Damn, several scenes, I was shocked and moved to tears when I watched it directly.
I'm sure it wasn't because I was too easily moved.
I finally believe that real debate and really great debaters are what make you cry.

who is the judge?
the judge is god.
and why is he god?
because he decides who wins or loses, not my opponent.
and who is your opponent?
he does not exist.
why he does not exist ?
because he is a mere a dissenting voice to the truce that i speak . It is highly recommended

to let little james play . great.

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.
