Black Agenda Report has a piece on Obama's growing support among white men. Is this statement another signal from Obama to that conservative group? I am gay and white and male, and whenever a lot of straight white males get behind something or someone, I have to start questioning the motivations. I think Obama will get the nomination..he will probably win Texas and Ohio and the superdelegates will fall in line with the voters as they should. Of course he's no more hawkish than Clinton..and maybe a bit less so. I hope that is the case. But why not vote for Cynthia Mckinney for president from the Greens. She gives us everything the candidates, media and their supporters tout...experience, change, Black, woman, and TRUE progressive. Then I could truly get excited and inspired!
