According to CNN.com, the percentage of African American voters was 11% during the 2004 election, and 88% of those voted democratic.

I found a site called the African American Leadership Council http://www.aarlc.org/index.asp and there seems to be some information there, although it is a republican site, therefore, biased. That being said, it might offer some insight as to why more blacks vote democratic.

Mostly, I think it is because the democratic party has always more stongly "courted" them.
