Actually, he only got about 8% of the black vote (which is about what most expected). He did get 29% of the Latino vote which I think was higher than most expected.
Here are the exit polls with plenty of interesting info.
Exit Polls 2016
Among the highlights. The poor actually voted for Hillary (although it was close). The economy was by far the #1 issue on voter's minds. People's views on Obamacare are pretty evenly split. 48% say it either didn't go far enough or was about right while 47% say it went too far. For me, the most interesting one is the question that asks how people will feel if Clinton or Trump wins. They are almost identical with 44% saying they would feel good if Clinton won and 40% saying they would feel good if Trump won.
