It's one of the more coherent ones I have heard. There was a good NPR piece about 2-3 years ago on how debate was changing and really highlighted how it was becoming a feel good exercise.

Serious question... How are you supposed to debate any of this without coming off as a racist? It's a debate competition, right? Is there another side being argued? I'm not even sure what the topic is but the route they went to establish an argument makes it impossible to counter.

That is the thought. Especially when the people judging don't want to be seen as racist.

It doesn't matter what the topic to debate is about, you just have to start your own argument.

Well, there's no one better at starting an argument than black women.

Just like that. You change the entire dialogue to that very question and you debate THAT point. The discussion needs to become that dialogue is impossible when the tone on the other side is so derisive.

They are ignorantly doing a much better job of destroying their race and culture over the work that any virulent racist could ever do.

None of that made any sense. Debate??? She did more heavy breathing and odd noises than anything else. It sounded as if she was having some type of medical emergency.

I’m sorry, what was the topic of the debate again? I couldn’t understand a fricking word they said.

It appears that they get to make an argument ex nihilo.

I am going to actually have to agree with the brothers here when he said at the 4:19 mark, “I be dreaming of chocolate covered water melon....Aunt Jemimah and Uncle Ben sitting in the corner and a rifle pointed at the heads saying Don’t shoot the children! don’t shoot the children! Da-Clack Clack”.

I think the breathless gasping is what won the judges over for the sisters.

Note to self: If see "Winner, national debate competition" on applicant resume - further inquiry necessary.

It sounded like someone who was having a nervous breakdown.

I can see how they would win because I'm pretty sure when it was the other team's turn they just stood their confused and unsure of what just happened.
