But why are (white) Southerners so solidly pro-Trump Republican? Slavery and persistent racism thereafter. http://wapo.st/1TTx6z4 pic.twitter.com/Ostze24KyA

It's so conditioned. Almost every white person in Alabama votes GOP to block almost every black person voting Dem.https://twitter.com/nathanlgonzales/status/912869364361244672 …
Samuel Sinyangwe added,
So white Southerners voted Trump due to racism!? Yes, but not just them. Race colors voter preferences more broadly. https://pcl.stanford.edu/research/2010/iyengar-racial-candidate.pdf …pic.twitter.com/L9P6qDjdXq
There's debate in political science between those who think racism is real and those who think it's just conservatism in general. But...
But studies have shown that even "ideological conservatives" apply their conservatism in a racist manner... http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1065912916685186 …pic.twitter.com/4rugJDLxHF

So racists (obviously) are real and vote. And they have disproportionate power because so many others are excluded.https://twitter.com/samswey/status/887760341484142592 …
Samuel Sinyangwe added,
So looking at Dem vs GOP without considering race misses *why* people identify as such and *how* they apply this ideology.
It also misses why so many (especially Southern) states are solidly white and GOP controlled despite having very diverse populations.pic.twitter.com/wNzcyBc1AV
The question is how to counteract the racism of these areas to ensure people of color have political power and rights, too.
voter turnout? We can outvote them, if we vote at a higher rate than they do. "We" being not just black folks but POC + anti-racist whites.
