That's absolutely ridiculous. The animus toward black republicans starts in the black community, not in the liberal community. Very very few black people identify as republican, it's practically taken for granted that the republican party does a terrible job of making blacks feel like we are part of their constituency. Furthermore most republican leaders are from districts with either few blacks altogether or few affluent blacks.

Liberals are not destroying the credibility of black republicans, the black community has a profoundly negative view of black republicans.
