	1	+There is no hope for progress via the political – politics are structurally anti-black – searching for solutions within politics constitutes a “politics of hope” that leads to pursuit of the impossible for Blacks.
	2	+Warren 15: Calvin L. Warren Professor in the American Studies department at George Washington University “Black Nihilism and the Politics of Hope” Michigan State University Press. CR: The New Centennial Review, Vol. 15, No. 1, 2015, pp. 215–248
	3	+Perverse juxtapositions structure…of political fantasy.
	4	+
	5	+A focus on police brutality misses the forest for the trees. You say we unfairly police blacks, but this is not a product of discrimination but of underlying psychic structures that necessitate black suffering. A focus on police brutality is just an attempt to make the movement appeal to the masses without ever changing actual structures.
	6	+Wilderson 14 Frank B, Prominent critical theorist and former fighter against apartheid, October 2014, Transcription by Ill Will Editions, November 2014. Minor edits have been made for length and readability, “We’re trying to destroy the world” Anti-Blackness and Police Violence After Ferguson, http://sfbay-anarchists.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/frank-b-wilderson-iii-were-trying-to-destroy-the-world-antiblackness-police-violence-after-ferguson.pdf //BWSWJ
	7	+FW: That was…response to it.

	9	+Your focus on police militarization and “subsequent” violence shuts off big picture discussion; the idea that minor reforms solve racial police violence appeals to the sensitivities of oppressors. We need to question the irrationality of their fears first.
	10	+Nopper and Kaba 14 Nopper, Tamara K. (sociologist, writer, and editor) Kaba, Mariame (founding director of Project NIA, a grassroots organization with a vision to end youth incarceration) “Itemizing Atrocity” Jacobin, 8/15/14. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/08/itemizing-atrocity/

	12	+According to the… or the mundane.
	13	+
	14	+The politics of hope relies on a “trick of time” that constitutes cruel optimism – hope is always “not-yet-realized” for Blacks within the political, which causes an endless cycle of violence and psychological suffering.
	15	+Warren 15: Calvin L. Warren Professor in the American Studies department at George Washington University “Black Nihilism and the Politics of Hope” Michigan State University Press. CR: The New Centennial Review, Vol. 15, No. 1, 2015, pp. 215–248
	16	+The politics of…a future tense.
	17	+
	18	+The alternative is political apostasy – the only ethical action is self-excommunication from the political. Refusing to place hope in political change is the only method available to negate structures of violence.
