So Keyes' goal is to divide the black community in Chicago?

In a sense, yes. One U.S. Senator is not going to get reparations on the national table but it will plant the seed that the race is actually a referendum on reparations with the pro-reparation vote going to Keyes and the pro-welfare vote going to Obama. He's not trying to appeal to the black welfare class. He's actually appealing to the black middle class that thinks they can have it both ways - enjoying the fruits of their success while enjoying the tax break of their heritage.

It's really clever I think. Instead of talking about Keyes the Carpetbagger, the focus is now on Keyes the Reparations Advocate.

THAT'S a campaign strategy?
