"Clinton needed extremely strong support from African-American voters to try to offset Trump’s margin among whites. She did win 88 percent of the black vote to just 8 percent for Trump."

"Trump claimed 29 percent of the Hispanic vote on Tuesday compared to Romney's 27 percent in 2012. With blacks, exit polls show Trump claimed 8 percent of the vote to the previous Republican nominee's 6 percent."
You may be correct. The numbers vary by source currently.
However the trend of Black voters should still be concerning to Democrats.
"Clinton needed extremely strong support from African-American voters to try to offset Trump’s margin among whites. She did win 88 percent of the black vote to just 8 percent for Trump. However, this was significantly lower than the 93 percent of black voters Mr. Obama won four years ago."
That has more to do with Hillary not being Black rather than a trend imo.

I agree with that to some degree. However.... more broadly... it has to due with Hillary being a terrible candidate. Bernie would have gotten higher black support based on polling.
