Dylann Roof killed nine people in a Black church in 2015 in order to start a “war” between the white and Black races. This case is used here to develop a psychoanalytic theory of murderous racism, and even genocide. Major concepts from Freud (self-preservation, hatred, narcissism, life and death drives, delusion), Klein (projective identification), and Bion (psychotic and nonpsychotic parts of the personality) are employed. Particular attention is given to the hearing to determine Roof’s capacity to represent himself after he dismissed his lawyers, who wanted to use an insanity defense to avoid the death penalty. This hearing was confronted with an undecidable dilemma, which led to legal cooperation with Roof’s suicidal impulses. The deconstructive approach to undecidability, and its use in questions of law, especially as concerns the relation between psychoanalysis and the death penalty, leads to tentative recommendations for the prevention of racist murder.

2015 年，Dylann Roof 在黑人教堂杀害了 9 人，以引发白人和黑人之间的“战争”。这个案例在这里被用来发展一种关于杀人种族主义甚至种族灭绝的精神分析理论。采用了弗洛伊德（自我保护、仇恨、自恋、生死驱力、妄想）、克莱因（投射性认同）和比恩（人格的精神病和非精神病部分）的主要概念。听证会特别关注确定 Roof 在解雇他的律师后代表自己的能力，他的律师想要使用精神错乱的辩护来避免死刑。这场听证会面临着一个无法决定的困境，这导致了与 Roof 的自杀冲动的法律合作。不可判定性的解构方法及其在法律问题中的应用，
