Fear of Obama
First, criticizing Obama for his drone policy ignores the broader history of white supremacist violence and is complicit in a racist system of privilege that oppresses marginalized communities every single day

And, Racism is the root cause of violence
Foucault 76 (Michel, Society Must be Defended: Lectures at the College de France, 1975-1976, p. 254-257 Trans. David Macey, MV)

What in fact is racism? It is primarily a way of introducing a break into the domain of life that is under power's control:

….except by activating the theme of racism.

Only by speaking out against racism can we hope to eliminate it. Privileging their exaggerated impact scenarios sustains the dominant structures that make institutional racism inevitable

According to this view, we must work to improve racial understanding, end prejudice, and build solid relationships among people of different ethnic backgrounds.

Oppression is the systematic victimization of one group by another.

Disability represents at this moment in time the final frontier of justifiable human inferiority.

The irrational nature  of the feminine is key to solving in the debate sphere. To speak of women through binaries is to reestablish the repression and censorship of the feminine discourse, a reestablishment of the system which aims to destroy, define and exclude all that is feminine. It reaffirms through discourse the feminine as a lack, when in reality discursivity cannot conceive or understand the true value of feminine discourse.
Luce Irigaray 1977 (This Sex Which is Not One, Chapter 4 “The power of discourse and subordination of the feminine”)

Does this retraversal of discourse in order to rediscover a "Feminine" place suppose a certain work on/of language?

Narratives create a cross-cultural dialogue that reveal the concealedness of resistance – the contextualization with Meritt and I’s story is proof of this unique solvency

Even if the affirmative’s criticism of methodology and representation can access the political, it can only do so through compromise- This means that the affirmative cannot succeed on its own – Modern politics is transformative when approached under a political framework

Social movements alone cannot succeed in the realm of the political. Movements that emerge from the bottom up lack articulation in political or policy demands. Without first engaging in politics, movements cannot achieve any effective change.

Their fetishization of narrative strengthens oppression – their desire to ‘get the word out’ affirms a violent ‘free market’ approach to public discourse and short circuits activism

Their assumption that they are the only starting point is to justify acts of violence just like the slaughtering of aboriginals. You must accept a difference of community because through acceptance of difference a resistence to commonality and an embrace of alteraties results.
