	4	+====Blackness is ontological – the natal alienation of black bodies produced through the Middle Passage is a singular structuring event that has shaped the foundations of civil society. The affirmative relies on a politics that seeks to situate various contingent identities such as "immigrant" "worker" and "queer" within the world and attempts to justify their incorporation into the category of capital H Humanity. Their radicalism is still reliant on liberal modernism and enlightenment conceptions of humanism that are only possible due to the violent exclusion of the Black. Whereas the conflicts the aff discusses can be resolved via decolonialism, opening of borders, making everyone citizens, Blackness is an antagonism to civil society that cannot be resolved. Any attempt at animating and incorporating the black body into civil society fail because they ignore the ontological dimension of anti-blackness====

	11	+====The affirmative begins from the wrong starting point, they theorize race relations from a white/non-white divide in which racial oppression and violence eminates from a state saturated in whiteness. HOWEVER, this is an important distinction, theories of racism rather than theories of anti-blackness ignores the singularity and structural nature of slavery and the middle passage. Specifically in the context of immigration politics and challenges for immigrant rights, this manifests itself in two ways 1) it constructs the myth of Black citizenship, rather than recognizing that blackness has no place in the world. 2) it assumes a political system based on legality and illegality which assumes violence is contingent upon a TRANSGRESSION of the law, however antiblack violence is gratuitous and Blackness is always seen as illegal. ALL politics should begin from the starting point of the Black/non-Black divide, only the alt can do this: this is a reason the permutation can never capture the alt because it will always try to force black politic into a white/non-white political paradigm.====

	17	+
	18	+====The identity politics of the affirmative cannot account of the complete nonrelation of the Black corpse and only mystifies anti-black violence by placing it on a plane of equivalence with all other contingent violence while ignoring that there is no grammar of suffering capable of describing or comprehending anti-black violence. Alt is prerequisite to the affirmative====

	26	+====The position of the slave is trapped between the subjective and objective vertigo that produces the violence of political economy. The Affirmative understands violence as a response to intra-Human conflicts of citizenship, borders, labour, gender, sex, and police brutality. This is because while the affirmative can point to the specific contingent causes of violence for immigrants and their solutions, i.e. subjective vertigo, for the Black there is no cause to politio-social violence and racial terror. This renders the logic of the affirmative unaccountable to ontological violence of black suffering constructed by the violence of anti-blackness. This is only possible because the affirmative is fighting for a place IN THE WORLD while ignoring that Blackness has no place and is excluded FROM THE WORLD.====
