A new NOD could be a way to get Lashley over as a heel, but might be a bit too controversial these days.
Most of the black wrestlers on the roster are on Blue Show/ECW, though.

No. Putting all the black people into a stable just because they are black? Saying this now, before someone else says so, but we have this idea every week.
However I'd put maybe MVP, Elijah Burke, and Shelton together, because of similar gimmicks.

No. Stables are unstable in these modern days. You can't even have a decent tag team stick together longer than six months.
Because, at the end of the day, the wrestlers are more into putting themselves over; not the stable itself.

What's this? Five black wrestlers working in the same company?
We must make a new NOD!
The only reason why the NOD/Nation got over was because of The Rock (and to a lesser extent, D-Lo Brown). While Shelton and Burke have the most talent, I don't see any of the five with a third of the charisma that Mr. Johnson had.
Hence, the answer is no.

Only if it consisted of Big Daddy V, Henry, Lashley and Umaga.

Name them the mainstream playa's or something.
MVP and burke as the gangsta's, with back-up from M to the izark and big V

no.
keep BDV and henry together with stryker as the manager, those three have a nice chemistry together (stryker giving hi guys chairs to combat kane last week was a nice touch, not something you always saw from heel managers)
an "pro athlete" stable wouldnt be bad idea, to me. MVP as the team captain (obviously), shelton, haas (he still around?), dykstra, lashley as surprise fifth member could work. plus it could open up some nice 80's style jocks vs non-jocks feuds (guys like the hardys come off as anti-jock, to me anyway)

Part of me says it could work, but the other part wants to run and hide in fear that some jackass will look at "team captain" MVP and think "sailor hat", and then, well, then I have to kill people, and I'm just too busy.

Make a Black Evolution
Ric Flair -- Ron Simmons Triple H -- MVP Randy Orton -- Elijah Burke Batista -- Big Daddy V
Or simply a Black Team Angle
Kurt Angle -- MVP Charlie Haas -- Shelton Benjamin Shelton Benjamin -- Elijah Burke

hell yeah...MVP as the leader (you know bout his tattoos, right?) plus Shelton and Elijah as the great athletes/technical wrestlers plus BDV and Mizark as the monster tag team/bodyguard types and they could be involved on ECW and Smackdown which is a plus
why the hell not?? I wouldn´t include Lashley though, he should remain on RAW

Stables can't work with the brand split, there is way too much need for singles wrestlers. We barely have a tag team division because of the brand split.

For those not in the know, a law was passed in the year 2000 that once a week, on every discussion board on the internet, a topic must be created where someone suggests banding all the black wrestlers together to form a "new Nation Of Domination".
If this law is broken the internet dies.

They should make a new stable of all guys with "Black" in their name.
Black Reign Steve Blackman Tyler Black Black Tiger IV Blackjack Lanza Blackjack Mulligan um... Blacktop Bully?

If they play the stereotype card with Santino Morella (as they do), could you imagine what they'd do with a stable like that?
I envision death threats.

No. It'd be absolutely stupid to put all major black WWE performers into a heel, race driven stable. . Worked back then, but that's the time when Jerry Springer Wrestling was the way to go. Now, however, it would be viewed a derivative of the past product and exceedingly tasteless.
Now I can see a few of the aforementioned guys in a stable together because they're all pals and have the same goals, but not to resurrect an old, dated stable, only to get shock reactions, that then wouldn't even be "shock."
