So, it's kind of hard with the audio, but does anyone know exactly what the conflict here was?
|
MagickPoultry  Here's what I've found:
It seems each team is allowed to remove one judge out of five from the round. It seems that the beardo's team "struck" this woman because she had rated them poorly during previous rounds where she had judged.
Then, the other team made the argument DURING the debate that striking her was an enforcement of "white privilege." This team then won the debate. After the debate was over, there was some kind of heated exchange among the three remaining judges and one of them left in frustration. Right after that is apparently when this video begins.
I never did discern what exactly the debate was supposed to be about because the thread I found about it was too steeped in nerdy debate jargon.

StanleyPain The debate, from what I've read, was about racism and race issues. And this guy thought it was bullshit that the team used the example of removing that judge as an example of inherent racism and was allowed to do that. After that it degenerated into some bullshit apparently only important and comprehensible to people obsessed with debate as a sport.

i'm kind of lost too, but it looks like the debate got a little too personal and turned into a free for all. i love watching this kind of stuff though. everyone is just paralyzed with awkwardness

Ah, the classic argumentum ad proctologicam, first used effectively by Marcus Furius Camillus against the Gauls of Allia.

I thought I had lost the ability to crack up at the pure irony of a situation, but I was wrong.

Needs "beardo" and "inappropriate sobbing" tags.

See, white people argue like this.
And black people argue like this.

When threatened, the male hairpile will launch into an aggressive display, whipping its deadly ponytail back and forth in an attempt to frighten off predators.
In the unthinkable event that this fails, it will attempt to regain its dominance by making a complete ass of itself. This behavior remains unexplained.

PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY = 5 stars.
The only difference between Highschool and College debate is a larger vocabulary.

Favoriting this to remind myself not to get involved with these psychos.

EVERYONE involved in this clip, regardless of visually perceived race, warrants the use of the "white people" tag.

Huh huh, they're "master debaters," Beavis.

I love love love this video. The odd thing is that one of my friends works at Fort Hayes, actually "The Poet Shelley" in case you're keeping score.

Watch it again and imagine that the people in that room are the last surviving members of the human race.
THEN it makes sense.

Debating is one of those important skills vital to discourse over issues that affect our lives...
but god damn do debate clubs spawn some insufferably shrill pricks.
