Many red states also have the highest percentages Black, Latinx and Native people who are all impacted by largely white leadership that is detrimental to their well-being and health, like MS is 40% Black & TX is 40% Latinx. Who are the poorest citizens with the worst healthcare?

Unfortunately white writers writing about red states regularly elide this very crucial demographic point, but the South and Southwest have the most Black and Latinx populations while the Plains states have the most Native populations. That photo erases the demographic reality.
No one wants to acknowledge that red states being run by white GOP leadership perpetuates white supremacy when these states have such large populations of Black, Latinx and Native people, but it's a fact.
Also, Texas, one of the states I am talking about, just threw out thousands of primary ballots. Let's play guess the demographic of the voters.
