Throwing out the non-"Southern" metroes in Texas and South Florida, in what Deep South city are White voters the most Democratic? 

I'm thinking the two best candidates are Atlanta or New Orleans.  I'll give the edge to New Orleans just because the city's White population is more dominated by working-class ethic Whites than in Atlanta.  Are there any estimates of this?  Would be interesting to see the numbers.

EDIT:  Apparently Hillary Clinton got 58% of the White vote in Orleans Parish (New Orleans is a combined city-parish) in 2016.  Did she do better with Whites in Atlanta?  Nashville?

Places like Durham, Asheville, Chapel Hill, Decatur or Druid Hills aren't really "cities" though.

I was thinking more along the lines of the anchor cities of the big, Deep South metores which are pretty-much limited to Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Charlotte, New Orleans and Houston.

So I think it's an Atlanta/New Orleans race.  New Orleans is at 58.5%; are Atlanta whites more Democratic than that?

Well, if you artificially define the word city to exclude places like Durham and Asheville, which are pretty quintessential small cities, you'll of course be narrowed down to Atlanta and New Orleans. You'll notice I set Carrboro, Druid Hills, and Decatur off as I wasn't sure if they fit in the definition.

If you want to know if Atlanta or New Orleans whites are more Democratic, ask that.

I pretty much did if you read OP.
