1- Black Framework Short Shell
Tournament: Framework | Round: 1 | Opponent: NA | Judge: NA Their ignoring of black people within black geographies only recreates notions of humanism that label certain populations as disposable and not worthy of discussion. This is important to understand because black spaces are directly affected by the violent police culture that exists in our hoods

Tournament: Discloure | Round: 2 | Opponent: NA | Judge: NA The counter ROB: Is to endorse the best liberation strategy for the oppressed. Abstract Ethics Fail. Saying “we ought to engage in something” implies a moral obligation that the black thinker does not have access to because the world is framed by white supremacy. This directly answers they’re ¬¬ evidence at the top of the 1AC. The only reason why they are even trying to understand oppression is so that they can incorporate them into some sort of destructive ethical theory. They’re act is more of one that aims to understand the weak points blacks face not to heal them but to destroy them. Curry Curry, Tommy J. doctor in Associate Professor of Philosophy, Affiliated Professor of Africana Studies, Texas A and M University In the Fiat of Dreams: The Delusional Allure of Hope, the Reality of Anti-Black Violence and the Demands of the Anti-Ethical. 2013. B-Impact 2 – And this abstraction allows us to assume racist entities will somehow act justly rather than looking to how they have historically acted. This is the literal action of the 1AC. Blacks are supposed to believe that the same states that sat at the Berlin Conference and divided Africa like a pizza suddenly care about their lives .

SPHSSS This is a counter-framework to evaluate the round under. If your ethical constrains only to normative conceptions of what “justice” can mean, then you only become a re-entrenchment of placing morality unto immoral entities.

1- Prison Abolish K
Tournament: D1sclosure | Round: 1 | Opponent: NA | Judge: NA The aff presupposes that all black people can pay for lawsuits but even getting to stand in the courtroom is racialized. Turns the case because they can’t even help the people affected Sean Nevins is a Washington DC based staff writer for MintPress focusing on foreign affairs, and the intersection of politics and policy. His work has appeared on Link TV, Inter Press Service, and The Real News Network.12-10-2014, "Justice Is Blind To Those Who Can’t Afford It," MintPress News, http://www.mintpressnews.com/justice-blind-cant-afford/199765/ Empirics prove-White Judges and Juries have racial bias to black people Rachlinski, Jeffrey J.; Johnson, Sheri; Wistrich, Andrew J.; and Guthrie, Chris, "Does Unconscious Racial Bias Affect Trial Judges?" (2009).Cornell Law Faculty Publications.Paper 786. The Prison Industrial Complex is contingent upon black death, the aff reifies it by keeping it alive within their reformist pedagogy by assuming nullification can be used to reform the system. This only perpetuates the ideology that reformism works, the PIC is the best example of this since it has continually been reformed and tailored towards state-sanctioned violence versus the absolute abolishment of it Dylan Rodríguez The Disorientation of the Teaching Act: Abolition as Pedagogical Position Source: The Radical Teacher, No. 88 (summer 2010), pp. 7-19 Alternative- We should engage in prison abolitionist pedagogy, create the knowledge production that is needed to understand that structures that are inherently antiblack should be abolished. Dylan Rodríguez The Disorientation of the Teaching Act: Abolition as Pedagogical Position Source: The Radical Teacher, No. 88 (summer 2010), pp. 7-19 The alt is about pedagogy- it is about this discourse we create within our debate rounds, our argument is the discourse must be centered around abolition and not reforming structures but getting rid of them- The links are the structural analysis of the larger prison industrial complex that the aff believes it can help by nullification, the alt explains how concrete discussions must take as part of a social movement towards understanding how the system is so antiblack, which our links about plea deals and black jurors not being selected confirm, and then the understanding of an absolute abolition of these structures
The roll of the ballot is to vote for the debater who provides the best liberation strategy for the oppressed. The roll of the judge is to be a critical educator invested in abolitionist pedagogy- this type of pedagogy is key anything else distracts us from structures that are systemically contingent upon black-death Dylan Rodríguez The Disorientation of the Teaching Act: Abolition as Pedagogical Position Source: The Radical Teacher, No. 88 (summer 2010), pp. 7-19

1-Wynters K
Tournament: Lexington | Round: 5 | Opponent: NA | Judge: NA There is no hope to deal with the question of “humanity,” the potential of what “humans” should be, should think, and how they should act based on these stances within the anthropology of white European models of thought. Regardless of the “critique,” the white call to action allows Europe the continued power to construct “MAN,” within their own systems of thought. Their position is just another example of a moral plea to white decadent anthropology. Turns case. Syliva Wynter—2006 ( “Interview with Syliva Wynter,ProudFlesh Interview: New Afrikan Journal of Culture, Politics and Consciousness, Issue 4) critical thesis on… does the constructing? II. Social systems of power must be discursively legitimated. The issue is not “what we speak,” but how “what we speak,” perpetuates very specific cultural determinations of how systems work and respond to our discursive appeals. The Negative’s position is not simply about a difference of values about the world, rather this is a difference about how the Aff reifies and naturalizes the structures, systems, and types of knowledge that perpetuate the cultural concepts of white supremacy. Sylvia Wynter—1992 (“Beyond the Categories of the Master Conception: The Counterdoctrine of the Jamesian Poiesis,” in C.L.R. James Caribbean, eds. Paget Henry and Paul Buhle, 63-91) To be effective… discourses are constructed. III. Here’s a Big Ass Impact and another Link to this Theoretical crap: they cannot claim to address much less solve any problems of human existence without addressing Racism first and foremost. This in and of itself misses the anthropological cause of colonial/neo-colonial differences the world over. This is not to say that Racism is in itself of more consequence than other problems, but to say that Racism is the template of modernity used to refuse humanity to other people, to make them different kinds of things that do not deserve humanity.
