I believe your point was that republicans might have some opportunity to increase appeal to AA voters, and I'm not sure how this question relates to that point. But.....
if you consider all different peoples within a larger group (Americans) as seperate groups (AA., NativeA, Jewish, Swedish, etc.) then in a theoretically perfect world, it would only be an occasional coincidence when the "interests" of the larger group coincide with the interest of any of the smaller groups.
IRL, who determines the larger groups "interest" is a polical question and is decided based upon the political pull of the various groups, and typically would be more in at least some subgroups interest than others*.
*2 exceptions, in Independance Day it was in everyone's interest to blow up the alien spaceship, and no group was harmed when Halle Berry started doing nudity.
