"That's what we need, a headline grabber. Private SS accounts, School Choice, Conservative Social Values, Elimination of means tested Social Spending - that is a Contract worth fighting for."

I agree with the items in the proposed contract, but they are good fer all Americans, not just Black Americans, imho. I'm sorta torn on this issue...yes, we want to attract more Black Americans to conservatism, but do we do it by treating them as a unique sub-population?!

You make a good point, and you're right the basic principles of it are anti-thetical to conservatism, but the problem is we need something powerful to jolt African Americans out of their liberal mindset. I think this idea is worth looking into, just to hammer in the point that Conservatism helps blacks the most.
