+Until we re-conceptualize the speech and the speech act, and until judges are comfortable enough to vote down debaters for a performance that perpetuates violence in the debate space, debaters and coaches alike will remain complacent in their privilege. As educators we must begin to shift the paradigm and be comfortable doing this. As a community we should stop looking at ourselves as isolated in a vacuum and recognize that the discourse and knowledge we produce in debate has real implications for how we think when we leave this space. Our performances must be viewed as of the body instead of just by it. As long as we continue to operate in a world where our performances are merely by bodies, we will continue to foster a climate of hostility and violence towards ~~minority~~ students of color, and in turn destroy the transformative potential this community could have. |

+====On Tuesday November 8th 2016, the place I considered home told me that I, along with 11 million other people, don't belong here. I am afraid as a womxn of color and immigrant for my future and what it holds because of Donald Trump. Being a low income Latina immigrant womxn has been difficult. My identity and culture and many others that identify Latinx have been neglected in society, specifically by the police. After his anti-Latinx remarks, Donald Trump was asked to clarify his comments on CNN's "State of the Union". Instead, he decided to call Mexicans "killers," as well. When the Latinx community llora y grita, because it was our community is targeted, because the of what we are. ==== |
