they are one bad day from snapping and going full KKK and they're all deluding themselves into thinking everyone else is the same way
They all read a shitty fiction book (The Turner Diaries; you can download a pdf for free; please don't buy it because it contributes profits to racism) in which that's a part of the plot leading to societal collapse. Timmy McVeigh (OK City bomber) had a copy in his car when he got arrested.

Reminds me of that big NYC blackout. The news was covering it like the whole city was going to fall into chaos with neighbors attacking each other and everything. Mostly it was just people chilling in the dark hoping to get their power back as soon as possible.
Too much TV and not enough non-white people in their life
The didn't consult the underpants gnomes.
