Also, Obama and Biden did tons of clearly white supremacist things in office, but are you just going to say "how could a black person be racist against blacks?"

For just an example for reference if you have time watch the Vice special on Showtime Bernie Blackout.
Your bullet points are cute and all but, let's get to your real issue here...why do you care if I believe Biden is a racist...also re: bold, last time I checked being racist in America doesn't disqualify you to run or even win the presidency (see all republican presidents to one degree or another since Nixon).
I think these posts are related so I lumped them in here as to answers why black voters overwhelmingly voted for Biden if he's a racist. First of all, it's not a young vs old thing because
young black voters did not show up. The ones that did barely picked Bernie over Biden (same for Hillary over Bernie).
All of the answers seem to point to being misinformed by the corporate media. Do you see what the problem is with that? Do you see how that is an inherently racist thought to begin with, and how it's been echoed by the far-left to the point where a lot of blacks feel alienated? Imagine being lectured about racism by someone who's never experienced it for themselves, or being told that you are coming from a place of ignorance when you represent one of the highest-information voting demographics year in and year out.
I think the real answer is that black people don't think Biden is a racist ftmp, and definitely don't think he's more racist than Sanders. They don't want white people telling them who is and who isn't racist, and they don't want to be treated as low-information voters, when it's actually the opposite that is true.
