This makes debating easier. No need for rational thought or focus. All that is needed is good rhythm and foul language.

Shady masters degrees are the biggest scam going. Borrow $60,000 in taxpayer-guaranteed money to get a "Masters" in complaining? Sure, here's a check!

This "Tournament participants from all backgrounds say they have found some of these debate strategies offensive. Even so, the new style has received mainstream acceptance, sympathy, and awards," just reinforces the idea that people should say fuck the rules and do whatever you want. And dog pile anyone who dares to call you out for it.

so in other words, they're incapable of properly debating, so they just act like assholes and not only is no one supposed to say anything, it's somehow acceptable and they win debates? sure why not.

They can have a debate about a certain topic, two black students can show up, disregard the topic, talk about soemthing entirely different, ignore scholarly research and cited facts, rap, use spoken poetry, call each other "nigga", use profanity, and be declared the winners?



Holy fuck.  How would you like to be the white kid that had to follow the rules being shouted down by  the black kids for whom there are no rules?



Next year the black kids should just punch the white kids in the head, knock-out game style, and claim it represents a different, but equal, diverse and multicultural approach to debate.

I was in intercollegiate debate in the early 90's.  What is described in the article is like showing up for a football game with a soccer ball.



If this is the way "debate" is conducted now, it is no longer an academic discipline and is "entertainment."



What a joke.



But the joke is on us.  Following the rules is for suckas.

No shit.  Is GD suddenly championing academic rigor and being able to effectively argue an issue from multiple sides?  Meanwhile, reality is that this apparent trend in college debate wholly parallels and embodies the trends in GD debate, and elsewhere in our society.  Further, this kind of thing couldn't possibly happen if the judges in these competitions weren't sympathetic to the narrative.  Looks to me like a bunch of smug liberal debate judges types getting hung by their own petard.  Maybe they need to add the word "extreme" to the debate competition name?

But, I suppose making it out to be whitey victimized by negroes helps the meta-narrative of victimhood, as idiocracy progresses forward.

While not an inaccurate statement, to be fair, GD is an open forum.  This distinguishes it from formal academic debate, where all parties supposedly agree to the subject, acknowledge that they may be tasked to argue pro or con regardless of personal convictions and agree to obey the rules with respect to time and turns.





When you enter into a formal debate, and after the fact reject all the form and manner conventions, you are cheating at best.  





To be declared the victor under such circumstances, as opposed to being ejected from the competition, is an indicator of the fear of enforcing the rules.





Why would the tournament officials fear to enforce rules regarding form and manner?





Because they're afraid of being called racists.





My point?  This trend would not have been tolerated if white or asian kids initiated it.  Especially if they were shouting down black kids or changing debate premises in mid competition.





So yeah, it is black kids getting a pass at the expense of everybody else (including whites) because they serve the larger goals/narrative held dear by academia and it's societal allies.

The fault here is the judges, not the students.  I never took debate competitions seriously before I read this, and I won't start now.
The coach as well.





Also, the students are the ones doing the actual cheating at the expense of other student competitors, so they do bear some of the fault, too.





Whether you take the competitions seriously isn't really the point.  The point is there were rules and now, there no longer are.  





To put a finer point in it: technically, there are still rules, but they are not enforced against some competitors and the reason is the immutable characteristic of the cheaters' race.





While the workings of "debate" as a competitive endeavor may not be of interest to you, the situation described above can reasonably be seen as a part of a larger trend.  





It is analogous to preferential treatment/rule waiving for blacks in all competitive endeavors academic and real world; especially those endeavors where circumstances present a particular individual black person who cannot win on meritorious grounds and has the bar lowered as a concession to their race.





The larger issue is real and pervasive.  This is just a symptom.





Acknowledging it as such is not an exercise of simian feces throwing by GD neckbeards.

It's the idea that a particular group of people cannot possibly have defective culture that is responsible for their shortcomings, but that another group has special advantages which are soley responsible for their general success.

Basically, no one is ever responsible for their own failures, it's always someone else's fault.
