The study of race and racism in the digital society must produce theoretically distinct and robust formulations of Internet technologies as key characteristics of the political economy. The author puts forth racial capitalism as a coherent framework for this research agenda. The argument for racial capitalism draws on two examples of its engagement with two characteristics of the digital society: obfuscation as privatization and exclusion by inclusion. Internet technologies are now a totalizing sociopolitical regime and should be central to the study of race and racism.

平台资本主义和种族资本主义的交汇点：数字社会中的种族和种族主义社会学

对数字社会中种族和种族主义的研究必须产生理论上截然不同且功能强大的互联网技术，这是政治经济学的主要特征。作者提出种族资本主义作为该研究议程的连贯框架。种族资本主义的论点借鉴了其与数字社会的两个特征交往的两个例子：作为私有化的混淆和被包容排斥。互联网技术现已成为一种全面的社会政治制度，应成为研究种族和种族主义的中心。
