Obviously, these are all less than 1%, but sadly those believing the below do exist.

A. - all non-whites deported
B. - legalized slavery
C. - women barred from voting
D. - death penalty for homosexuality
E. - murder of non-whites not considered murder
F. - brutal corporal punishment for drug possession
G. - women considered to be property of fathers/husbands

I'd say:

D > F > G > C > E > A > B

It should be left to the respective states to decide (jk)

I have a feeling considerably more than 1% support F, D, and A, sadly enough

I think that F is probably not that unpopular.

F is probably the most popular by a longshot.  The others are hard to judge.  A few might be much more popular if you softened the language somewhat.  Especially G.  Take out the word "property", and express the same sentiment in a different way, and you'd probably get many more people agreeing.

F probably has about 20% or so support, which is not overwhelming, but is probably not much lower than people who'd support brutal corporal punishment for any crime.
