Report

Opponent: Kansas Birzer-Campbell | Judge: Eyzaguirre

Kentucky

Opponent: Mary Washington McElhinny-Pacheco | Judge: Green

Notes from Justin GreenPlease recognize this is a flow of what happened NOT what Towson themselves has admittedPerception flowability etc should all be factored into this scouting

Form of the 1ac
- It is an embodied message of the value of strong loud proud and rightfully angry black women about the state of affairs in America and the world
- Extremely poetic and passionate There are no "cards" read If this were a poetry slam the snaps would be thunderous
- In the cross-ex it was revealed that they were using the words of several authors and had them footnoted but not read aloud (Footnotes to the 1ac attached) They provided them immediately upon request
- Several black women are listed who have suffered I was unable to gather the names of allSome of the stories indicated situations of solemness solidarity and support (a 7 year old who dies a mother jailed who shot her abusive husband) others indicate both

Thesismessage obtained about the 1ac (my interpretationsobservations)
- we are the reducers of the war powers of the president that have been shaped by stereotypes of black womenWe do not advocate for a statutory or judicial or USFG action
- War is a very broad concept - it is far beyond nations fighting - war is also poverty racism discrimination violence in the every dayConceptions about war that assume nations fighting ignorecondone violence of the every day against black women
- The 1ac is an act of self-love This self love is critical to stop black women from having self-hatred which prevents them from being effective political agents
- I have no doubt they have made arguments in other debates -

Cross Ex questions and Answers I have flowed
Q What is the sapphire
A (This answer changed from round 1 to round 6 to quarters) It varied from "the image of the strong black woman" to "anyone who resists" to

Q What Presidential war powers do you reduce
A1 We reduce the stereotype of the irrational black female that undergirds all of war powers
A2 We reduce the war powers used by the President against black women

Q What is the role of the ballot
A To vote for the team with the best scholarship
Q Do you think the ballot has any spill-over effects is it symbolic
A It might but we think the judge should vote for the team with the best scholarship "we aren't trying to link to your ballot commodification claims" - vote for us if we have good scholarship - if not - vote against us - we aren't trying to fix debate - this is about us in this debate

2AC vs Baylor CounterGazing Aff

Tournament: Texas | Round: 1 | Opponent: Baylor Barron-Evans | Judge: Taylor
CITES: See Pitt RR (hooks)
Moten 03 IN THE BREAK p14
The value of the sign....possible angle of dispersion

These are notes from 2ac forward.

2AC (Counter-gaze)
1AC is an instance of black thought and theory
Whiteness thinks it can look at us without return the gaze (hooks, 1ac)
Affirm the undecided, we call it undecided black thought
Must be a disavowed UNDERSIDE of thought in this community
The 1ac describes and counter-gazes
in order to exist, must police ourselves, too radical, we must calm down
We are targeted for elimination in this space, saying we violent in this community
Takes on our authority to looks back
Counter-gazing as a method proves we have agency and shows intrinsic value to black thought
Moten 2003 - the value of the sign is only given in speech X
The 1ac affirms value to blackness, affirming the underside of theory moves to a community of freedom and justice where we can affirm our politics from our positions
The SQ not allow us to come in without valuation
The round is a contact zone
Stetson 12 X The dark side of theory, all thought best viewed as black thought, antiblackness is theory
Affirm our specific positions as black scholars
A2 Coughlin: defines us as liberal subjects
Colt X - educating students about black stories left out of trad legal scholarship
The barbour ev - there cannot be a locus on PD without black thought
The 1ac - decided to affirm our advocacy - we are not topical
SB and Freeley - build a wall on Mex - challenge the questions - what it means to engage the topic, cannot have full educ without black theory
The 1AC is a revaluation, we control all the IL to their advantages - we will always be predictable
FW tries to move debate away from debate, the 1ac stops this
MIL RHET - perm, no solve - they did not PF our bodily politics, REAL war comes from the language we apply to our bodies
Gomez 10 x Priv the word, the stable speaker
CONCRETE DEMANDS - those are OK but ballot cannot get them, the 1ac is better BC knowledge PD
Challenges the concrete pol demand of the SQ
Affirm our method which is countergazing

1AR
Debate is a terror space that does violence to our bodies
What can we do in that violent space? We can countergaze
If we introduce and trouble the discussion, endorse black theory and come to terms with our dialogue
Creates a necessary value to our lives
Coughlin auto-biography - able to access certain people - direct calling Caughlin out
separate our ID, do violence to certain bodies
Your link assumes the aff is a wounded attachment and thus ressentiment - NOT THE CASE
Not just who we are but what we want to be
Frosh whining - that is what YOUR evidence is talking about
the UQ question, debate as violent - it is about YOUR safe space for your politics DA
This space cannot survive without access to our blackness
In order to save this community
Must confront blackness on our OWN terms - not extend the framework debate
All of the impacts are non-unique
What we should do with mexican borders - challenging the rhetoric
Cross Apply the contestation and reflexive politics here
The Gunth on militarism - we are taking about war powers - solve the dialogue and DM
Not claim to change the NDT decorum policy in the 1ac
affirming black theory is a constant process
Not impossible to be neg even if FW is not the most strategic choice
No topical version of the aff in the CX
Topical version of the aff, not presented or performed the 1ac
The 1ac is stasis and is PG engagement
NDT Comm Counter-Adv loses to the perm - can also talk to the committee
Their approach does not teach white debaters how to engage with black thought

2AR
Black thought bodies and theory have been marginalized
We are engaged in a strategy of countergazing in this space
The negative strategy does not come to grips with this (list of reasons particular to neg)
We make this space one of contact zones, move toward this affirmation in face of disavowing black thought
They sit in their positions and ask the judge to save the, the aff is the opposite of this
We can discuss presidential WP from a place that affirms black theory but there is no topical version of our aff
Debate can have contigent commonality and contact zones, while there are moving away from engagement with black thought
Not about commitment to a specific ID category but what identity has come to mean
Their bodies did not perform the 1ac and thus cannot access it

CX of 1NC
How is the negative not also a performance?
Can decisionmaking be neutral? Why isn't the 1ac good decision-making for black women?
Why does your war metaphors offense apply when the 1ac did not declare a war?
What is your definition of "being political" (alt)?
CX of 2AC
Can whites engage in countergazing - yes, white people study this too
How affirm value in this debate round
Countergazing bad arguments do link
We are affirming our agency and authority TO LOOK
Challenge the thesis
Both self affirmation AND a political strategy
Why debate space? Unique space to put strat's out and see how they work
Contact zones? Should bring in our identies instead of being told to disavow parts of themselves
Rep of war in the debate space - we have been targeted
CX of 2NC
How apply the Anderson stances vs reasons - it is about the Moten evidence
What do you think debate should look like, via your instance of DM - create discussion
Educational spaces
Why must a choice be made between what YOU advocate and what WE do - that is the T version of the AFF
You can countergaze against civility, while speaking about war powers - what IS that aff
What the aff looks like
Why is WP the locus point - the 1ac can change the dialogue a different way
What make a discussion productive? Agonistic deliberation

CX of 2AC
Can whites engage in countergazing - yes, white people study this too
How affirm value in this debate round
Countergazing bad arguments do link
We are affirming our agency and authority TO LOOK
Challenge the thesis
Both self affirmation AND a political strategy
Why debate space? Unique space to put strat's out and see how they work
Contact zones? Should bring in our identies instead of being told to disavow parts of themselves
Rep of war in the debate space - we have been targeted
