What does it mean on an energy topic where debate attempts to find the latest solution to our energy crisis and children cant read the fine print on their bill. Detroit stands as a symbol of industrial wealth and decadence for America's golden years of production. The location of the Fermi Fast Breeder Reactor came as a golden beacon, the new wave of Nuclear technology launching the Western world into a Jetson’s aspired future. The rush to a plan of action assumes we know what we are struggling against, that we have a strong grasp on the issue, but the consensus is wrong there is no vocabulary, no grammar that can allow the question of the resolution to make sense in the larger story of black suffering.

The social polity, and policy framings advanced in this year’s resolution evaluate our environmental issues as purely conservation and preservation; there is a need to increase production to reduce emissions and continue the lifestyle that America has become accustomed to. However, this call to action ignores that there is the complexion for protection in this country and around the world

Most debates will break down into advantage areas that claim US primacy or an intercorporeal exchange with white spaces and a redevelopment of the white macro body.

Putting more energy in the grid doesn’t stop the NRC from accepting more members into their country club of nuclear propaganda; doesn’t stop them from refusing to test the ground water near you. What about the Shell Bluff crisis?  The double bind of burke country residents: they are dying from cancer, and yet cant get any help because the nuclear regulatory commission refuses to do any testing in that area and constantly denies or ignores their requests tot test the ground, their water is slowly disappearing, and nothing to do about it.

If merely brute caprice dooms Sisyphus

To struggle up a never-ending stair.

2AC—-Framework

Your role as a judge and educator is to give up your badge – refuse to police Black thought, the only decision calculus

Ms. Fox’s clear disregard for her students … of state domination of Black subjects.

Agreement on who CAN speak and HOW must precede WHAT we debate about – Equal Ontological Status comes before their appeals to fairness %26 stasis

The violence that produces the subject … doctors are in their own dominion.

Our poetry is that shiznick

Major ’68 ~Clarence, Prof of English @ UC Davis, The New Black Poetry, intro i-ix~
Our poetry is shaped by our … way society is organized, does happen.

The poetry of the 1ac cannot be juxtaposed to the USFG or assumed to be inside of the USFG

Major ’68 ~Clarence, Prof of English @ UC Davis, The New Poetry, intro i-ix~
Black poets here are practically and … our enemy. Such people are obstacles.

Western legality is the primary vehicle of global white supremacy. The only option for those invested in challenging Eurocentric domination is a radical rejection of the law

Nunn 1997 ~Kenneth B., Professor of Law, University of Florida College of Law, "Law as a Eurocentric enterprise," Law and Inequality, 15 Law %26 Ineq. J. 323~
European colonizers dominated the majority peoples … abstract formulations go unaddressed and unresolved.

Their disembodied ~philosophy~ data exists as a view from nowhere, taking a purportedly neutral and invisible vantage point that functions as a technology of whiteness and white authority

Yancy 2005 ~George, associate professor of philosophy at Duquesne University, "Whiteness and the Return of the Black Body," The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, 19.4~
I write out of a personal … "comprehension" of a range of materials.

Dreams of progress through the law are a screen memory that lock in slavery as an uncrossable traumatic horizon by misperceiving the move from slavery to segregation to neo-segregation as something other than the move from white-over-black to white-over-black to white-over-black. Until we recognize the legitimacy and ethical coherence of the law as dead on arrival there is no exit.
Farley 2004 ~Anthony Paul, James Campbell Matthews Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at Albany Law School, "Perfecting Slavery," Loyola University Chicago Law Journal, Vol. 36, No. 1~
Sometimes things go awry. Sometimes a … are dead. Slavery is that death.

As Moten says in his 2010 collection of poems, B Jenkins, "The right to love refusal is black music." ~14~

2AC Framework

Turn – Their framework presumes a static conception of debate that is historically false and educationally bankrupt – 30 years ago CPs couldn’t be topical, 20 years ago the only K that existed was CLS, 10 years ago every team used paper and anyone with a laptop in the round was under suspicion of cheating. Education trumps "fairness" because games are always already changing – the first teams to diverge from the traditional path are not criminals to be punished, they are revolutionary thinkers to be taken seriously

Johnston 2k ~Ian, Research Associate, Malaspina University-College, British Columbia, "There’s Nothing Nietzsche Couldn’t Teach Ya About the Raising of the Wrist" http://www.mala.bc.ca/~~johnstoi/introser/nietzs/htm-http://www.mala.bc.ca/~johnstoi/introser/nietzs/htm~~
The situation is not static of course. Some games have far fewer layers and fans, and the popularity is…
AND
…the rules historically; thus, they have no permanent status and no claim to privileged access.

2AC Pure Music K

Link – Speaking For Brothers: The Aff’s claim to the mantle of anti-Racism within the zero-sum setting of a debate round literally supplants people of color in the name of fighting Racism – Don’t reward them for "cyber activism" when the real damage done is to shut down more meaningful change and coddle the very beneficiaries of a way of life that denies our own lived experience

Osayande ’10 ~Ewuare, political activist, poet, and author of several books including Misogyny and the Emcee: Sex, Race and Hip Hop; co-founder and director of POWER (People Organized Working to Eradicate Racism), a liberatory learning initiative that educates and empowers persons and organizations interested in and involved in anti-racist social justice movements, Dec 22, http://www.peopleofcolororganize.com/analysis/word-wise-unpacking-white-privilege-tim-wise/-http://www.peopleofcolororganize.com/analysis/word-wise-unpacking-white-privilege-tim-wise/~~
One way that whites can be accountable is to stop being enablers to white supremacy by supplanting…
AND
Such "cyber activism" is just another form of white diversion from engaging in actual activist work.

1AR K of "African American"

Vote Aff to reject Georgetown’s use of racist language in this debate round – "African-American" is a term that effaces the alterity of Black people forcibly taken from Africa

Fields 2k ~Darell, Associate Professor of Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Architecture in Black, pp. 27-28~
The same is true but different of the term "American," If one states simply that "I am an American" or is…
AND
…were quite different we were slaves; we did not seek the prosperity of the New World – it sought us.

AT CAP
Debate should be fair enterprise-Duffy 93
Must talk about Burke county in terms of cap
Dixon answers cap
Race analysis is a ruse for domination-Ross 00
Perm-Do both; center Blackness historically in the context of the NRC
The war has occured-Omalade 84
Neg cannot explain how the AFF contributes to cap
Net benefit of the perm is the aff and the inclusion of race w/i method and epistomology
Allows you to see how the Black body has become the excretion of white supremacy
