The White Male's Burden in 2008

Obama and Clinton supporters are sending a clear message in their speeches, observes Victor Davis Hanson: “The perennial culpable white male has finally met his nemesis. He can pay penance for past sins by voting for either a woman or someone of mixed racial heritage. We can unite the nation only by endorsing candidates whose first identification is apparently to their race or gender-something that would be considered abominable for the white male.”
