Presenting....common core’s critical thinking standard. Could debate possibly get any dumber?

[FlingWingFlyer]

And then these clowns can’t get a job no matter how hard they wave their “diploma” around. I wouldn’t hire them either.

[Gluteus Maximus]

This has to be a hoax.

LOL..he’s talking about how the black man can’t survive thanks to the white man’s affirmative action and quotas for having black/minority employees.

I checked snopes and I can’t find anything there.

Great.

They probably won because after they spoke, the other team admitted that they couldn’t understand a word they said so they had no rebuttal.

The judge’s were terrified if they didn’t let them win they would be labeled “racist” because N-words have a civil right to use the N-word.

The written quotes do NOT do it any justice.

She isn't actually speaking or talking in a normal presentation, she is doing some kind of weird spoken-word cadence at super-fast speed. It is utterly bizarre.

The “special olympics” of debate

And so civilization dies, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Throttled by an ignoramus performing for the edification of elitist politically correct administrators.

I actually scrolled back up to see if John Semmens was at it again.

Not having been a debater in high school or college, and only having seen either informal "debates" or examples of real debates from forty years ago, I was completely shocked at what college-level debate has turned into. Yes, the black students (both the "champion" and the second place team) debate arguments were complete gibberish. They deliberately broke the rules and basically shouted babbled incoherently. Chalk that up to cowardly college libs afraid to call something stupid when they see blacks do it.

But after delving into the what constitutes modern debate formulas, that kind of speed-talking is now common. Nobody outside the debate fraternity can understand anything anything modern college debaters say. There have been documentaries done about the speed talkers and articles written. Most outside views have been negative. But the modern debate coaches and teams defend the style saying the judges understand what the debaters are saying.

I find the whole thing a load of gibberish. It doesn't matter whether modern debate teams can compress far more facts in their arguments than old style debaters, it totally destroys the meaning of a real debate. It's not debate as most Americans know it, it's a sort of freak show. Some have described it as a parlor trick. The style can never be used outside college debate contests. This is what high level education has come down to...parlor tricks.

And they certainly didn't win on looks alone...

[faucetman]

The only redeeming thing in that debate was that they exercised their first amendment right of free speech to use an actual word “Nigger” without being struck by lightening or a sink hole opening up and swallowing them.

Otherwise...... what a load of CRAP! Speed talking so that you couldn’t understand most of the crap they were spewing.

So they won an award for demonstrating how ignorant and incomprehensible they can be? How proud their parents must be.

We are finished as a country.

[Lazamataz]

This is not a debate. This is pure nonsense jibba-jabba. It is delivered with a hyperventilating, staccato, content-free case of verbal diarrhea with utterly no meaning whatsoever.

I would NEVER hire ANYONE who even PARTICIPATED in this insane 'competition'.

[super7man]

Bump for later.
