1NC – Policy

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

Dillon 13 (Stephen Dillon, assistant professor of Queer Studies @ Hampshire, ""It's here, it's that time:" Race, queer futurity, and the temporality of violence in Born in Flames", Women and Performance: a journal of feminist theory, 2013)
According to Spillers, the anti-blackness inaugurated under chattel slavery is a death
AND
what the future will be. The future will be what was before.

Their focus on international conflicts only ignores the living apocalypse for people of color under the domestic warfare of white supremacy-

We should refuse appeals to the "official" white reality—conventional risk calculus relies on the false assumptions of "color neutrality"

Mills 97 – Associate Prof of Philosophy @ U Illinois, Chicago (Charles-; The Racial Contract)
The Racial Contract has always been recognized by nonwhites as the real determinant of (
AND
, part of the population covered by the moral operator, or not.

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.

Wilderson 10 /Frank Wilderson, Red, White, and Black: Cinema and the Structure of US Antagonisms/
Due to the presence of prior existing relations within a world of contemporaries, no

being, and is positioned, by an a priori violence of genocide. 

Emancipatory discourses are white flights of fancy on the vehicle of black fungibility; blackness prefigures modernity which means blackness is a prior question.

Wilderson 10 /Frank B., Red, White, and Black 20-21/
Again, what is important for us to glean from these historians is that the
AND
symbiosis between the political ontology of Humanity and the social death of Blacks.

There is no progress from the slave; freedom is an illusion created by the shackles of civil society – we must burn the 1ac to the ground.

Farley 5 /Anthony, "Perfecting Slavery", http://lawdigitalcommons.bc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1028andcontext=lsfp/
What is to be done? Two hundred years ago, when the slaves in
AND
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.

Wilderson 10 /Frank B., The Prison Slave as Hegemony's (Silent) Scandal, April 13^th, 2002/
Civil society is not a terrain intended for the Black subject. It is coded

via reform or reparation), but must nonetheless be pursued to the death.

Obscuring the position of blackness institutionalizes the impossibility of black liberation – every other starting point feeds white supremacy

Sexton 10 (Jared, Director, African American Studies School of Humanities @ UC Irvine, "People-of-Color-Blindness:  Notes on the Afterlife of Slavery" Social Text 28.2 Duke University Press)
The upshot of this predicament is that obscuring the structural position of the category of
AND
it no doubt would entail nothing less momentous than yet another revolution.78

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.

Sexton 10 /Jared Sexton 'The Curtain of the Sky': An Introduction 2010 Critical Sociology/
The disqualification of black resistance by the logic of racial slavery is not unrelated to
AND
predicament of freedom: there is no such thing as a fugitive slave.

The aff's use of civil suits focuses on punishing individual perpetrators of violence, the police – this obscures the endemic violence of the police institution, which is the real problem

practice" investigation through consent agreements that relied on "experimentalist regulation."61

The aff assumes the police violence can be addressed by bringing it under the control of law – in fact, the law is the apparatus legitimating police violence. Civil suits only identify "operational errors" committed by the police, fail to convict police, and excuse and reinforce the violence of the policing apparatus itself.

The courts fail at their sole purpose – judicial review is flawed when applied to the American bureaucratic model

Legal solutions to political problems cause externalization of agency—-rule of law removes individual responsibility

Grounding policy decisions in ideas of morality re-entrenches societal hierarchies and eliminates any acts of dissent. Using morals as justification for laws is just a way to lie to the public

The dominant account of the role of ethics in international relations is that it is

Ethical arguments for the state are inherently coercive and justify legal structures. These arguments result in submission and exclusionary practices.
