How does your post lead to Alabama being a racist state?

Interesting statistics. But you haven't presented a case for Alabama being racist.

I think what you have found is gerrymandering.

African Americans vote about 90% Democratic- and Republicans have likely gerry mandered the shit out of districts in Alabama to ensure that Democrats can't get elected.

I can't imagine why they would gerrymander out black people from representation. Are blacks inherently inferior?

If basically half the state is black, why are you only putting the blame on white people?

Alabama hasn't been a racist state since the Democrats stopped lynching black folks back in the 1920's.

What about all those murders by the KKK (who are now Republicans) back in the 1960s and 1970s?

Look: If you're going to comment on American history, the least you could do is learn something about us.

The Klan from its inception and up through the 60's and 70's was comprised completely of registered Democrats. I will go so far as to say that there's most likely never been a lynching of a black person in this country, by any Klan member who was a registered Republican.

I don't know the political affiliation of any current Klan members because I've never really seen one. But if I ever do, I'll be sure to ask him or her.

So where did all those Democrats go? Did they all die suddenly after 1980? Replaced by young, Republicans? If that's true then why are so many Republicans in the South born in the 1940s.

They're still with us. But they all mysteriously turned into communists at some point in 1968. They found out that they could run up a bigger body count by just murdering the blacks in the womb, instead of lynching them.

True story, mang. I shit you not.

Woman who accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct sues him for defamation
Source: WAPO

In a lawsuit that echoes a civil case against President Trump, an Alabama woman on Thursday sued failed U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore and his campaign for defamation, citing harsh personal attacks she faced after coming forward with allegations he touched her sexually when she was 14 years old.

Leigh Corfman is not seeking financial compensation beyond legal costs. She is asking for a declaratory judgment of defamation, a public apology from Moore, and a court-enforced ban on him or his campaign publicly attacking her again. She said in a statement that the suit seeks “to do what I could not do as a 14-year-old — hold Mr. Moore and those who enable him accountable.”

A representative of Moore’s campaign, Brett Doster, said he had no immediately comment on the lawsuit, filed in state court in Montgomery County, Ala.

So how did the South flip from Democrat to Republican if the electorate stayed the same? (racist majority Democrats staying Democrats, and non-racist majority Republicans staying Republicans).

If those electorates are the same, then how do republicans win now?

I'll point out that as soon as Alabama passed a voter ID law, they closed the motor vehicle offices in black neighborhoods.

does that help?

We win by making promises to the voters, and keeping those promises.

It ain't rocket science.

Good question. Look to black run nations, for an answer to your question.

That's a blatant lie. 31 motor vehicle offices were closed because of budget cuts in 2015, while Obama was still in office. They were offices in rural areas only, not large cities where the preponderance of black folks live.

They were also re-opened the same year.
