I think that the increase in votes he gets from his color is too small to offset the racists and bigots. Not only does he not get all the black votes, partly due to his rather light color and partly because some simply like Hilary, the actual turnout for black voters is sadly usually smaller (no I don't have links to hand backing that up but they aren't hard to find).
