Biden represents hope for ordinary Americans who want a return to the moderate policies of the Obama administration, but without Obama’s ugly, divisive skin color.

It wasn't his skin color. It was his assumed and aloof superiority, coupled with an apparent disinterest in what happened in his administration. He was almost a bystander in many contexts.

did many black people feel he was aloof, do you think?

I imagine the tens of thousands of black families who lost their homes thru the HAMP program did, since it was publicly supposed to help them but actually was used by SecTreas to foam the runway for Wall Street banks.

You know what I’m asking. Did black people generally have a vague sense that he was detached from them in some hard to define way other presidents weren’t?

I think that answer is different now than during his presidency. Yes, Obama winning an election is important. But what he did, or rather didn't do is less impressive in retrospect for everyone. But not more detached than any other president, I suppose.

I would gently suggest that most black people felt closer and less detached from Obama and his family than they have from other presidents.
