The Resolution is inherently unethical, even its renewable sustainable liberal impulses are unethical because it always already disavows the lost lives that are the condition of possibility for resolutional actors and action to exist. But the community doesn’t give two shits about these lives, about the Black trash that validates white existence because Blacks are never part of the community’s decision calculus on any resolutional question.

In order for Justice to exist Justice has to mean more than Just-us. The world must be held accountable for its sins. Civil freedom is a pre-condition for natural freedom with the natural world, the industrialized landscape that is destroying the planet would not be possible were it not for modernity’s clearing of the land and the Anti-Black energy production pushed onto the Black transatlantic Slave. In order to reclaim the Earths integrity the land and space that we physically occupy must be liberated. Only liberating the landscape shaped by slavery and displacement can bring about true Justice and radical accountability.

AYO what’s that shit?

Wilderson 10 (p9-10, Red, White, and Black)

The present tense of slavery demands a revolutionary ensemble of questions to be posed to redress the dystopia that black America faces in the future.  The grammar of the settler is what undergirds the speech act of the 1ac, the Settler is laboring to keep its existence vouchsafed and therefore Settler society, Civil society is imagining a future that doesn’t demand that it address the structural antagonisms in place and therefore inevitably crowds out questions of Black/Red suffering and freedom.

Wilderson 10 (p2-5, Red, White, and Black)

You should be skeptical of the projected future of the 1ac because it’s nothing more than a white fantasy document that speculates on the effectiveness of nuclear tech, another sci fi plot to project the future of the slave estate is America. Reject the 1ac’s thought experiment of futurity because it holds capital that distorts and mystifies the paradigm of anti-blackness which effaces the truth of the present
