Are Republicans "reaching out" to the AA community? There are always a few African Americans whom endorse/vote for Republicans just like there are some young Republicans and women and Hispanics whom support the Republican Party for some mysterious reason (usually because they're part of the "have mine" group of people in this country). In no way, does this group of people constitute a newfound groundswell support of GOP "policies" IMHO.
