Republican hands are certainly not clean on the race issue, but then again, it's not the Republican party that 90+% of black voters are flocking to. The real question here is, why do blacks continue to show loyalty to a party whose past is at least as checkered, if not more so.

You saying that Democrats' past with blacks is "at lesat as checkered, if not more so [than Republicans] doesn't make it true. Clearly, blacks, at least, do not believe that to be the case (for great reason, by the way). Obama's success is not the success of one individual, either. It is the success of countless individuals who paved the way for him to succeed, most of whom were also Democrats (by the way- you once again really need to work on your analogies. an analogy involving a lottery doesn't work at all when you are discussing a topic that involves far more than 100% pure chance to succeed).
You don't want to address Mormons at all. Instead, you keep asking "but why do blacks support Democrats? That doesn't make sense either!" For the sake of getting you to actually stay on point for once, let's assume that blacks are making an awful choice by supporting Democrats. Where does that leave your and Mormon support of Republicans?
