When I hear "the man" I picture rich, white guys who have lot of power (economic, political, legal). These guys use this power at the expense of the lower classes in order to gain more money and more power. Never ending cycle, but I think it used to be a lot worse than it is now.

"The Man" is anybody in control, who can call the shots. Usually, it means some white dude with a cigar, who is keeping people down for his own gain.

Big Brother - not the TV show, but the "big Brother" who is always watching. For example, the Bush administration.
