I didn't say this. I said that people are expected to back Biden because there's the perception that he has the best chance to beat Trump.
Explain why it matters.
Go u. I was just saying that's not why Biden backers back him during the primary. They actually like his agenda.
It matters because he the record of enacting policies over the decades that helped the true and tried base of the party.
Civil Rights - he literally came in after a city was in
MARTIAL LAW because of race riots.
"In the black neighborhoods of East Wilmington residents were afraid. Guardsmen were prowling the streets with loaded weapons. Curfews were in effect. The news had a way of making these stories seem like a conversation between the races, but I knew blacks & whites weren’t talking to each other."
His first election we won in a GOP area to help ease tensions and broker relationships with the black community.
People remember that
His black supporters firmly opposed busing. and he got chastised by the National Media and still is. The people he helped understood why he did it. At the time helping a predominant black part of the city was insane, especially one that disagreed with them.
This has led to predominately black cities taking control of their own education system and not having the government dictate which kids go to which schools. We control our schools, we control our school boards. That's why there's a separation in certain cities between the county school districts and the city school districts.
Voted YES on setting aside 10% of highway funds for minorities & women.

By far the biggest wealth increase into the black community has been via Federal Contracts/State contracts set aside for blacks. These contracts led to the growth of many of our largest companies before blacks were included, Coca Cola, Exxon, GM etc. He was a firm supporter that we were included. We don't have our Coca Cola yet, but atleast we got a shot.
Rated 100% by the NAACP, indicating a pro-affirmative-action stance. Affrimative Action has led to blacks being integrated into society within most fields in America. It
These are just tried and true examples of some of the stuff he's done for African Americans that have had a significant impact to our growth and our political positions in America.
This is why older black ppl ride with Biden, he has a track record. And this is why millennial black ppl look like spoiled brats. Taking advantage of the paths created for you, while criticizing the people who did it for you. Hypocrisy at its finest. 
The reason Biden is polling high nationally is just like he has this track record for blacks, he has it with working whites as well. Bernie has this record as well, it comes down to which one you believe.
During the years Biden and Bernie were putting in real work, that now is the base of the black community. Waren said reaganomics was transformationally beneficial for society. She backtracked those statements when she was selected as the first Native American Law professor at Harvard.
