In the 2012 election, Odumbo won with a margin of less than 4% of the popular vote, flighty, meaning those, even if less than 5%, who voted for Odumbo because he was black gave Odumbo the edge in the electoral college. Case closed, you lose, flighty.

The population of blacks in these states is less than 3%, except California where it is 6.6 percent. Obama won California by 13%. No matter how black people voted in these states, Obama would have won with just the white vote. The number of electoral college votes for these states comes to 70. If Mitt had done better with the white votes in these states he would have had 276 electoral college votes and won the election. Your logic would only work for an election that depends on the popular vote. The black vote did NOT determine the 2012 election. Case closed, you LOSE.
