Tournament: Usc | Round: 3 | Opponent: Rutgers-Newark Randall-Smith | Judge: Loy Jr - JGreen note-taking
THE SHORT OF IT: White Supremacy is a problem.  Eroticism (borrowing from Audrey Lorde) is a successful challenge against the way that Whiteness has manifested itself against the bodies of women of color.  The affirmatives method does not offer a successful challenge to the way that white masculinity has created violence against native and other women of color.

NOTES DURING 1nc
we are gathered to celebrate the death of white supremacy:
- White Supremacy has taken many forms....(lists a long number of manifestations of oppression)
- Politics of language - Whiteness cannot take theoretical means - must be suspending from a TELOS - our language is infected with Whiteness - liberal individualism

White supremacy will always try to claim power - we need to honor our own dead - To those men - do not need to stare - Pocahontas - We have been at war for our own bodies.  To all my future lovers....very explicit story shared

Affirming the erotic informs the self - Warrior 8 - Quotes Lorde as a force for human liberation - we know ourselves to be capable of...Erotic is an expression of existance - only the poet can build that bridge - De Loria - a recognition - spiritual 

1ac posits agency for black bodies but fails to look at women of color - specifically native women and other women of color

Eroticism needs to be reclaimed in the debate space - Reid Brinkley et al - Whiteness characterizes a romantic of desire left us bruised - in an abusive relationship...we work to create an erotic of debate - 

Cannot be a question of Black bodies, but all bodies of colors - my embodied
POESIS - not guarantee an ethical world - need to interrogate the their politics are oriented around MAN - they code the Man as agent

WOMACK 8 - Eroticism must move beyond love making - Body is a site erotic to include - Lorde breaks down - eroticism v porn - becomes a central theoretical motion within this work.

Judge does not have  a particular role - it should be who produces better scholarship.  Mutually exclusive with their notion of poesis.

Taylor’s original poem about her lifeways/orientation toward her people and tribes
“If you are a settler colonist, never come near me again.”

Whiteness is scapegoated onto a few individuals --- must transcend whiteness w a teleological suspension --- language itself is infected with whiteness/neutral discourse is a cover --- patriarchy

Drones are whiteness --- deployed against black and red bodies --- black/red bodies of women targeted for sexual violence --- female body assumed to be open/inviting/receptive of violence --- aff discourse does nothing to solve the hypersexualization of black women

Aff doesn’t analyze relation of drones to people of color --- unconsensual sterilization of red/black women --- rape as a colonial weapon, slavery

Reconceive space to reject Eurocentrism/create a new “we” (Goeman) 

This round is a question of who best methodologically and performatively destroys whiteness in this space. 

Kylah’s erotic dance to “Rocket” by Beyoncé to disarticulate space --- double consciousness --- reclaim her own body in sexual way --- remove shirt and put back on

1NR FYI

View perm through politics of consent --- aff never asked, feel entitled to it --- Taylor explicitly signaled in 1NC the lack of consent w “If you are a settler colonist, never come near me again.”
