They claim that they solve for the impact of race but the welfare queen further progresses
racism. Removing welfare only creates more racism. Trying to prevent these ideologies
wont change the mindset of the legislation. More racism will just start up again in the
future, masking the one before it. Slavery was solved. Next, Jim Crow was solved.
Segregation by liberal means, etc., more racism will just mask itself from the pass. This
takes out solvency.

Yeah, but ONLY FOR SOLVING IT.
First extend the Thrift 0 card: the use of The before United
States federal government inscribes geopolitical borders and
national identity onto us discursively by establishing the
symbolic authority of government structures and evoking a
mental construction of the State that is totalizing, creating usthem dichotomies. Specifically, youll be extending the last
warrant from Thrift which says that little words carry the MOST
potential to be politically subversive precisely because they go
unnoticed.
Second youll extend our Dikec 2 evidence, which says that the
affs bordered discourse breeds a racist mindset. Geopolitically
forming boundaries has been the justification for historical
racist atrocities like Hitlers final solution, which was based on
an inside-us of pure german people and an outside-them of
pollacks, jews and other queer populations to be
exterminated.

The prison of
racism confines us all, people of color and white people alike. It shackles the victimizers as well
as the victim. The walls forcibly keep people of color and white people separate from each other; in our separate prisons we are all
prevented from achieving the human potential that God intends for us. The limitations imposed on people of color by
poverty, subservience, and powerlessness are cruel, inhumane, and unjust; the effects of
uncontrolled power, privelege, and greed, which are the marks of our white prison, will inevitably destroy us
all. But we have also seen that the walls of racism can be dismantled. We are not condemned to an inexorable fate, but are offered the vision
and the possibility of freedom. Brick by brick, stone by stone, the prison of individual, institutional, and cultural racism can be
destroyed. You and I are urgently called to join the efforts of those who know it is time to tear
down, once and for all, the walls of racism. The danger point of self-destruction seems to be drawing
ever more near. The results of centuries of national and worldwide conquest and colonialism, of
military buildups and violent aggression, of overconsumption and environmental destruction
may be reaching a point of no return. A small and predominately white minority of the global
population derives its power and privileges from the sufferings of the vast majority of peoples of
color. For the sake of the world and ourselves, we dare not allow it to continue.
To study racism is to study walls. We have looked at barriers and fences, restraints and limitations, ghettos and prisons.

The worker is separated from control over, and thus alienated from, his or her work.

Although every culture is inherently utopian in its potentiality, the internal social dynamic through which its symbolic world-view is maintained
as a sacred order has a tendency to transform it into a closed ideological universe (in Karl Mannheim's sense of the ideological; namely, a worldview that promises change while actually reinforcing the status quo) that tends to define human identity in terms advantageous to some and at the

no responsibility toward those in the inferior categories. It is simply a matter of recognizing reality. Those who are the
objects of such definitions find themselves robbed of their humanity. They are defined by and confined to the present horizon of culture and their

Racism is the means by which bourgeois political power, biopower, re-kindles the
fires of war within civil society. Racism normalizes and medicalizes war. Racism makes war the permanent
condition of society, while at the same time masking its weapons of death and torture. As I wrote somewhere else,
racism banalizes genocide by making quotidian the lynching of suspect threats to the health of
the social body. Racism makes the killing of the other, of others, an everyday occurrence by
internalizing and normalizing the war of society against its enemies. To protect society entails we be ready to

1. the net benefit says otherwise. Just because our argument is based off a commonly used
