You should have just stopped there.

Black people as an aggregate were improving in station and economic class since Reconstruction at a steady rate until the 60s, and then went into steep decline. That decline coincides exactly with the Great Society experiment and the massive expansion of the welfare state. Facts are facts. You tell ME what changed in black people in the 60s, because I don't think white people suddenly became less tolerant in 1965 than they were in 1915 when Birth of Nation was the most popular film.

Unfortunately, movements like that can't be engineered. No one knew Santelli's "taxed enough already" rant was going to take off like it did. The best you can do is lay the foundations so that when the trigger event happens, things can be brought up to speed quickly. If you try to engineer it from the top, then you get... a top down organization.
These are the hardest parts, though. First, black people have to have the will to do for themselves. The state is doing everything it can to stamp out individual will in black people. They've done a better job than 400 years of chattel slavery did, frankly. I don't know if that is going to come back in our lifetimes. Second, you have to realize that the TEA party is NOT your adversary in this. If a movement like this happens, they are your natural allies -- much more than any other national movement. If black people can't get over this myth that the TEA party is all about hating black folks, then you're throwing away a bootstrapping opportunity that will likely doom any new movement (the same way the TEA party would have been stunted had it not leveraged an alliance of convenience with the GOP.)

The reality is that with a white guy and a black guy on the ticket, the white vote will split nearly down the middle, along ideological lines, and the black vote will virtually all go to the black guy.
That's racism from the black side, not the white side. Straight up.

And I stopped making it when I realized it was wrong. Black people live in a culture that encourages racist thinking. As a result, black people vote in a racist block.
You can't reason someone out of a behavior that they weren't reasoned into.

If Obama or Romney are talking in front of black people, the black people are props for their message to voters that are actually going to think before they vote.

If I trusted our election results already, I might support this. Given that they are ALREADY rife with fraud, I can't get behind making it easier on the fraudsters.
