Who is the judge? Who is the judge?

- The judge is God.

- Why is he God? Why is God? - Because he decides who

wins or loses not my opponent. Who is your opponent? Who is your opponent? - He doesn't exist. - Why does he not exist? Why doesn't he exist? -Because he is a mute distant voice the truth that I speak.- Speak the truth! Speak the truth! To win, to defeat the opponent and just tell the truth, the college debates I went through during college were more of endless wrangling, no passionate collisions, and different statements, but the last Harvard debate no matter what. Whether it is the story of the contestant policeman from Harvard or the tearful personal experience expressed by the protagonist, they are undoubtedly all stating one point, Speak the truth. This is the charm and true meaning of the debate. It turned out that the debate I experienced was without essence and Connotation, it is no wonder that more and more people find that the debate has slowly faded away

    Although it is too idealistic, it is enough for five stars.

The Great Debaters quotes

  • Melvin B. Tolson: Take the meanest, most restless nigger. Strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, female niggers, and nigger infants, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a horse facing an opposite direction, set him on fire, and beat both horses until they tear him apart in front of male, female and nigger infants. Bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger males within an inch of their life. Do not kill them but put the fear of God in them, for they can be useful for future breeding. Anybody know who Willie Lynch was? Anybody? Raise your hand. No one? He was a vicious slave owner in the West Indies. The slave-masters in the colony of Virginia were having trouble controlling their slaves, so they sent for Mr. Lynch to teach them his methods. The word "lynching" came from his last name. His methods were very simple, but they were diabolical. Keep the slave physically strong but psychologically weak and dependent on the slave master. Keep the body, take the mind.

  • Henry Lowe: School's the only place you can read all day. Except prison.
