No it doesnt. It just means they turn out in the same numbers as whites which is very believable.

Which would make that, what, the first time that's ever happened?

I think blacks turn out in pretty good numbers, except in very poor inner city areas perhaps. I do believe rural blacks in the south vote in pretty high numbers. I don't have any data on it so not too sure....

Overall, blacks and whites have similar turnout numbers, they are both around 60% (+/- 3%).

Don't know where you got that from.  Blacks have a similar turnout among registered voters; their VAT is lower.

Well you can't turnout if you aren't registered(except in major cities like Philly and Detroit) so I was basing it off registration numbers.

In 2004, white turnout was 67% and black turnout was 60% among registered voters.
