But to pretend like he won the black vote because he's been some huge force in the civil rights movement is absurd. He won the black vote because of his party.
He did do some good things on the side of civil rights, and he has a lot of support from black political leaders for that. That being said, there were some definite grumblings about Biden and he has a lot of work to do to regain some trust.
