1- JF CRT ACTournament: UPS | Round: 4 | Opponent: Santa Monica RE | Judge: Tessie Lamourea Postmodernist critiques question the faith in liberal institutions; the law is reified and seen as a higher entity separate from politics. We must seek a methodology that reconciles the faith in liberal institutions with a criticism of them; a binary fails to recognize the harms of rejecting one for the other. Current identities are defined by the dominant system as “nondominant”; we must embrace a politics of difference by transforming power structures to begin reform toward true equality. Thus, the standard is to engage in jurisprudential reconstruction: the reworking of institutions in order to transform our views on the racialized subject. Generative independence is denied to the black community under the illusion of white protection. Recognition of this paternalism is key to fostering political resistance and reforming our egalitarian conception of rights. Rights are key to empowerment. Thus, we must critique its commodification by the white ideological hegemony that gives the illusion of freedom. Current limitations reflect an unbalanced power dynamic in which whites have control over what speech is allowed; the minority is denied the ability to resist. Analytic The university is uniquely key because of its ability to normalize our political relations; rejecting speech limitations within the university is key to foster an environment that allows for a reconceptualization of the “right to free speech.” The circulation of free speech is the starting point for a non-exploitative rights based framework. It reconfigures rights discourse so that we contest the constructed reality that kills rights. Removing restrictions on free speech is KEY to recognizing the independence of minorities; discourse allows them to reshape their relation to the world and thus empowers them in the liberation struggle. | 1/9/17 |
1- JF CRT AC v2Tournament: USC | Round: 2 | Opponent: Idk | Judge: Idk The state’s rules are reified as neutral and nonpolitical; reorienting them is key. Understanding the intricacies of politics, the state, and the PREREQUISITE to addressing oppression. Thus the Plan Text: Public colleges and universities ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech. Legal reform always excludes people of color; affirm a politics of difference to eradicate racism in the legal system. Thus, the standard is to write back against white institutions; to transform the system’s views on the racialized subject. Collective movements are only used for exclusion: deconstructing whiteness as property is key. Rights are key to empowerment; discarding them leaves no hope. Advantage 1 is disenchantment Only the aff method solves. By recognizing minorities as distinct groups that don’t fall under the umbrella of white protection, we transform the system into something that validates differences. The aff takes a paraontological stance on blackness; affirming difference makes life more livable. Creating a framework to affirm POC voices in the law is key to reclaiming the history of oppression. Legal debates are key to short-term survival of oppressed populations. Whether the law is good or bad, legal education is crucial to empowerment. We don’t want just the end of antiblackness, we want the end of a system in which antiblackness makes sense. a material strategy is key to address the way antagonisms have become interlocking. Underview Allowing open contestation of ideas without restriction leads to social progress—LGBTQ rights, feminism, and abolitionism prove. | 3/4/17 |
