I question your fundamental grasp of the political and practical realities of race in politics. What Mr. Bundy says in that video (and your interpretation of it) doesn't change anything WRT the basic realities. In fact - the only people who see it the way you've described it are the professional race baiters, their sycophants, and the perpetually aggrieved "victims" with a permanent chip on their shoulder.
Please explain to me the ROI Republicans can expect from pandering to black voters, the majority of whom could care less about Republican (wish I could say conservative) values. Romney was right - 47% of the electorate WILL NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN - and blacks are a significant portion of that percentage. Blacks represent approximately 14% of the US population. 93% of the ones who voted in 2012 did so for Obama (even higher in 2008). The overwhelming majority are Democrats (22% of Democrats vs. 02% of Republicans). Those percentages have been relatively stable for an extended period. (

The Condoleezza Rices, Herman Caines, Ben Carsons, et al are an aberration, apparently despised by the black community and viciously denigrated by the "progressive establishment" as "race traitors". They will vote Republican anyway. Sadly there aren't enough of them to make any difference and they have no where else to go. Bottom line - Republicans can safely ignore blacks.
The demographic that Republicans should be recruiting are the Hispanics. They outnumber the blacks, they are evenly divided among conservatives, liberals and independents hence the potential to be swayed by reasoned appeals, and their culture has conservative roots that core Republican values already appeal to. And they're not still whining about slavery, an institution ended by force of arms and a lot of blood almost 150 years ago. If Republicans are going to engage in a "bidding war" with Democrats for voter blocks, they need to concentrate their efforts where they have the best chance of bearing fruit. Why give a shit about the political significance of what Mr. Bundy says? And why continue attempting to modify essentially irrelevant behavior to appease a demographic that refuses to progress beyond 1965 and won't make a difference when the votes are cast?
