no OLD SKOOL debatin goin on here...
Or do they just knock out the white, “privileged” debaters?
Isn't that just a variation on pounding the table?
"If the glove does not fit, you must acquit!"
Oppressive debate using racial or radical liberal accusations are not a substitute for truth, nor are they an argument based on reason, logic or correctness.
They are only tactics which force right-thinking people to just wish this crap was over so they could go home and be away from the rabble.
IOW, they dilute and diminish the prestige of true debate.
Typical Debate.
“Socialized healthcare is not economically feasible.”
“You’re only saying that because you’re a racist.”
You will if you live long enough.
Rules are white.
I can’t stand reading this, but the answer would seem pretty obvious. The black debaters will argue for black privilege, the white debaters will argue for black privileges, and an occasional Asian debater might say, “May the best man win!”
Or, I suppose, “May the best person win!”
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.”
White privilege is real:
You’ll never be called an Oreo or an Uncle Tom.
You’ll never be called a race traitor for voting for someone from a different race.
A college will never assume based on your race that you can’t meet the normal standards.
AKA "dumbing down."
Uh huh. I'd bet big money that these "challenges" are specifically known as ad hominem, false choice, tu quoque, red herring, begging the question, guilt by association, etc.
The Ghettoization of the public square.
Why would a white kid go to college in the US?
On March 24, 2014 at the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) Championships at Indiana University, two Towson University students, Ameena Ruffin and Korey Johnson, became the first African-American women to win a national college debate tournament, for which the resolution asked whether the U.S. president’s war powers should be restricted. Rather than address the resolution straight on, Ruffin and Johnson, along with other teams of African-Americans, attacked its premise. The more pressing issue, they argued, is how the U.S. government is at war with poor black communities.What the heck?
In the final round, Ruffin and Johnson squared off against Rashid Campbell and George Lee from the University of Oklahoma, two highly accomplished African-American debaters with distinctive dreadlocks and dashikis. Over four hours, the two teams engaged in a heated discussion of concepts like “nigga authenticity” and performed hip-hop and spoken-word poetry in the traditional timed format. At one point during Lee’s rebuttal, the clock ran out but he refused to yield the floor. “F*** the time!” he yelled.
Debate?
