Political reality in most of the South is that the Republican Party is the White People's Party and the Democratic Party is the Black People's Party. Tribal slits in politics practically ensure machine government even in the tiniest of hick towns. Such ensures that government will look like the majority even if the majority is only 51% of the electorate, and that because of sure victories because of ethnic identity, corrupt and incompetent politicians can get away with corruption and incompetence indefinitely. Patronage becomes the norm. The solution for corruption and incompetence is obvious enough: vote the bums out. The right way in which to deal with corrupt black Democrats in public office is to vote for the white Republican as an alternative. The right way to deal with corrupt and incompetent white Republicans in public office should be obvious.
On Point 2, PBR, while the majority of Blacks tend to vote Dim-ocratic the Dims are not the party of black people. While the majority of whites vote GOP the GOP is not the white party. I can't speak for say Mississippi but in Florida blacks and whites run and win in both parties. As for voting, one needs to periodically throw the bums out regardless their party.
Churn is better than corruption.
Florida is no longer a stereotypical Southern state in its politics. The state has too many Yankee transplants to be truly Southern. See also Virginia and to lesser extents Texas and North Carolina.
The bums really need to go.
