Evidence

My killing those supposedly racially not like me secures the projection of my racial being; but in predicating my security on a foundation that motivates a counter-killing equally racially predicated, my security is coterminously and at the deepest level an insecurity. Security through the destruction of those not (like) me is tantamount to the insecurity and ultimately threat and fear of death of the self-denyingly secure. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 145 (#expands, via linked claim)
