Brian v. Jazzmon
Judges were nearly split on this one. Both students wrote excellent speeches. Jazzmon showed us today fantastic opening remarks about the history of the problem (slavery). Very impressive Jazzmon. Brian, in his systematic way, discussed in a matter-of-fact tone why slaver is absolutely necessary. It was close but the majority of judges were convinced that raping occurred and there for inhumane treatment cannot be denied. Those facts are still contested. A stronger rebuttal would have made the difference for Brian. Congratulations to both speakers for a entertaining and thought provoking debate.

Congratulations to Jazzmon on her successful win I liked the way she used background information to stump her opponent to Brian I just say you were saying umm... way to much it seemed like you couldn't answer the questions during cx also you kept repeating yourself over and over but atleast you tried good job Brian I admire your courage from Ralph
ReplyDeletei really thought Brian was going to win he had all the evidence for his argument and did a great job on his cross eximination but good job on Jazzmon winning congratulation.
ReplyDeleteIn this debate both debaters had really good arguments and great things to porve. Many say that Brian should've won but i thing that Jazzmon deserved to win due to her presice arguments. I believe that the strongest argument which changed everyones mind is when Jazzmon stated her facts with him and his nieces. Overall i believe that this was a well said debate and absolutely fair!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Brian should have won because he got Jazzmin on the cross examination when he asked her if she had any evidence that African slaves were rapped and she said "no".
ReplyDeleteI want to take this time to congradulate Jazz on the win! Jazz, you used a point in the cross and I should have controlled you more. I don't ever want to be nasty so I let you go on. But when you brought the rape point out, i asked you if you had evidence to prove it, and you said no!
ReplyDeleteJazz you did good but I think that Brian should have won. But only for one reason because when you brought up the rape thing and Brian asked you if you had evidence to prove it and you just said no, if you at least tried to get around that then I would be on your side all the way. And Brain if you had just caught Jazz when she said something about race, you could have said that race didn't really exist back then, then you probably would have won.
ReplyDeletethis debate was really close. I think both did well, i honestly thought Brian was going to win. but both did very good.
ReplyDeletethis was a very good debate, i was also suprise for this one. brian brought a good amount of resources to the table and use them very well. jazzmon research not only her person but also brian's person very well. to be honest though i beleive that brian should of one, but he didn't and congrats to jazzmon
ReplyDeleteI thought that Brian was going to win but you both had a good argument and i liked the CX.
ReplyDeletei was a judge and it was a hard choice. we Didnt let perosnal problems get in the way of jugding. i picked jazzmon because ifelt like her speech was clear and she stated all of the evdince. even tho shes not on my "team" i voted for her it was my choice and the respectable choice. all throgh brian did a good job jazzmon was right in the win .
ReplyDeleteThis was a good debate but jazz did a little bit better on the cross..... When Jazz said about the rape thing Brian said that he did not they were slaves so he went with jazz..... and I think that brain should have looked up his bio me but good job to you both
ReplyDeleteWell matched opponents!! Good jobs. Ms. Gold
ReplyDeleteJazzmon did so good!!!!
ReplyDeleteyea i thought brian was going to win because he had so much evidence and i thought he was well prepared, but i think jazzmon presented herself better and really did her research on his person.
