it was really by age that decided Black Turnout in NC according to a graph I saw from Nate Silver's website once. Blacks under 45 yes turnout went down but age 45 and up Black Turnout was nearly the same as 2012.
Just from a recent historical standpoint Black% make-up of NC's Presidential Electorate:
2004: 26%(source NYT exit poll from 2012.) 2008: 23%(NYT exit poll 2012) 2012: 23%(NYT exit poll 2012) 2016: 20% (CNN exit poll 2016)
Another interesting fact is the Black overall make-up of NC's population has stayed stable at 22% since the 1970 Census.
