The practice of slavery disconnected the Black body and they became objects that worked and through the hundreds of years of slavery, were disconnected from their culture, even losing their names.

"Slavery had an ... they have created."
Modern civil society is based on anti-blackness and uses it as a way of builds upon the flesh of Black citizens through gratuitous violence.

"The black American ... dance with death."
Thus, my advocacy: Black Americans make an impossible demand for reparations for slavery. This is the only way the Black body can cause catastrophe in civil society. The damage has been done and there is no way to repair it. The movement is a movement toward the end of the world.

"Reparations suggests a ... to a cure."
AND: The impossible demand guarantees destruction.

"The same scene ... and cultures possible."
The role of the ballot and the standard is to embrace the disorder of the Black body and combat anti-Blackness solely through the destruction of civil society.
A. Specificity: The resolution questions what justice demands in the face of Black Americans, but begs the question of the existence of justice or an ethical standing in the face of the Black body within civil society. The government is deemed a powerful, governing body, but cannot become an ethical one in an anti-Black society. Thus, the way to have “justice” is to bring down civil society.

"Soon it will ... a revolutionary zeitgeist."
B. Pre-fiat: Impacts specific to reducing the effects of racism opens up space to use academic debate as a forum to discuss ways to deconstruct racism and its effects. Contesting the framework prioritizes other issues ahead of racism. Combating racism in our academic discourse is key to deconstruct racism in the real world.

"The debate community ... the broader society."
AND: In round activism against oppressive issues is the biggest impact in debate. Empirics prove that it allows the debate space to function as a training ground for debaters to go into real world to implement actual productive change.

"I think the ... now has students"
The judge is in a position of an educator and has a duty to allow the students to engage in a critical pedagogy that criticizes totalizing structures of society. Giroux Giroux, Henry; “Dangerous Pedagogy in the Age of Casino Capitalism and Religious Fundamentalism;” (February 29th, 2012); Truthout; http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/6954:dangerous-pedagogy-in-the-age-of-casino-capitalism-and-religious-fundamentalism
"The question of ... a public good."
C. Normative: Limitations to human rationality and the variability of to human value mean all ethics will concede that there is value in moral dialogue. Oppression arbitrarily restricts voices thus oppression comes first under any moral theory.

"Our view of ... and culturally different."
Anti-blackness causes all ethics to collapse on an ontological level, meaning combatting anti-Blackness comes first. Wilderson 5 Wilderson, Frank, B; “Introduction: Unspeakable Ethics, Red, White, and Black, Structure of U.S. Antagonisms” (2003) Award winning author of Incognero, Print, pg. 15-16
"Two tensions are ... eyes of Humanity."
Moreover, traditional ethics fail to recognize the problem of anti-Blackness. Only an anti-ethical approach with disorder is a way to have true ethical deliberation. Curry Dr. Tommy; “In the Fiat of Dreams: The Delusional Allure of Hope, the Reality of Anti-Black Violence and the Demands of the Anti-Ethical”
"Traditionally we have ... onto immoral entities."
The only way to combat the ontological death of the Black body is through embracing disorder and destroying civil society. All social coalitions fail.

"Black liberation, as ... to the death."
