Racial homogenization is a prerequisite for othering and racial sovereignty

Evidence

Born again racism gone global thus becomes the attempt to reimpose racial sovereignty in the face of the emerging global challenges to clonializing power. The artifice of racial homogenization is the necessary condition for effecting objectification, othering, and enmity that together form the substance of racial sovereignty. The model has been made most extremely palpable in the vanishing of an ethnoracially conceived population that Ghada Karmi has so painfully characterized in the case of the Palestinians. Social movements insistent on the project of heterogeneity – as much on the premises as the political economy, social architecture, and habitus – are committed to dissolving the cultures of racial restriction, disappearance, destruction, and death, their modes of thought and being, seeking to suffocate the stranglehold of racial sovereignty. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 708
