I don't think it's so much disdain for Bernie (let alone anti-semitism) as it is love for Hillary, at least for 2016.

The Clintons are held in high repute amongst the black community (AFAIK); black incomes and household wealth soared as poverty plunged during the late-1990s, so why go against someone who you know and trust to do what's right for you?

True, Bernie also has been an advocate for the black community in terms of civil rights and economics for decades, but he's never built up the reputation and recognition that Hillary has. They don't know him and they don't trust him. Most black voters probably made up their mind about who to support years ago, and don't really care for any new challengers. She just towers over him in this regard.

EDIT - Mister Mets beat me to it while I left in the middle of typing
