To my knowledge, the issues that Sanders supports just about *all* have majority, popular support, outside of any labels. Reparations is controversial even within the black community. They, generally, consider it a distraction from far more pressing issues like criminal justice reform.
And speaking of criminal justice reform, I'm unaware of *any* decent policy proposals by Clinton on the subject, beyond Bill saying that he made some mistakes - as president - on the subject, but Sanders has praise from BLM activists on his policy proposals.
