I mean, maybe. What year are we talking about here?
Perhaps in 2018 that wouldn't be a good idea, but even if you were to go back to so far as the 50s, I think that you would find a lot of blacks saying "yes. I very much WOULD like to have a seperate government ruling me in America, because this other group doesn't care about my rights".
There are lots of times when the majority is wrong, and decentralizing power is one method of insulating people from the effects of it.
