This explains why the RATS go so far to paint Republicans as racists, anti-black, etc.
The RATS know that if the black vote dropped to even 85%, they would never win another national election. And they would lose a ton of state and local elections as well.

Precisely. I have been doing that math for decades also and pointing it out to people as to the reason the Democrats keep pandering to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton crowd.
Before Christmas, I was channel surfing and I happen to come across C-SPAN that was televising a conference sponsored by the Black GOP of Florida. One of the people at the head table, and I forget his name but he was an influential African-American, gave an interesting statistic. He said that a large group of the black population was surveyed and given the platforms of the Republicans and the Democrats. However, neither of the platforms were identified as such. He said 70% of the respondents identified with the Republican platform! Yet, 90% of the blacks support the Democrats. Needless to say, he was very frustrated how the Republican party has not communicated to the blacks as what they have to offer.
