A. Interpretation-
Is this the land of the free or the home of the brave?
More like the land of chains and the home of the slaves
I mean its cool to sing about amber waves of grain
But no one ever mentions the tall trees that sway as strange fruit hang
That’s a damn shame
No one listens no one pays attention to the fact this country sold post cards
With photos of lynching’s not to mention
What happen in Tuskegee I cant believe it
You mean to tell me they legally injected back people with sexual diseases
Jesus
That aint it tho, they justified killing black men for raping white women
But then go, and legally rape black women under the belief they are naturally nymphos
All because of her skin tone
So am I wrong for feeling like fuck them stars and stripes
Cause all it ever brought my people is bars and pipes and AIDS  and guns
So how can I pledge to the flag my life when under the flag
They denied my grandmother her rights 

B. Violation-Nice little freestyle that is randomly chosen, per round, once we figure all of them out we they will be posted 

A) Fairness- Up in first class laugh even tho its not funny
See a white man wonder how the fuck I got money
As he sit in coach hate to see me walk past him
Young black pants sag headphones blasting
Know what he asking how he managed
With all the cards against him he used them to his advantage
Slang we be speaking probably sounding like Spanish
Then I fuck they heads up when a nigga show manners

Then We Read a Hill 97 Card

B)Plan Focus Bad [depends on aff plan]

C) Implementation
I put my heart and soul in this game
Im feeling drained
These norms they created, Jim Crow for debatin
Claiming to save the world as the advantage of they cases
But if the governments to save us whose to save us from the racist
We let them know our history but they refuse to face us
They wanna play policy like policy doesn’t play us

Then a Giroux 2006 card.

D) Education- [See violation]

Then a card by Spanos

E) Policy is Fucked Up
Im here to explain the world needs change
I mean my president is black
But the precedent the same
Whats missing
The chance can be given
To draft a plan and claim that it’s different
But if the hand that holds the pen with which the entire act was written
Could give a damn about its constituents living conditions
When an act is passed to trashed the lives of those mentioned
We asking what happen to they plan being different
From jim crow to the ghetto im like fuck civil rights
Cops take away our rights with red and blue lights and then give us life
Lettem hide behind their platforms and parties , their suits and ties
Our lives are evidence of their lies

Deconstructing Whiteness is the key to ontologically unfreezing any

Non-White Body as the Other or Criminal..

Yancy '04 (George Yancy, Review editor of the American Philosophical

Association Newsletter on Philosophy and the Black Experience)

Whiteness Manifests itself through the use of representations and the

manipulation of those representations to reify a world of "reality"

that will best benefit those who reside on the powerful side of White

supremacy...

The only ethical demand for politics is for the end of America, the

Grammer of the Affirmative fails to reveal the nature of black and red

suffering born out of slavery and genocide. Civil Society is unethical

and foundational to the political conflicts of the 1AC.

Wilderson 2010 (Frank B., Professor of Drama @ UC Irvine- “Red, White,

and Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms” pg. 1-11)

When I was a young student at Columbia University. . .This is a state

of emergency for Indians and Blacks.

Their call for a more energy efficient civil society as the limit

point of our revolutionary demand is structurally parasitic on the

suffering of the slave. The use of sociological-paradigms ignores the

gratuitousness of anti-black violence and it’s libidinal investment to

the political millieu championed by the aff and the violence that

under writes the capacity for reform.

Regarding the Black position. . .The woman at the gates of Columbia

University awaits an answer.

Our Alternative is to reject the affirmative in order to focus on an

unflinching paradigmatic analysis that calls for the END OF AMERICA.

Strange as it may seem. . . is the greatest power of all.

Their will not be any revolutionary change without a direct assault on

America. Death is inevitable, so it is important to affirm

Revolutionary Suicide as a life-affirming ethic.
