-Black protest and free speech doesn’t negate social debate but represents a voiceless scream while endlessly mute because black demands can not exist within civil society.

-The alternative is an ethics of refusal, which creates an outside to the irredeemable structures of an antiblack civil society – burn down the myth of futurity, abandon integration, and don’t advocate for recuperating civil society through so called progressive policies and plans – the role of the ballot is to resist anti-blackness and the role of the judge is to be an anti-ethical decision-maker. |
