Unlike blacks (which are 90% D everywhere), whites can be just about anything politically, depending on the location.

In the South, there are a lot of blacks, yes, and they are very Democratic, but that's outweighed by the conservatism of Southern whites. So, even in places where there are many liberal blacks, they're still outnumbered by whites, who are (in this case) very conservative. In the North, there aren't a lot of blacks, but the whites (who form the overwhelming majority in most places) are liberal.
