Now you're catching on. Bush is a politician. You might like him but it doesn't make him any less a politician. If he wasn't a phony bullshit artist he would never have gotten elected.
Don't forget, traditionally, blacks in general aren't big fans of Bush or his party.
"In recent years, Republicans have tried to chip away at Democrats'long dominance of the black vote; Democrat John Kerry captured nearly 90 percent of the vote in 2004. Democrats have fought back to keep a critical part of their base."(Emphasis mine)
