“Ironically, the debate topic was supposed to be about renewable energy. “The black debaters simply ‘chose’ to point out their opponents’ skin color and begin advocating genocide,” reported InvestmentWatchdogBlog.com. “They expressly stated that these were their ‘sincere beliefs,’ not just an argument to win a debate.””

Ive heard of this before. This is how minorities act in debates. Rather than intelligently argue the topic they accuse their opponents of racism. It actually works as a debate tactic. In this case they are actually promoting genocide of whites which of course is perfectly acceptable these days.

I’m sorry, did I hear you say this was a debate with black folk over renewable energy? Okay, that’s funny.

When I was debating in college (back in the Cretaceous Era), anybody who wasted their time with extra-topical piffle would pay for it dearly. While they're prattling on about racism, they're wasting time NOT addressing the 78-point argumentative barrage I had launched at the in my last stand. Then I would point out to the judge, "Now while my opponent is content to stand here and snivel about racism at the expense of debating the actual topic, let's go through all of my points he failed to address, thus indicating his agreement with said points."

So at the end of the round, my opponent may have had the opportunity to call me a racist, but he lost the chance to deal with my arguments, and with it, the round. (You have to deal with strict time limits, and wasting time talking about racism, unless it's directly related to the topic, is very unwise, unless you want to lose.)

I guess these guys from Harvard don't know how to debate any better than they did back when I was in the game. If somebody wanted to take the debate off topic, I stripped the flesh off their forensic backs and then bathed them in brine, as it were. ;-)

And the professors say nothing?
