    I asked a former professor of mine, how do you convince a southern white person to vote in their best interest? He didn’t have an answer but said “If we were able to convince them that the Earth is in fact round then maybe we can convince them that voting red isn’t the best option.

      Poor whites becoming a base or the base of the democratic party ain’t gonna happen - a pipe dream. The need to feel better or superior to black folk runs too strong & too deep. Same way you’ll never be able to convince the overwhelming majority of white women that they share common interests with black women - another pipe dream, not gonna happen!

    You make a bunch of excellent points. I’m glad that there were the results you listed.

    But it doesn’t escape my attention (or yours) that three racist white candidates for statewide office succeeded at using their racism and the racism of their voters affirmatively to beat three excellent black candidates.
