Because you're logged in as you but trying to start an X client as
root.

You own your .Xauthority file, and X enforces (as it should) the
restriction that other people can't start X clients on your console
unless you explicitly allow it.

So, either log in as root, or do an xhost +localhost ; su ;
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0.
