The scholarship of the 1AC silences the voices of black females and contextualizes them as worthless in the discussion of race. This silencing is a strategic tool that further masks white supremacy and dooms any hope of change

 When race and racism are … progressive black females on the Left. 

The exclusion of female authors is a conscious choice that plays into the masculinist narrative

Women have been integral to … Hip Hop's mouthpiece is masculine.

The n word refers only to males in general usage—studies show that it is an expression of survival identity for males specifically.

This form of exclusion is not exceptional to white people, even black males silence the voices of black females because they feel threatened and believe that their contributions are not meaningful

 When race and racism are the topic … theoretical vision and concrete strategy. 

Their demand for the ballot in response to descriptions of suffering is an attempt to commodify the other --- their advocacy may sound empathetic but it fails as a political strategy by comforting the Western observer and reinforcing the status quo.

Your position assumes that the body can be re-signified, however the black body does not operate the same way because its only flesh. Any attempt at re-signification leads to anti blackness because it assumes bodies all operate equally

Interpretation – The Aff must present a concrete strategy for the operationalization of their advocacy through specific political institution outside of the debate community.

Violation – The affirmative presents an integration of power relations without tying that interrogation to a specific mechanism outside of the debate community. They become the revolutionary hero who limits analysis to one scenario instead of formulating strategy to turn theory into replicatable praxis – their strategy is that of the armchair philosopher
Newton-1971 –Huey P. Newton- Black Capitalism Reanalysed- Huey P. Newton Reader- 227-228
We see then that power … in a desired manner. 

Minority Participation – Adopting a view of power based on philosophical abstraction turns their attempts to engage politics because minorities need to have political analysis that relates to the material conditions they face. They make debate less relevant for people of color
bell hooks 1990, black feminist and author, postmodern blackness
It is sadly ironic …  radical liberation struggle.

Revolutionary education – Contextualizing analysis of oppression around material change is essential to provide political training to make more effective advocates. Ignoring politics only cedes the political to the right which uniquely hurts people of color. We must gain the tools to fight power in the halls of power on our terms
Themba-Nixon  Executive Director of The Praxis Project, a nonprofit organization helping communities use media and policy advocacy to advance their welfare- 2k makani, Changing the rules what public policy means for organizing Colorlines 3.2
In essence, policies … And then we must be committed to making it so. 

Existential ethics – The affirmative interpretation of political change replicates the Eurocentric notion of ethics as a way of thinking, or conceptual ethics, versus ethic as action, or existential ethics.  This means that Western imperialism can be perpetually justified.
Marimba Ani. Yurugu: An African-Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior. March 1994 Pg.329-331
It  has  been part of  ….  i.e.,  the persistence of  European power.

Pragmatism – Their desire to seek a perfect conceptual understanding of power before reengaging the political makes the good the enemy of the perfect, something people of color can’t afford.  Our framework seeks a praxis that avoids utopianism.

War has been declared. War is inevitable in a white supremacist civil society as it attempts to socially liquidate brown and black bodies by strategically placing them as targets of violence through mass incarceration and social inequity. The affirmatives conception of war ignores the bodies on the domestic forefront in an attempt to salvage hegemonic control of civil society by protesting wars abroad.

We are collectively witnessing, … political premises of   these wars. 

The affirmative speaks from a grammar of the master that attempts to strengthen the white supremacist control of civil society while assuming to speak the grammar of redness and blackness

W H E N i W A S a young student …. progressives who "retired" from the struggle.

Their hegemony arguments come from an epistemology of ignorance that frames out structural violence and justifies global imperialism, while masking white supremacy

By concentrating upon the divisions … solidarity to maintain a system of white privilege.  

Their discourse of political inclusion produces violent structural relationships between the slave and the savage. They foreclose any possibility of radical questioning about the idea of ethicality of civil society by structurally adjusting the black body through the “political action” that ceases to be “inclusive” and places the black body upon a psychologically traumatic state of abandonment that forecloses black liberation

(Frank B Wilderson, Assistant Professor of African American Studies and Drama at UC Irvine, “Red, White and Black: Cinema and the Strcuture of US Antagonisms, 5-7/DM)
I have little interest in assailing …. gates of Columbia University awaits an answer.

This form of structural adjustment leads to the social death of the black body. Social death is a condition of living, not just some avoidable impact-how we relate to it is all that matters in this debate  
Wilderson 02
Frank B Wilderson, Assistant professor of African American Studies and Drama at UC Irvine, “The Prison Slave as Hegemony’s (Silent) Scandal-Presented at Imprisoned Intellectuals/DM)
Civil society is not a terrain … of subjects of social death

Thus, the only ethical demand available to the white supremacist civil society is to declare war upon the institution and burn everything down  
Farley 05
(Anthony Farley Professor or Law @ Boston College. “Perfecting Slavery” Jan 2005)
What is to be done… pursue its calling that is not a calling.

This life is not worth living if it is not ethical. Passivity strengthens civil society and is not ethical thus we have to be active and become revolutionary suicides.

Connected to reactionary suicide, …. The reality will be grimmer
