Alienation 1AC
[Play the Third World by Immortal Technique]

I’m from where they overthrow democratic leaders

Not for the people but for the Wall Street Journal Readers

From where Blacks, Indigenous peoples, and Asians

Were once slaves of the Caucasians

And it’s amazing how they trained ‘em to be racist against themselves

In the place they was raised in

You kept us caged in

Destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us

Raped our women and when we were born you despised us

Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us

And crucified every revolutionary messiah

So I’m start a global riot

That not even your fake anti-communist dictators can keep quiet!

Dr. Quijano is a distinguished intellectual in the Social Sciences, who has held several positions as a visiting professor at universities worldwide]

With the conquest of the societies...... non-European cultures could hardly exist today and, above all, reproduce itself outside of these relations.


 * THE EUROCENTRIC VISION IS BASED ON TWO PRINCIPAL FOUNDING MYTHS: FIRST, THE IDEA OF THE HISTORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION AS A TRAJECTORY THAT DEPARTED FROM A STATE OF NATURE AND CULMINATED IN EUROPE; SECOND, A VIEW OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUROPE AND NON EUROPEANS AS NATURAL (RACIAL) DIFFERENCES AND NOT CONSEQUENCES OF A HISTORY OF POWER. BOTH MYTHS CAN BE EQUIVOCALLY RECOGNIZED IN THE FOUNDATIONS OF EVOLUTIONISM AND DUALISM, TWO OF THE NUCLEAR ELEMENTS OF EUROCENTRISM.**

Mills 97(Charles W., Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Illinois, Chicago, “The Racial Contract”)

This norming is, of course, also manifested ..... the civilizing mission as yet incomplete.


 * THE RATIONALIZATION AND NORMING OF SPACE DEPUTIZES THE BENIFICIARIES OF WHITENESS WETHER CONSCIOUS OR NOT, LEADINNG TO THE MAGNETIZATION OF BULLETS FOR THE SUBJECTS OF WHITE SUPREMACY LEADING TO ENDLESS MURDER AND SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR THROUGH THE MATRIX OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE COHERENCE OF WHITE CIVIL SOCIETY.**

Wilderson, 10(Frank B, Associate Professor of African American Studies and Drama at the University of California, Irvine, Red, White, & Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms, C.A.)

It makes no difference in the United States ......they are the police.


 * Advocacy:**


 * Thus, in the essence of Latin American revolutions, Lat-crit, and Queer Latinidad Charles and I affirm the topic as a metaphor by going beyond the mesosphere of current knowledge production through an affirmation of the Latin American Novel as the alienated paradoxical approach that dismantles Western Modernity’s need to “explore” and “develop”**

THE ROLE OF THE BALLOT IS AN AFFIRMATION OF WHO PERFORMS THE BEST ANTAGONISM TO WESTERN MODERNITY IN ORDER TO LIBERATE THE OPPRESSED.


 * THE LATIN AMERICAN NOVEL REPRESENTS THE PARADOX, IRONY, AND ALIENATION THAT CONSTITUTES THE FUNDAMENTAL OTHER OUTSIDE OF THE MESOSPHERE OF WESTERN MODERNITY. THE GENEAOLOGY OF LATIN AMERICA HAS BEEN LOST DUE TO THE MODERN DEMAND FOR ECONOMIC, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND PHILOSOPHICAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS HAS LED TO THE DOMINATION OF THE LATIN ALIENS THROUGH ECONOMIC, SEXUAL, AND COLONIAL EXPLOITATION. THIS NOVEL OF STRUGGLE ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON THE PRODUCTION OF A NEW COGNITION THAT DISMANTLES THE IDEOLOGY OF THE WEST.**

Rafael Perez-Torres 2007, (“Ethnicity, Ethics, and Latino Aesthetics” Ph.D. Stanford Univ., Chicano Cultural Studies and Literature; Contemporary American Literature; Postmodern Theory and Culture.)

On the other side, the novel is born in a..... Chicano and Latino writers call on and supplement the artistic forms of modernity in order to imagine not salvation, but resistance.


 * WE ADVOCATE A THREE TIER METHODOLOGY WHICH SERVES AS TOOLS IN WHICH ACTIVISTS CAN CREATE CHANGE. OUR METHODOLOGY ALLOWS FOR A SPILLOVER INTO OTHER DISCURSIVE SPACES AND CREATE AN OVERALL CHANGE.**

Maria Rodriguez, 03(Juana, Assistant Professor of English at Bryn Mawr College, “Queer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces”, C.A.)

Discursive spaces are not autonomous; they are ........ the language of academia itself.


 * THE USE OF OUR POWER WITHIN THE DEBATE SPACE ALLOWS US TO CREATE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS FOR UNDERSTANDING ISSUES SUCH AS RACISM, PATRIARCHY, AND CAPITALISM. WE REPRESENT THE BEGINNING OF GRASSROOTS PEDAGOGIES THAT SERVE TO CREATE A FUNCTIONAL SHIFT IN POLITICAL PARADIGM.**

Quiroz-Martinez 10{Julie- Senior Fellow, Movement Strategy Center, former Akonadi Senior Program Consultant FROM THE ROOTS: Building the Power of Communities of Color to Challenge Structural Racism January 2010 {akonadi.org/document/download/607}

Good work...... need to go to local-to-national work using an explicit structural racism analysis.

Abolition 1AC
The Martyr Album-Young Lords by Immortal Technique [Immortal Tech verse 4] [3:56-4:55] It’s hard to reach, Communist Utopia tomorrow

When your hands are in a fucking glass jar like Che Guevara

Forget the distorted historical facts you were given

Slave trade was the capital for Capitalism

Trapped in a prison mentally, dying existentially

Separated from people you can’t see yourself to be

Then racially integrated into a burning house colony

Of an empire, economically burning out

Can’t win a debate, so they sponsor every threat to me

I wonder if Agent 800 is standing next to me [Outro by Panama Alba] In Puerto Rico, the main problem we have es que somos colonia (is that we are a colony) we are fighting for freedom, because we will not be a slave nation forever.The struggle here is to make universities, the struggle here is in the community, it’s against the police and violence, it’s against discrimination, it’s against the crimes against humanity on this beautiful Caribbean Island


 * THIS YEARS RESOLUTION CONFRONTS US WITH THE IDEA OF THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE, GOING INTO THE UNKNOWN LANDS IN ORDER TO MAKE A PROFIT, TO GAIN A BETTER HEGEMONIC STANDING AS A NATION. THIS OBSSESSION WITH HEGEMONY AND NUCLEAR WAR SCENARIOS CROWDS OUT THE A-PRIORI QUESTION OF THE BIRTH OF AMERICA, HOW ANY OF THIS GOT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE PINPOINTS OUR NATIONS ORIGINS WHEN HE RHYMES ABOUT THE MIDDLE PASSAGE AND HOW WESTERN METAPHYSICS ENDORSED THE SLAVE TRADE FOR A PROFIT AND MENTALLY COLONIZED PEOPLE OF COLOR AND CALLED US SAVAGES AND SLAVES. HE EXPLAINS THAT HIS OWN LATINO ROOTS ONLY EXIST AS A PRODUCT OF THE ANTAGONISMS OF THE WESTERN WORLD. WILDERSON EXPLAINS THAT THESE ANTAGONISMS OF MASTER/SLAVE AND SETTLER/SAVAGE CONTINUE TODAY WITHIN THE EPITOME OF OUR POLITICAL THOUGHT. THESE SAME ANTAGONISMS WHICH GAVE BIRTH TO THE LATINO AND ENDORSES OUR COLONIAL ENDEAVOURS TODAY CONTINUES TO OPPRESS US EVERYDAY. THE WOLRD ITSELF MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS ACTIONS, WE MUST CALL FOR THE END OF AMERICA ITSELF IN ORDER TO END WESTERN METAPHYSICS AND EMPOWER PEOPLE OF COLOR.**

Wilderson, 10(Frank B, Associate Professor of African American Studies and Drama at the University of California, Irvine, Red, White, & Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms, C.A.)

When I was a young student at Columbia University........ Those fourteen words not only render the speaker “crazy” but become themselves impossible to imagine.


 * THIS RHETORIC OF SPACE EXPLORATION IS THE SAME MANIFESTATION OF EUROCENTRIC COGNITION THAT RATIONALIZES AND CONQUERS SPACE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE. JUSTAS COLUMBUS AND THE CONQUISTADORS TRIED TO CIVILIZE THE SAVAGE NATIVES IS THE SAME WAY WE TRY TO BRING SPACE AND ITS ENVIRONMENT INTO COGNITION. THIS GAVE BIRTH TO THE SETTLER/SAVAGE ANTAGONISM WHICH LEAD TO THE ECONOMIC, SEXUAL, AND RACIAL EXPLOITATION OF THE NATIVES. THIS FORM OF TRANSFORMATION IS WHAT LED TO THE BIRTH OF LATINOS THEMSELVES. LATINOS REPRESENT THE PRODUCTS OF THIS ANTAGONISM AND REPRESENT THE BLOOD AND SWEAT THAT GAVE WAY TO AMERICA AND WESTERN METAPHYSICS ITSELF.**

Mills 97(Charles W., Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Illinois, Chicago, “The Racial Contract”)

Consider the extended body of Leviathan......the white polis is demonstrated both in its self-conception and in its actual topography.


 * THE RATIONALIZATION AND NORMING OF SPACE DEPUTIZES THE BENIFICIARIES OF WHITENESS WHETHER CONSCIOUS OR NOT, LEADING TO THE MAGNETIZATION OF BULLETS FOR THE SUBJECTS OF WHITE SUPREMACY LEADING TO ENDLESS MURDER AND SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR THROUGH THE MATRIX OF VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE COHERENCE OF WHITE CIVIL SOCIETY.**

Wilderson, 10(Frank B, Associate Professor of African American Studies and Drama at the University of California, Irvine, Red, White, & Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms, C.A.)

It makes no difference in the United States....... they are the police.


 * Thus Charles and I affirm the topic as a metaphor:**


 * We call for the end of Western Metaphysics through an exploration of how this metaphorical space of America was rationalized and brought into European cognition. We begin this exploration through a lens of Latinidad in order to understand the totality of the Middle Passage and the lasting effects of European colonialism, empowering us to begin to deconstruct the antagonisms of Master/Slave and Settler/Savage. We represent the beginning of Hostile Abolitionist politics in which we can organize into grassroots pedagogies and be the starting point for revolutionary thought and action.**

THE ROLE OF THE BALLOT IS WHO PERFORMS THE BEST ANTAGONISM TO WESTERN METAPHYSICS.


 * OUR LENS OF LATINIDAD IS KEY TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ANTAGONISMS OF WESTERN METAPHYSICS. IN MOST DISCUSSIONS OF THE MIDDLE PASSAGE WE THINK OF NORTH AMERICA BUT EXCLUDE THE KEY DISCUSSION OF THE COLONIAL LEGACY OF SOUTH AMERICA AND HOW IT REVEALS HOW THE SYSTEM INTERSECTS. OUR AFFIRMATIVE ALLOWS US TO SHED A MUCH LONGER NARRATIVE ON THE TOTALITY OF THE SYSTEM AND HOW IT GAVE BIRTH TO LATINOS AND WHAT WE NOW KNOW AS LATINO AMERICA.**

Maria Rodriguez, 03(Juana, Assistant Professor of English at Bryn Mawr College, “Queer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces”, C.A.) Within Caribbean context the anomalies .....colonial geographic imaginings.


 * WE MUST LOOK TO RADICAL ABOLITIONIST POLITICS IN WHICH WE CAN USE VIOLENT METHODS TO END THE WHITE LIFE WHICH PROMISED US EQUALITY WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY KILLING PEOPLE OF COLOR. THIS SORT OF REBELLING IS THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE AS IT ALLOWS US TO REVEAL THE SOCIAL STRUCTURES PUT IN PLACE BY THE SYSTEM. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF WE DIE IN THE PROCESS, BECAUSE WE ALREADY LIVE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF DOMESTIC WRFARE AND REPRESENT THE ABSENCE OF LIFE THROUGH THE ANTAGONISMS OF AMERICA – ITS TRY OR DIE.**

Rodriguez, 10 (Dylan, Professor of Ethnic Studies UC Riverside, “White Reconstruction and Slavery’s Present Tense: Retelling the Social Logic of White Supremacist Genocide”, C.A.)

Of course, these are only partial glimpses.....the very time that it promises to consummate our humanity.


 * OUR POLITICAL STRATEGY UNDERMINES THE DOMINANCE OF THE SYSTEM. OUR PERFORMANCE IS NOT CONFINED TO THE STAGE OF THE DEBATE ROOM BUT SPILLS OVER TO OTHER DISCURSIVE SPACES THROUGH A CONNECTION OF DAILY EXPERIENCE TO THE LANGUAGE OF ACADEMIA.**

Johnson Patrick E. 2006, Professor of African American Studies and Performance studies at Northwestern UNiversity, “Quare Studies, or (almost) Everything I Know about Queer Studies I learned from my Grandmother” in Black Queer Studies: A Critical Anthology”

Taken together, performance and quare theories........ “politically necessary and politically dangerous.

Dr. Quijano is a distinguished intellectual in the Social Sciences, who has held several positions as a visiting professor at universities worldwide]

With the conquest of the societies and the cultures...... cultures could hardly exist today and, above all, reproduce itself outside of these relations


 * We live in a nation of White polity, one that seeks to rationalize lands in which White spaces invade NON-White ones, conquer them, and discursively remap and control the Space and its inhabitants. This nation has roots in the Age of Exploration and Discovery when Columbus and the Conquistadors, conquered, murdered and raped the Natives creating the Latin American. The genealogy of exploring SPACE is intertwined with theories of Western Metaphysics and RACE.**

Mills 97(Charles W., Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Illinois, Chicago, “The Racial Contract”)

Consider the extended body of Leviathan.......of the white polis is demonstrated both in its self-conception and in its actual topography. The White polity’s rationalization takes place spatially but also on a linguistic level.


 * Countries like Puerto Rico continually get dominated by the imposition of US ideals and the English language. The practice of US colonization of unknown lands or spaces creates this assimilation and cultural domination of people of color such as Latin Americans and their language.**

Maria Rodriguez, 03(Juana, Assistant Professor of English at Bryn Mawr College, “Queer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces”, C.A.)

This des-tierro is also evident on.........linguistic positionality brought about through displacement.


 * This form of assimilation and rationalization creates institutional violence in order to bring the alien body, the cultures outside of the White identity, into its “human” rational cognition.**

Dylan Rodríguez – Professor at University of California- Riverside- 2010 [The Terms of Engagement: Warfare, White Locality, and Abolition- online- sage- http://crs.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/36/1/151]

Further, this logic of multiculturalist white supremacist......that is fundamentally inseparable from white supremacist nation-building.


 * Thus, through a lens of Latinidad and LatCrit, Charles and I affirm the topic as a metaphor:**


 * Charles and I advocate an exploration beyond the current knowledge production within the debate space and America itself. We begin with a genealogical interrogation of the Latin American Novel and the Spanish language as a way to connect the birth of Western Metaphysics and its rationalization of spaces and cultures in the past and the present.**

AND

The Role of the Ballot is who best deconstructs Western Metaphysics


 * Our lens of Latinidad is key to fully understand Western Metaphysics. The discussion of the colonial legacy of South America is key to reveal how the system intersects in order to sustain itself. Our affirmative allows us to shed a much longer narrative on the totality of the system and how it gave birth to Latinos and what we know as Latin America.**

Maria Rodriguez, 03(Juana, Assistant Professor of English at Bryn Mawr College, “Queer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces”, C.A.) Within Caribbean context the anomalie........ of multilingualism, transnational migration, and colonial geographic imaginings.


 * The Latin American Novel was born out of Western Modernity and the exploitation of this system economically, sexually, and racially. It constitutes an Alien paradox to the civil polity of the West which seeks to create a revolutionary deconstruction of this system. A focus on the Latin American Novel is key to the production of a new cognition or ideology beyond our current knowledge production.**

Rafael Perez-Torres 2007, (“Ethnicity, Ethics, and Latino Aesthetics” Ph.D. Stanford Univ., Chicano Cultural Studies and Literature; Contemporary American Literature; Postmodern Theory and Culture.)

On the other side, the novel is born in an age.....to imagine not salvation, but resistance.

The interrogation of the Spanish language is key to highlight the relationship between language and colonialism. It allows us to understand how domination through the rationalization of spaces leads to the assimilation of cultures outside the White Civil Polity. This interrogation also reveals the academic imperialism which creates homogenized discourse.

Gustavo Verdesio, “Colonialism Now and Then” 2001 [Colonial Studies, Native American Studies, Pre-Contact Indigenous Societies, Material Culture, Popular Culture, Theory Ph.D. Northwestern University, 1992]

Among the many differences that could be found ....... social situations that are the foundation and beginnings of our present.


 * We advocate a three tier methodology which serves as tools in which activists can create change. Our methodology allows for a spill over into other discursive spaces and creates an overall change in political paradigm.**

Latinidad CP

 * CP Text: The United States Federal Government Should NOT increase its exploration and/or development beyond the Earth’s mesosphere, and instead engage in the a-priori discussion of American colonialism thru a lens of Latinidad.**


 * Exploring or developing space only re-entrenches us in the idea of bringing unknown Spaces into European cognition, and taking it from its State of Nature into a good civil space of White Polity. This system of rationalizing these lands only continues the antagonism of the Settler/Savage, in which White spaces invade nonwhite ones, conquer them, and discursively remap and control the Space and its inhabitants. This reminds us of how Columbus and the Conquistadors, conquered, murdered and raped the Natives in the name of Discovery. The Latin American represents the remaining effects from 1492 and on, in which we were birthed from the raping of our Native Ancestors.**
