In Chris Hayes' "A Colony in a Nation," he delineates two distinct regimes within the United States: the Nation and the Colony.

The Nation represents the predominantly white, affluent areas where citizens enjoy the benefits of law and order, emphasizing a sense of security and privilege.

In contrast, the Colony refers to impoverished, predominantly Black neighborhoods where residents experience over-policing, systemic injustice, and a lack of trust in law enforcement.

Hayes argues that these two regimes coexist within the same nation, revealing a stark contrast in the application of justice and the lived experiences of its citizens based on race and socio-economic factors.

Chris Hayes is an American journalist, author, and television host, known for his work on MSNBC and "A Colony in a Nation."
