There's very little to be interpreted. White liberals become significantly less sympathetic to poor whites when they are exposed to modern left racial ideology. Race achieves primacy. All of those other factors, of which they were previously aware, fade in comparison to the "privilege" these otherwise poor, economically disadvantaged groups experience.
A poor white person has no more or less responsibility. The Deep South is poor for historical, cultural, and geographic factors completely outside of the control of those alive today. Whether or not your average black is poorer than your average white (he/she is) has nothing to do with individual agency and control over circumstances.

White privilege lessons are sometimes used to increase awareness of racism. However, little research has investigated the consequences of these lessons. Across 2 studies (N = 1,189), we hypothesized that White privilege lessons may both highlight structural privilege based on race, and simultaneously decrease sympathy for other challenges some White people endure (e.g., poverty)—especially among social liberals who may be particularly receptive to structural explanations of inequality. Indeed, both studies revealed that while social liberals were overall more sympathetic to poor people than social conservatives, reading about White privilege decreased their sympathy for a poor White (vs. Black) person. Moreover, these shifts in sympathy were associated with greater punishment/blame and fewer external attributions for a poor White person’s plight. We conclude that, among social liberals, White privilege lessons may increase beliefs that poor White people have failed to take advantage of their racial privilege—leading to negative social evaluations.

Your study doesn't say race achieves primacy. It says that compared to black people white people are given less sympathy because they see less structural disadvantages. It also doesn't say other factors fade.
You are taking a radical conclusion that isn't supported by the data you are using. Something interesting that it does say, however, was that social liberals are more sympathetic to the poor than conservatives.
