If things were o.k., most of the whites, in a “Bradley effect”, who are undecided, will vote for anyone, McCain, who is not Black

But when the house is burning, American people,who feel “white”, will vote for Obama, because he is
“Black”, because of the unconscious “white” child mentality seeking protection of the “Black” parent–when they don’t know how to save themselves, and therefore who need a psychological savior, a “Black Madonna”.
In Poland, there is a Catholic community where this psychology is manifested in worship of a “Black Madonna”, to the disgust of the Pope, Benedict 16, who, you know, is German, who is seeking to suppress the cult-which John Paul, Polish, never tried to do. ( Benedict stopped the Cult which tried to emerge with some French Catholics).
Erich Fromm discusses the function of the psychological Maternal Parent in the Catholic Church.
The “Black Madonna” effect does not come in play, when the unconscious white mentality feels that they can save themselves, militarily. That is when the “white father”.. the unconscious warrior GOD, takes effect and takes place to satisfy a psychological need for aggression. Vietnam and Iraq met this need. ( In the Civil Rights Movement-one stanza was “God is on our Side-We shall overcome , etc. With Bush and the Evangelists-I am on God’s side” ), That is why Obama does not do well in comparison of image and identity as compared with McCain when America feel they can save themselves militarily–as with Terrorists, invented and real.
But this Economic crisis is something else -where America will be running to their Black Momma, Obama.
President Bush reminds me of a little boy who is play-acting in being the “big boy” or “the MAN”–in competition with his own father–but who is very insecure. He needed a “Black” parent for support-first, Colin Powell, and then Conde Rice,
We must remember that race, “white” and “Black”, has no biological reality, but functions as a human
psychological invention to meet psychological needs and anxieties .
