19th century scholars fretted that Egypt’s very existence empirically denied the racist society they enjoyed living in, so they worked backwards from the conclusion that Black is Whack and White must be Right – and thus Niggerology became a foundational discipline justifying America.

For this reason the major emphasis ….the con¬test must be abandoned.” 

Instead, our focus should be on HOW Egypt has been a contested category American racial politics and WHY that matters for what we perceive as Democracy.

Despite its methodological difficulties…. then as it is now. 

Either way you put it, the REFUSAL to discuss the legacy of slavery or the AMNESIA that has occurred within the formulation of this resolution continues to impoverish our scholarship.

            Zizek goes aff – this moment in history allows us to analyze power

            Only when we interject the slave narrative can we succeed

            Anti-blackness bad

            We must engage knowledge production in order to disrupt civil society

            Concede ethics first – we’re the most ethical

            Sexton definitely goes aff

            Capitalism doesn’t explain why – we must interrogate historicism

K

            Their scholarship links to our aff

            They don’t center blackness – links them to their own Sexton evidence

            Policing of black bodies continues under the K

T

            1AC = impact turn to their interpretation – they try to force us into civil society

            Counter-interp – discussion of topic as opposed to a topical discussion

            Predictability – historically relevant

            They have to defend their scholarship

            NED made by Reagan to infiltrate MENA countries

            SQ conceptualization of assistance is bad

1ar Strategy

Case

            No inversion – white people still have something to remember

            The white body has no relationship back to Africa

            Their ev not in context of anti-blackness

            Slave can’t be racist – racism assumes power and privilege

            Our argument is a criticism of historicism, theorists

            The slave does not have a history

            We must destroy the paradigm as is

            Don’t need a blueprint – plays into the system

T

            We only have to prove assistance for people, not to people

            No clear neg interp – err aff

            No net benefit to their interpretation

            Perm solves their offense

            Our interpretation better – they underlimit topic, ours is a discussion related to the topic and historically relevant

            Only way to test is through our counter-interpretation

K

            We’re not anti-imperialism

            Young goes aff – criticizing the liberal left

            Ontological devastation of being – the slave experience

            They assume a post-colonial subject

            You should be suspect of alt solvency – no ev they can solve anti-blackness

1ac Advantages

Play quote “I am one of the 22 million black victims of the democrats, victims of the republicans, 22 million black victims of Americanism. When I speak I don’t speak of the democrat, republican, or American – I am a victim of America’s so called democracy - …only seen hypocrisy.”

History of egypts role in origin of America has been ignored

19^th century scholars fretted that egypt’s existence denied racist society  so they worked backwards to assert that white must be right

Jacey 9

Egypt represented stumbling block for argument that blacks were inferior – so it was imperative to rationalize Egyptians as Caucasians

Xx 9

Niggerology

It is necessary to look at early Egypt

Focus should be on HOW Egypt has been a conscience for categorizing racial politics in America

Today’s term black doesn’t describe skin color but categorizes oppression

Assimilate Egypt into our political values and traditional notion of blackness

Ignorance of America’s relationship with topic countries- is same ignorance of debate community – built to skirt discussions – focus on policy actions refuses to discuss lexology of slavery and paralyzes our scholarship

Black 7

Scholarship in 1ac produces an object that allows the aff to embrace the slavery narrative

Xx

Cx – young evidence says things like niggerology were invented because in some far land away in Africa there was a black civilization that produced notions of value and democracy and that idea of black civ being able to produce something through wrench in white peoples ability to justify slavery

America’s reaction to a black civ being a civ caused American thinkers to whitewash Egypt

Why cant blacks have ontological authenticity?

            -blackness doesn’t have integrity because it has no cultural referent because there is no connection to Africa – the middle passage means that Africans came out of the ships as a negro

We don’t establish authenticity – we say authenticity or universal black experience is oxymoron

2ac Offense

Industrialization (kazinsky)

No link – not talking about our focus on racial politics or blackness  - we don’t tradeoff with any focus – their privilege of white asshole living in woods is stupid (he is the view from nowhere)

Yancy 95

Wilson 10

Perm do both – accept black body as object and reject understandings of technocracy

Wilson ev is NB to perm – only when we imagine freedom from humanity and life – 1ac explodes barriers by only affirming the unwarranted violence of the object status – key to crush understandings of the world

When we don’t prioritize blackness, it reestablishes and stabilizes squo pushing blacks aside

Just like when niggerologists tried to white wash Egypt out of history

Zupancic (forgetting)

Wolson ev impact turns this –

No link to Egypt – their ev is about Columbus imperialism against native americans

Their ev is about stolen land –

Yancy ev – view from nowhere –

Metaphysical death – Africans got off the boat in middle passage as negros

è Self hatred – well I love myself, a lot. Mmmmmm

Perm forget the negative ever spoke – because it reentrenches white supremacy which we are critiquing

This is just a new form of colorblindness

Both pieces of wolson ev -

Reject them on face for having the privilege to say “forget slavery ever happened”

1ar Strategy

Technology

Using blackness as a metaphor is bad—it makes slaverly analoguous to other oppression and the suffering has no subject

Solutions are not universal—they still ffirm a human subject and not a black object

Their alternative cannot conceptualize freedom for the object

We are not talking about colonialism—its about ontological leveling which is prereq to people being subjects to begin with

Perm solves—our elimination of human siubjectivity means there is elimination of the tech dominance that humanity creates

When state vicitimizes people its bad—is not true in world of perm

Question uniqueness of their scenarios

We are talking about the human race so need to evaluate that before the extinction of humanity

Other K

Forgetting anti blackness is non unique

We white wash the political reality like their alt

Forgetting slavery comes from a postion of privilege

We cannot forget about the object status of the subject

Blacks do not have ontology

Question extinction impacts

We solve for anti blackness

I don’t give a fuck if I make anyone feel guilty for enslaving my ancestors

Reverse racism acannot exist—racism assumes power and predjudice—we say we should be predjudiced

The other k links to this

We don’t recreate racism because oppression doesn’t have an analog—there is no inversion

They cannot go for both—the evidence is saying we shouldn’t be violent

2ar Strategy

Wilson evidence

Alt is not competitive because it does not censor blackness

Impact turn—forgetting increases oppression

Freedom from humanity > freedom from guilt

We play All Black Everything by Lupe Fiasco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuQ9r_JDCxk&feature=related

Lupe Fiasco “ All Black Everything”  00:04 - 1:35

2:18 – 3:00

Total - 2:13

Discussions of democracy in the debate community this year foster anti-Blackness because their assumptive logic will always disavow Blackness; notions of freedom, rights, and participation gain their coherence in contradistinction to the abject muteness of the Black object. As Humanity aspires to freedom, screaming, “give me liberty or give me death”, “we are the 99 percent”, “we won’t be slaves to Mubarak or Ben Ali”, “down with Gadhafi”, it renders illegible the Slave’s grammar of suffering.

Wilderson 2010 [Frank, Associate Professor @ UC Irvine’s Department of Drama and African American Studies, Red, White & Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms, pp. 19-23]

In a rush to ensure the stability and smooth functioning of civic life, the topic and debate community makes debaters support  genocidal anti-black regimes like the NTC in Libya. Lupe Fiasco’s all black everything provides the unique opportunity to theorize using a method of evaluation that doesn’t fit neatly into the palm of American domination.
