The promise of "the future" prevents a full confrontation with the violence of the present because it creates the possibility of relief "to come" – only understanding time as anti-black accumulation can index existing conditions of violence

The Racial Contract has always been recognized by nonwhites as the real determinant of (

The presence of the slave makes ethics impossible. All actions within the matrix of anti-blackness are parasitic on the existence of blackness as the over-determination of incoherence, which precipitates anti-black freedom as a means of policing and disavowing black suffering.

the slave must become to pursue its calling that is not a calling.
The black body is the map of gratuitous violence which disarticulates their notions of resistance and freedom ¬– the black is always already marked with criminality – contingent interactions do not alter black ontology.
Our alternative is an unflinching paradigmatic analysis which forefronts discussions of black criminality in context of this year's resolution. Blackness as a site of absolute dereliction de-conceptualizes society as incoherent. We are the only ethical demand.

Slavery does not die because it has never lived. The anti-black grammar of suffering of the slave trade continues the crisis of language in which all actions and thoughts are contextualized within the slave trade. Their race-neutral intellectual project ignores the singularity of the black experience, appropriating black suffering as the template for non-black grievances, misrecognizing the afterlife of slavery.

The disqualification of black resistance by the logic of racial slavery is not unrelated to

predicament of freedom: there is no such thing as a fugitive slave.
