Here is Ohio’s law against wearing mask.
OHIO 3761.12 Prohibition against conspiracy while wearing disguise. (Effective Date: 10-01-1953)
No person shall unite with two or more others to commit a misdemeanor while wearing white caps, masks, or other disguise.
Note “white caps and masks” only — that’s KKK-specific.
State of Georgia:
O.C.G.A. 16-11-38
Wearing mask, hood, or device which conceals identity of wearer.
(a) A person is guilty of a misdemeanor when he wears a mask, hood,
or device by which any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed,
or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer and
is upon any public way or public property or
upon the private property of another
without the written permission of the owner or occupier of the property to do so.
(b) This Code section shall not apply to:
(1) A person wearing a traditional holiday costume on the occasion of the holiday;
(2) A person lawfully engaged in trade and employment or in a sporting activity

(3) A person using a mask in a theatrical production including use in
Mardi gras celebrations and masquerade balls; or

Can we redefine black as being really, really dark white caps, masks?
