The last two sentences are correct, of course, but the rest is a clinic in lying with chloropleth maps. The darkest color is >50%, many of those counties are low-pop rurals, and no state has a Black majority. Republicans win in those states because white voters vote for them as a bloc.

so unlike the rest of the states the southern states black populations are concentrated in the rural parts 🤨

I think that is not true, the black population is *also* concentrated in the cities in those states. what is true is that unlike the rest of the states, there are rural counties that are majority Black en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_B...

County maps usually give distorted views because they overrepresent rural counties with small populations. Like Nevada looks very red if you don't know that 2/3 of the votes are in that one blue county. In Black Belt states, some of the overrepresented counties are majority Black.
