generation of white males has a broadening history of doing exactly what their fathers tell them not to do. For some white fathers, hearing that their son voted for a black president could be enough to kill them, and that's a motive.
4. Barack Obama as our President:
He's inspiring and has a powerful way of grabbing your attention. He's good looking and funny. When viewing all of the candidates photos on the same page, he stands out as the holder of the most culture capital out of everyone. He has that feel of what you know deep down you should vote for, if it weren't for X,Y and Z, blah, blah, blah, blah...
If the younger white generations of men decide to vote this year, Barack Obama will be President.
