Antiracist success gives way to antiracialism fixating on categorization over economics

Evidence

It follows that, fifth – and this is the heart of the argument I am insisting on elaborating – in wake of each of these broad antiracist social, political, economic, and legal mobilizations (for each consisted of the combination), antiracism gave way to the dominant trend of antiracialism. Success in doing away with the legal superstructure of racial subjugation gave way (or in) quite quickly to concerns not so much over differential economic or social access and possibilities as considerations of racial categorization and classification, racial preferences and group-conceived possibilities. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 116
