Rampant Racist Rhetoric

At a speech and debate tournament last week, I was wronged like none other. For one of my debates, I centered my case around an aspect of the social contract, mainly that governments are only beholden to their own citizens, and they don't need to care about ramifications on citizens other than their own. One of my points was about Africa, and how it has a polarized economy (basically a few people get rich while the others get almost nothing), and also how targeted economic sanctions on Africa would lead to an un-polarized economy. I also brought Africa up in Cross-Examination. According to my judge, since I said that governments don't need to care about any people but their own, and that sanctioning Africa would be good, I was being racist. I lost the round because of that, and got minimum speaker points. Had I not been "racist" I would have gone to semi-finals and then to finals, and probably won (since every one else in my division was horrible). even my opponent, who is supposed to over-exaggerate bad things about my case, didn't think I was being racist. That's a pretty long stretch for a judge. He used those exact words; "rampant racist rhetoric." It was so funny I laughed all the way home on the bus. It's the best alliteration I've ever heard.
