You don't know what building a relationship means?
I'm dead serious. If you can't see the difference between Biden and Bernie with how they interacted with black voters then you don't get it.
Here are a few examples that I gave y'all before super Tuesday:
1. Joe Biden actually showed up at black churches. Something that has long been considered a pillar of the black community. Especially in the south.
So did Bernie. Multiple times actually. Every Dem candidate visits black churches courting votes. This isn't something exclusive to Biden and it's hardly groundbreaking strategy. Its politics 101, which again, Bernie engaged in. And I don't recall anybody turning their back on him when he did it like they did to Bloomberg.
2. Joe Biden can point to his time as Vice President and the changes people saw during that time. He was literally on the ticket that brought us out of the recession. That resonates with people.
I thought we were talking about black voters, who incidentally lost more wealth under the Obama administration as a result of the housing crisis. Why in the hell would that resonate with BLACK voters?

3. Joe Biden has affirmed that he will not capitulate to the fringe elements of the party who want to abolish ICE and normalize illegal immigration/ open borders. That matters, especially when a lot of Black folks feel like they are competing against illegal immigrants for resources.
Bernie doesn't support open borders, he's made that explicitly clear, abolishing ICE isn't "fringe", and nobody is trying to "normalize illegal immigration". These are right wing and Trump talking points that have very little if anything to do with black voters.
A 2016 study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania found that an increase in the labor supply resulting from immigration could actually generate more employment in industries such as home construction and food production. Simply put, more demand for goods and services means greater demand for those providing those goods and services. While a handful of less-than-credible studies suggest that undocumented immigrants take jobs from U.S.-born black people and Latinos, existing data simply doesn’t bear out a correlation between undocumented immigration and unemployment rates among U.S.-born racial and ethnic minorities.

4. Joe Biden has a history of passing major legislation. You might now like it, but it happens.
Yes, that disproportionately negatively effects black people. 
5. People view his platform positions as actually achievable.
This is the only point that I will concede to you, but this is one of my problems. This isn't a GOOD thing, lol. People have been so beaten over the head that the policy posiitins that will actually benefit them the most are pie in the sky fantasies that they vote against their best interests.
6. Endorsements from other known commodities that you trust/respect.
My feelings about those endorsements and the people making them set aside, I'll grant you this one as well.
It is what it is. But he's a known commodity with reasonable proposals and has shown a willingness to show up at places a lot of Black folks deem as important.
On the other hand you have a guy who has some pretty good ideas, but hasn't made the effort to directly reach out to pillars of the black community, ignores older voters, and reduces every racial issue down to an issue of class.
shyt ain't rocket science.
Those "pretty good ideas" are light years beyond what Biden is offering and will do to benefit the very people flocking in droves to give him power over their lives. Bernie has made efforts to reach out to pillars of the community. Biden has literally ignored voters in general, young and old, yet this somehow doesn't matter. And we've gone down this road a million times, but I have no interest in debating racial inequality and how to address it WITHOUT also addressing how class inequality is interwoven with it. Identity politics fatigue.
So the only legitimate definitions you've made about Biden "connecting" with black people is that black politicians endorsed him (i.e. what we've been screaming. That his major selling point is that Obama picked him to be VP 12 years ago) and that people feel that his platform represents the status quo.
And that's so damn depressing I don't even have any words for it.
