Labeling oppression as dehumanization reencribes the species divide and destroys anti-racist and anti-sexist movement

In a hierarchical social order, 

AND

hierarchy that positions animals as lower?

The 1AC’s call for change through the limiting of qualified immunity revolves around an anthropocentric framing of the world which seeks to tackle a symptom- instead of the underlying disease – this ensures the replication of prevailing anthropocentric power relations

For this reason, the various movements against

AND

share with all expressive bodies (p. 80).

The alternative is to engage in a holistic environmental ethic that includes non-human and human entities- transcorporeality
Understanding the world and the self to be coextensive through transcorporeality can inspire a posthuman environmentalism that builds connections through global systems and solves human exceptionalism.

Grotius and Hobbes are sometimes described

within the early modern juridical ordering of war.

The figure of the subhuman is the root of their impacts and is inherent in the lines of legitimate violence and endless war

The criterion is minimizing institutional racism because challenging institutional racism is a prior ethical question— racism violates all conceptions of morality, justice, and what it means to be human.
Albert Memmi 2k, (Professor Emeritus of Sociology @ U of Paris, Naiteire, Racism, Translated by Steve Martinot, p. 163-165. Sorry mate but this was a literal book )

The struggle against racism will

but the stakes are irresistible.

Contention 1 is police misconduct

Statistically, minorities, especially Blacks, are targeted disproportionately and
more violently than Whites by the police.

When adjusting for the population where

questionable shootings, The Post reported.

These instances of police violence are not isolated events; there is an institutionalized systemic pattern that unjustly targets Black communities.

These are not isolated incidents in

their officers that are a disgrace to our nation.

Officers are continuously excused under qualified immunity, even when they have directly violated the Constitutional rights of the plaintiff.

When there is not absolute immunity, 

AND

before the Supreme Court changes course?

The qualified immunity doctrine is engineered and enforced so that rights will never be clearly established, always resulting in the officer never being held accountable.
