This post is talking about absolute participation relative to 2012. Other posts are worried about participation *as a percentage of early voters*, relative to 2012.

While it is great that absolute AA turnout is up relative to 2012, turnout is up across the board (partly due to expanded early voting opportunities in Florida, relative to 2012). White turnout is up significantly more than AA turnout (causing AA's share to decline).
