+The 1ACs intellectualization of free speech to problematize the activism of students ignores the real struggles people of color and other minorities face every day. By immediately criticizing marginalized people for their tactics, you give an easy out to discard discussion of the issues they face. |

+Their complaints of a “liberal bubble” show the real hypocrisy of “progressive writers”, the only time you care about suppression of speech and ignorance of viewpoints is when minorities are protecting themselves from hateful speech, but ignore ongoing suppression of minority speech by the dominant class. Don’t let them go for solvency when the only people they protect are the powerful. |

+Welcome to Victim Blaming 2.0TM, with included self righteousness and claims of moral superiority! The aff’s invocation of free speech is the new trick to avoid ever discussing concrete material claims of racism. The alternative is to end the diversion embodied by the 1AC and confront issues of racism and oppression head on instead of abstracting to higher principles like free speech. Free speech good is non-responsive and just links harder into the K, even if free speech is good, your tactics of using it to deflect real world harms is bad. |

+Claims of “free speech” are just a right wing power grab – speech has never been free but that doesn’t stop dominant power structures from using it to protect repugnant viewpoints while censoring others at the same time |
