It's probably worth noting that there have been no significant attempts at vigilante justice against murderer-cops, nor is such a thing even really imaginable. By contrast, for a century or more, white mobs extra-legally executed black men suspected of talking to a white woman.
Whites always envision this nightmare scenario where they lose power and suddenly other groups behave toward whites in the same way they did to others. But there's no reason to believe this would happen. White social formation makes their attitude to other races uniquely toxic.
If all white people alive today were permanently disenfranchised, the US would not become a dystopian anti-white horror show -- it would finally become an equal society, and whites would probably form terror cells to fight it every step of the way.
People want to imagine that "white culture" is about Shakespeare and Mozart or whatever, but it's about the slavemaster and the jailer and the police officer. Whiteness was invented as a warrant for domination, and that is all there is to it in the last analysis.
That's not every individual white person's "fault," nor do they deserve to suffer or feel guilty for the uncontrollable fact of being born into white culture. But they do have a duty to recognize what's actually happening and to try to stop it in any way they can.
James Cone says redemption is possible for white people if they become ontologically black. Frank Wilderson says that actualizing real freedom for everyone would mean that everyone becomes black -- which for white people dread like they dread death itself.
I'm not sure what that would mean concretely, though I am confident I'm not personally doing nearly enough. The discouraging thing to me, though, is that it's so impossible to talk to most white people about this reality without triggering defensiveness and resentment.
To get to a point where you can hear a negative generalization about white people, or even be personally accused of racism, and respond impassively -- not rushing to defend or dissociate oneself, and not rushing to admit to it in an effort to get brownie points... it's possible.
And just to be clear: the attitude I describe is not a major moral achievement by any means, just the baseline requirement to actually *think* about race with some level of rationality.
