Public policy is always constructed in opposition to people of color – at this point the racism generated is invisible and more entrenched.

But potentially more … about how we might combat it.
Black communities often do not benefit from the production of nuclear power, and if they do only in the construction of the plant itself. However, they are most likely to suffer the most adverse effects nuclear power in regards to sickness and death.
Dixon 2010 (Bruce A. Dixon “Obama’s Georgia Nukes Selectively Penalize Black Communities. Is That Envionmental Racism? Bruce A. Dixon is managing editor of Black Agenda Report http://www.blackagendareport.com/content/obamas-georgia-nukes-selectively-penalize-black-communities-environmental-racism)
The truth is that most … whose side he is on."
Black communities are disproportionately effected from the production of nuclear power, receiving the harms from emissions such as cancer. Yet, communities are forced into a dualism where power plants are able to maintain and leverage power against those same communities. This duality keeps black communities at the hands of power plant corporations. Only action from elsewhere can force plants to change.

Thus the Plan Text: The United States federal government ought to prohibit the production of nuclear power.
Black bodies are fungible to us – we energize our lives while not noticing the horrible effects of nuclear power from the urban communities most of their plants inhabit.

Environmental racism occurs when … be normal, that can’t be right.
It is try or die for the affirmative – effects on actual people that are always ignored because they are the out-group – leads to the idea of nuclear power being more important than their lives because it is productive or good for the rest of the environment.

Thus racial identity is not … abolition of gender distinctions, etc.
This stems from what DuBois calls a veil of double consciousness and provides a framework for understanding how policies shape and code particular locations. It is the fundamental structuring force by which race and racism can be analyzed.
Thus the Role of the Ballot is to vote for the debater who best negotiates the dialectics of the veil of double consciousness. Our ban on nuclear production stems from a critical analysis of how environmental policies formulate a new racism that is the basis for the modern formulation of the veil.
