There used to be something called the White Panthers. Thankfully, not a KKK branch; it was basically just the white faction of the Black Panthers.

We might need them even more: part of the reason most black communities have stayed silent is because even peacefully protesting (while black) is enough for racist America to see it as a riot and demand the National Guard.
