FIRST IS THE FRAMEWORK:
WE MUST DEMARGINALIZE THE INTERSECTION OF RACE AND SEX.
Crenshaw 89,1
"dominant conceptions of...sources of discrimination"
ANTIBLACK RACISM IN AMERICA PREVENTS THE CREATION OF A FEMINIST OPPOSITIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS WHICH CAN FIGHT FOR MY LIBERATION AND THOSE WORSE OFF THAN MYSELF
Crenshaw 89,2
"Distinct experience of...Black community"
I EXIST IN A POSITION OF OPPOSITIONAL FEMINISM ALREADY. THERE IS SEXISM ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
THEREFORE, I PROPOSE THE ROLE OF THE BALLOT IS TO ENDORSE THE BEST METHODOLOGY PROVIDED FOR ELIMINATING RACIAL OTHERIZATION ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
First is the status quo,
White nationalism on college campuses is real
Gajanan 16,
"Richard Spencer, the...cancel the event"
Therefore, I advocate that Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech.
SECOND, The affirmative endorses ETHICAL SUBJECTVITY i.e if white supremacist men are not going to say racist shit because of "free speech restrictions" that does not do anything to change the fact that they gon keep on using the N-word in their groupchats and calling women prostitutes.
THIS ISN’T JUST IDEALISTIC PHILOSOPHY NONSENSE - IT’S EMPIRICALLY PROVEN THAT RESTRICTIONS OF FREE SPEECH ON COLLEGE CAMPUSEES END UP BEING USED TO PUNISH MINORITIES WHO ENGAGE IN RADICAL DIALOGUE.
Friedersdorf 15,
"Henry Gates, the...behalf of blacks"
THIS DESTROYS OUR ABILITY TO ADDRESS RACIAL OTHERIZATION BECAUSE WHITE PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS DON’T RECOGNIZE THEIR RACIST NATURE ON THEIR OWN.
FURTHERMORE, THE BRITISH EXPERIENCE HISTORICALLY AND EMPIRICALLY PROVES THIS
Malik, 12
"In practice, you...and fought back"
THIS IS WHY RESTRICTING SPEECH MAKES IT WORSE FOR ALL MINORITY GROUPS.
Strossen 90
"censoring racist speech...her ethnic backround"
Alexander 13,
"censorship appears alarmist...violence or discrimination"
