To a degree, blacks being 17% Republican is higher than their percentage of population at 13%.

That 17% of non white voters aren't all black voters. It's the percentage of all the various minorities who vote for you and thats not really how percentages work. You have to know what you're taking a percentage of. 13% of the entire population equates to a hell of a lot more people than 17% of the people who vote for the Republican Party. When you take into account that not all Americans are old enough to vote, that out of those who are eligible to vote only little more than half the population does, that about half those votes are going to be for democrats, then that 17% of Republican voters becomes a much smaller number.
