They mean black people who don't vote for them. That's why it's a dogwhistle. It became a lot more clear what they meant by that during the 2016 presidential election between Clinton and Trump. The implication being that the reason they weren't voting for them was because they were intellectually inferior, and not because they were making a conscious and willing decision to not vote for a neoliberal hag.
I mean you're probably not murdering anyone by using it, just wanted to tip you off of its problematic connotations.
Good to know, thanks.
