This also makes you wonder is this why these red states continue to stay red for so long. Culture plays a role. Regional culture. If over 50% of black people in Mississippi are home owners, maybe they're led to believe that a Democrat run state would look like New York or California. Maybe the home owners are conservatives.

Nevermind....
Mississippi has the highest percentage of Black residents in the country at nearly 39%. White Republicans have long had total control over state government due to an array of voter suppression policies dating back to Reconstruction, designed to keep the formerly enslaved from exercising full citizenship rights.
Mississippi has an extreme felony disenfranchisement law, with rights taken away permanently with little recourse for restoration. More than 10% of adults in the state, the highest rate in the country, were affected as of 2020.
That includes more than 130,000 Black voters, 16% of the adult Black population in the state.
In the past two years, Mississippi’s Republican-dominated legislature has rejected numerous attempts to provide some pathway for people with felony convictions to have their rights restored.
As he was designating April as Confederate Heritage Month, Republican Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves vetoed the one bill that was passed with bipartisan support. It would have restored the right to vote for a narrow set of people who have had crimes expunged from their record by a judge.
“Felony disenfranchisement is an animating principle of the social contract at the heart of every great republic dating back to the founding of ancient Greece and Rome,” said Gov. Reeves in his veto message. “In America, such laws date back to the colonies and the eventual founding of our Republic.”
In Mississippi, the history Reeves references was a ploy by white enslavers outnumbered by newly freed Black men who suddenly had the right to vote and run for political office. In 1890, white elected officials wrote disenfranchisement into the state constitution for people convicted of a long list of crimes designed to target Black men specifically.
It was only last year that the state voted to remove Confederate imagery from the state flag.
Deep inequity in voting access
Voter turnout in the 2020 presidential election in Mississippi was about 60%, the sixth worst in the country.From felony disenfranchisement, to racial gerrymandering, to strict photo ID requirements at the polls, Mississippi employs most of the tactics traditionally used to keep Black people from voting or thwart their representation and influence in government.
It has rejected most of the policies known to level the playing field of voting access to lower-income voters and people of color.

2) Black Voter Turn Out is also high
And none of this gets into white predatory practices - which pop off in Democrat and Republican strongholds.
Here's one that just popped off in Black and super Democratic DC

As an aside, Popular Mainstream Liberal Narratives think that Trump and the Repubs have turned the corner by attracting 20% of the Black Male vote and 7% of the Black Female Vote. (Trump has a multi-racial coalition)...
This, imo, is a way for the White Liberals to jettison Black People's concerns from their platforms - so they can concentrate on? who the hell knows...
Blue.
Red states engage in gerrymandering and gross disenfranchising, so they clearly don't respect Black land rights.
Though land prices in blue states would deal a blow to Black homeownership.
Are you talking about a home in a separate yard or apartments count too?

it seems like there are very few blue states at all these days. and most of them are way out east or way out west, which are all EXTREMELY expensive when it comes to housing.
Can't save for a house when the state is taking half your paycheck.
Blue states are more expensive because they have higher paying knowledge jobs. If Mississippi became blue, some of those people would be priced out of home ownership
