The problem with that strategy is that more than anything it highlights that the (White, male) power structure of the GOP fundamentally views Blacks as "others" or "not like us."
The GOP strategy to gain Black members is to insult them.

Hows that working out for you guys so far????

Not too well, with their money coming from obama's administration, never paying any income tax and the addition of EBT's obama pretty well has their vote locked up....

So you think most Black voters collect welfare? Not surprised you feel that way about Black people

I predict this move will be a blockbuster, just like the D'Souza movie. There is a huge market for Black tea partiers

Seriously?!

But trust me, if the tables were turned on them in an attempt to get them to undestand why this is so offensive (and is just plain stupid)...they wouldn't get it.

They don't "get it" that holding someone like Herman Cain out as an alternative to Barack Obama is quite frankly insulting. They are just plain ole clueless. And it shows just how shortsighted the GOP actually happens to be in the same way that they believed that putting a "skirt" (aka Sarah Palin) on the Presidential ticket was all that it would take to get the women's vote in 2008.

The GOP's frat boy mentality has gotten old and they do themselves no favors because the frat boys and their sorostitue wives are no longer running the show in America. A new day has dawned and they don't even see it.

And as long as this ^^^ is the prevailing attitude of the MAJORITY of the Republican party, the GOP will continue to cater to the bigotry....and they we continue to fail to get the Black vote, the Hispanic vote and the Asian vote. Even Asians vote predominantly Democrat.

The GOP just doesn't "get it"

Take a look at how they view and use Asian Americans. The Republican candidate saw nothing wrong with directing an Asian American woman to use "choppy" English to bash an opponent...

What's next conservatives will make threads about Black attacking Whites?? No way, not till I see it will I believe it.
You didn't watch it did you. Nothing about conservative or lib, Dem or Repub. It's about everyone in Washington and government. But that's ok don't look or you might see.

It's a movie made by teabaggers, sounds pretty conservative to me.

Well at least socially conservatives, tea partiers are about as economically conservative as Noam Chomsky

If they had some serious black candidates it would be different, Herman Cain is not a serious candidate condi rice would fit that description honestly.
Walter Williams has a plan.
