I've heard it said that black democrats are quite pragmatic. After generations of seeing well-intentioned politicians be unable to enact any reforms, they value a perceived ability to actually make deals, work congress, etc. over idealism. They might look at Bernie and say 'great guy, great values, but as a leader he's not actually going to be able to get any meaningful reform passed', while with Hillary, 'spotty record, but she's far more likely to enact (and preserve) meaningful reform.'
