Are the whites still having regular panics around the redneck states that the former slaves are running amok and coming for their women? That's what the KKK started out as, a militia to protect white farms and slave owners from marauding bands of slaves.
Regular hysteria in the redneck states at the beginning of the 19th century and onwards and it is still visible in 'white flight' to places like Florida. It is not a new story. Rome got pretty nervous when they realised that the slaves in the city outnumbered the citizens.
The United States of America is a colonialist construct and was never intended to include any citizen other than a white landowner. It started out as a sort of Orange Free State for religious nutters from Europe, a Europe that was quite frankly glad to see the back of them.
