1 - Cap K vs Gender HackingTournament: Valley | Round: 5 | Opponent: MSJ SB | Judge: Spencer Orlowski CAPThe aff ignores the effects of capitalism on identities — sexual identity was marked as less valuable because queer bodies could not reproduce in the same way heterosexual bodies could — we are winning a sequencing argument that should frame how you view the 1ar responsesHennessy 2k AND into the power of more obvious and perhaps more compelling ways of seeing. Sexual rights rely on a neoliberal conception of negative freedom that defines autonomy as consumption independent of state regulation – this precludes an intersectional analysis that can achieve equality and justice better than the AFFs token inclusionMullins 8—Greg, is author of Colonial Affairs: Bowles, Burroughs, and Chester Write Tangier.

They don't get a permutation—a permutation is a test of competitiveness between policy options—that model doesn't make sense when the debate is between amorphous philosophical positions because you can't really tie them down to anything – they have no clear standard for competition which forces the neg to answer the aff while negotiating competitionMutual aid groups help get medicine for eachother | 11/5/21 |
1 - Curry and Curry KTournament: Pres | Round: 4 | Opponent: Mission San Jose SR | Judge: Lukas Krause Academic philosophy is anti-Black – the 1AC’s abstraction from the material consequences of racialized violence absolves white philosophers of their contributions to America’s apathy towards racismTommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass.

Even if they win that their theory is theoretically ideal, it is practically impossible because racialized bodies are marked by their skin color – the psychological construction of Black as inferior makes their impacts inevitableTommy J.

Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND or friends who live within their social environment. Academic philosophy operates similarly. Racism deems Black life disposable and demands racialized violence – we’re not an ad-hom that criticizes the positionality or personal views of their authors – their philosophy is actively used as an expression of white supremacyTommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND that Black philosophers and graduate students share with whites become more worthwhile topics. This turns the aff – America is organized around the subjugation and death of non-white people – discriminatory applications of their policy are inevitable absent a recognition of racialization in the law – their colorblindness is mutually exclusive with the necessary upheaval of the racial dynamics that necessitate inequality.Tommy J. and Gwenetta Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND rely on institutional racism to produce social structures that reward and elevate whites. Instead, the alternative is to affirm Black philosophy as a site to engage in radical theorizations that are a genuine reflection of Black experience – attempts at integration commodifies Black philosophers as extensions of white thinkers which waters down Black philosophy to a form for white philosophers to deem respectable scholarship – a fundamental reorientation of the discipline away from universal reason is key.Tommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND levels of thought is what is at stake in the Black philosophical project. The role of the ballot is to endorse a pedagogical investment of rejecting racism – they have to win that the aff is not racist to engage in the first place – it comes first because it determines academic spaces and is an accessibility magnifierDon’t evaluate the plan if we win a link: colorblindness is the structuring ideological conflict of debate that pervades the performances and behavior of the community | 11/14/21 |
