I don’t think anyone blames systemic racism on black or brown voters. If Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi made it easy for black people to vote, instead of throwing every possible roadblock in the way, no Republican would hold an office elected by statewide voting in those states. Republicans would still control the legislatures and US House contingents, however, because the districts are gerrymandered to nullify the votes of the black people who manage, through persistent determination, to cast votes, having overcome the obstacles that the white power structure puts in their way.
