Minorities ruining college debate tournaments

Many of their arguments, based on personal memoir and rap music, completely ignored the stated resolution, and instead asserted that the framework of collegiate debate has historically privileged straight, white, middle-class students.

Actually when I was in high school debate some years ago, a school from the inner city was running cases that basically said that the judge should automatically vote for them because they're black.

High school debate now often has a separate section called "champ" where people can run performative/parody arguments all they want and leave the actual debating to people who want to debate.

High level college debates were already kind of a joke:

It's all about talking as fast as possible with intermittent spasms for good measure.

Sigh....

By the way, it's really not just minority students who pull shenanigans in debate. People hijack the event for causes other than race.

I guess we can see where the next batch of tweb trolls is going to come from.

Those kids are going to have some pretty tough acts to follow, as mulattos can do this as well or better than black people:

This part of the article was a laugh, though:

Indeed, to prevail using the new approach, students

Those who succeed most wildly in law and business in the present age, or indeed in a whole lot of other ages, really aren't necessarily those who specialize in gathering quotes, presenting impartial arguments, or being non-confrontational in presentation. Those skills may make a good secretary to someone who actually does the necessary work, but i suppose this is what happens when you let women take over colleges.

We have special re-education camps for heretics like you!

As to the rest of the article, Porter says it way better than I could:

Of course to most whites all of this will seem tragic and absurd. A once cherished institution used to prepare young minds for adulthood, now a tool of Afro fantasy whoring. And, of course, you pay the bill. As whites are shunted aside, their societal magic evaporates as the mist.

Though from the perspective of these Africans-in-America, it is not preparatory work without utility. For when so much of black wealth, black health, and simple black eating is contingent on preferences and transfers from whitey, the wee blacklings are far better served mastering the mechanisms of extracting these concessions than in muddling through differential equations. Math will probably not provide Goofname with a lifestyle to which he would like to grow accustomed; mau mauing whitey demonstrably will.

And so they educate their young according to their own temperament, abilities, and return on investment. Do we expect anything different with our money?

Reminds me, I need to ask Mickiel what his Goof name is.

It's the most straightforward mode of black argument: society ain't black enuff!

war powers should not be waged against niggas.

This girl is basically playing media mulatto C-3PO, sort of like Piers Morgan played for Rachel Jeantel.

"EDITED BY A MODERATOR

"His high exaltedness the great Jabba the Hutt would request that you refrain from traditional judgments of debate performativity in our use of authentic colloquialisms and consider checking your privilege."

Then again, the media has been playing this game with America far more artfully ever since the Civil Rights era. All you're seeing now is what happens when the role of C-3PO is played by someone a little too honest for the game of deceptive diplomacy.
