You’re missing the gerrymandering and voter suppression that happens in surprisingly black areas. You’re missing the disenfranchised voters you put the blame on.

I’m not “missing” anything. What I’m saying is that currently in Alabama (including gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc.) there is very little chance the state will amend the state constitution in a way that removes racist language.

You're right. Most people down here act like it's still 1800. Casual racism is alive and well.
