Racialized control technologies remain ready and are met with weak public resistance
Evidence
The prophylactic apparatuses make readily available a toolbox of technologies racially shaped and licensed for the management of social heterogeneities, and their perceived challenges and threats. The relative lack of robust public resistances – even the intense resistance to resistance, to criticism – suggests that the possibility of pressing repressive social technologies into service is disturbingly closer at hand than is comfortable to contemplate. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 485 (

Changes in POS that stimulate increased contention, furthermore, do not always involve expanding opportunity for challengers; repression that directly threatens challengers’ identities and survival regularly produces resistance rather than passive demobilization (Goldstone and Tilly 2001; Tilly 2005c). — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 662 (
