I agree, but would only recognize that for some people in some states, it is not uncharted but well charted territory. From 1866 to 1980 for example, not group of white men who got their weapons after alleging a crime by one or black men occurred and set out to get that black man or men, then killed him or them, went to jail in Alabama or Georgia. They suffered no consequences for murdering a fellow citizen under the conditions that the citizen or citizens were black and there was an allegation of crime (not proof, just an allegation). That was the normal expectation of actual practiced law for whites in general society, even though the law on the books was “Thou shall not kill or thousand shall be arrested, tried in court, and go to jail.” They had no expectation of going to jail for group murder and didn’t. Then in 1981, a group of white men who seized a young black man, Micheal Donald, randomly off the street, were arrested, tried, and jailed “correctly” under the law. The first time the territory of justice and democracy had been charted for black Americans in that state. Only white authoritarianism existed in the period before that for black Americans.
