The black voters #'s is notable, it's a stark contrast to what we've seen from the South. If there is a difference in voting patterns of Northern/Southern blacks then that has huge implications for Biden.
It's definitely the case that Southern black voters (outside of the Atlanta metro) are more conservative than Northern black voters on social/religious issues. Usually doesn't matter much in a Presidential primary. I wouldn't expect a huge divergence, but some difference isn't surprising.
Tintrlvr, once again I hope you are not part of the "Troll Farm" of the Czarists and the Oligarchs, although you seem to not be a "bot", and obviously the Russian Fascist State has much better things to do than focus on individuals posting on Atlas....
I disagree with your premise that somehow African-American Democratic Party Voting patterns are somehow based fundamentally upon "social/religious issues". You must have been spending way too much time analyzing Atlas from overseas, rather than living in various communities in America for decades from a wide variety of social-demographic and regional background.
Black Americans & Latino Americans are frequently similar and self-identification sometimes might depend upon Country of Origin and the American Immigrant Story as much as anything else.
Regardless, looks like Bernie is sweeping the Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, and Jamaican Neighborhoods of the NYC....
The DEM NY '20 Primary isn't over, and Bernie plays well in the City, just like he did in Chi-Town and Metrlo LA.....
Your observation regarding the Social Conservatism among "Northern" and "Southern" Blacks is true in terms of a massive "voluntary" and "involuntary" forced migration of Southern Blacks during the peak of the Jim Crow era > 1970s.
The "Push-Pull" factor of one of the largest internal migrations within Modern US History, created a separation between families leaving the Homeland to find jobs at substandard wages, racist foremen, and red-lining housing policies, even during the 1930s.
The Sons and daughters of Black WW II veterans remembered the struggle from before. It was brought into educational institutions, mass transit, greater equity in hiring, breaking down racist dominated White Trade Unions, and eventually even in the form of "Black Cops".
Still, many consider Maryland a "Southern State" on Cultural Values, where the African-American Community stood up on Gay Rights issues not so many years back....
So what you sayin' man?
I would posit that Biden's support among AA voters in certain states of the Deep South has a bit more to do with average age of Registered DEM Voters, than it does with religious/cultural issues.
