Unusually, her outfit is now more acceptable than his, including the whip.

We’ve mentioned this one before, under its ‘Dangerous Visions’ title: ‘With the Bentfin Boomer Boys in Li’l Old New Alabama’.
It’s in phonetic hillbilly-English, so the spaceships are powered by ‘agonised matter’. As good a description of the cover as any.

Them thar good ol’ boys can’t go anywhere without a spitoon nearby. Good thing he’s got one built into his helmet.

They’ll let anyone have a planet of their own nowadays.

If this cover had a theme tune it would be the General Lee’s car horn. On synths.

How Trump sees himself. And the alternative view.

It’s a minor SF trope, really: the “every nation/ethnic group/religion/major power gets their own planet” trope. Other examples include a short story by Mike Resnick called “Will the last one to leave the planet turn off the Sun”, Alan Dean Foster’s “Codgerspace”, Ken Kato’s “Yamato” series, Jack Williamson’s “Seetee” [1], and others.
[1] If you think Space Confederates are bad, this book, originally written during WWII, it had the solar system divided up between the major combatants, with Soviet Jupiter and moons, Nazi Mars, Japanese Venus, and the US holding the Earth-Moon system and dominating their former homelands. Later editions had to do a rather clumsy retcon.

I gotta say, both the cover and @Ryan’s comment are reflective of the book content.
The Confed boys of N’bama (and New everything else) lose big to the planet of New Haiti IIRC. Also, half the book is about Native Australians in spaaaace, and you can guess what color they are.
I actually owned this book with this cover, but gave it away because while the content is fine…
Dick Lupoff was a good guy, wrote both SF and mystery well. He had a mystery series featuring the basic white private eye — and a Black female cop. In 1988.
He wasn’t much for white superiority.
