Countless people like this young man face tremendous pressure to accept a prosecutor's plea offer

, and his lawyer can investigate his case and negotiate a better plea.



The 1AC is a performance of WAKE WORK, the process of thinking about our RELATION TO THE DEAD that allows a process of MOURNING through ritual and provides a PRAXIS for understanding THE HOLD, how it REPEATS IT into the present, and for fostering resistance in THIS SPACE. The ROB is who best performatively and methodologically liberates black people.

Sharpe (Christina, Associate Professor of English at Tufts University and the author of Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subjects, also published by Duke University Press) 2016 (In the Wake: Blackness and Being, Duke University Press, Pg.20-22, C.A.)

The spectacle of the shooting suggests an event out of time,

the dead body as an object that satisfies an illicit desire. Perhaps this is where Dylann Storm Roof stepped in.)

Change cannot happen in a system still rooted in the idea that black lives are fungible – the mourning of the aff is a prerequisite to successful political dialogue and decision making Rankine 2

Perverse juxtapositions structure our relation to the Political. This becomes even more apparent and

Claiming that we must defend solutions because there are no alternatives creates an action/inaction binary that conceals the suffering that so-called solutions cause

Black nihilism is a "demythifying" practice, in the Nietzschean vein, that

Political solutions exist in an unrealized future creating a "trick of time" as black folk are told that it will get better even though it never does. Hoping for a better future conceals evidence of failure

Plea bargaining as an engine of racial stratification and overcrowding in the United States prison system", Rationality and Society 24(2) 131–167) DM

Innocent white defendants have little outside incentive to plea bargain. A white defendant who

It is easy to disparage behavior that runs contrary to the dictates of a bio
