The white woman's piety was established in contrast to the savage brute rapist myth of the black and native male. Not only did they feel we were unfit for freedom, but they also felt our demise was necessary in order for them to take (what they perceived as) their rightful place as oppressor beside the white male... that's the white woman's burden... to rule the negro beside her man. Rape accusation and her supposed piety were the first weapons she used toward that end. Thus the myth of the Black male rapist is inextricably married to feminism. The original Birth of a Nation (1915) was as much a feminist film as it was a KKK film when you examine it, as the KKK was born at the height of the southern feminist movement. Looking at why they hunted the Black male down in that movie provides plenty insight.
The white woman's purity has been not only her own weapon, but the excuse for public lynchings whether she was involved or not. Most importantly tho, she's used that as her main tool in inheriting the white man's burden of "civilizing" (read:ruling) non-white people.
