The call for equality will always fail. Civil society produces a perfected form of slavery, that masks violence through reform

The aff’s strategy of inclusion can never account for the black body- blackness is the presence of absence that can never access freedom

The black body has no ontological resistance - the social death of the black body is the continuation of slavery and non-existence.

We don't read a lot of cards on this K, we basically Kritik the normative style of debate, and its focus on traditional forms of knowledge production. We say that the use of the white hegemonic codes will fail and only will only serve to reenforce the dominant structures.

   This debate held a radical potential for resistance that was foreclosed by the 1ac’s glorification of America, whose foundation was built on anti-blackness. Staying silent about anti-blackness is a form of active oppression.
