Seems like a bit of a stretch to attribute lower black numbers to voter suppression. The more likely scenario is blacks just weren't as enthusiastic supporting Hillary as they were supporting the first black POTUS in history. They voted Dem 92% in 2012, which is a ridiculous proportion with a pretty good turnout rate as well, it would be pretty unrealistic to expect that to be repeatable for future elections.
It's too bad because more urban black votes probably would have won Michigan, and maybe Pennsylvania and Florida too
