Black people all looked at him saying that like "Excuse me?" Tons supported him anyway, but it was pragmatism. Black people's support of Biden has generally been pragmatism .
I will never forget the time Biden said "if you don't vote for me, you ain't Black" and the response from your average Democrats ranged from "yeah, basically" to "ohh, Biden, you gotta love the old kook" with not a single instance of "he said WHAT?" to be found.
