@@markb4706 and I bet you didn't understand anything coming out of his mouth. If your sentence has the word 'snowflake' your agreement and reasoning is now deemed as irrelevant.
The kid who mentioned land being stolen as being connected to the US flag made a damn good point, he just made it in the worst way possible. Yes, that’s what that flag stands for, in part, so maybe you shouldn’t be pledging allegiance to that kind of thing either. He seemed incredibly satisfied with himself for saying that, as if it was a rebuttal, when really it was a perfect confirmation of what Chris and everyone else on his side was saying. Flags cannot be separated from any piece of their meaning. America is built on the bones of people who were brutalized, murdered, put through cultural genocides, exploited, etc. That kid thought he was refuting the blonde in green when really he was just shooting himself in the femoral artery.
Exactly. He thought he had a gotcha but he pretty much put the bullet in the gun and turned it on himself. She could've completely derailed his thought process by saying, "No. I don't pledge allegiance to any flag."
Not only that but he seems to forget a southerner of Georgia passed a bill to murder more native Americans to move westward and that the president who was obsessed with manifest destiny was James K Polk. A North Carolinian southern democrat. The same group of people who supported slavery and the defense of it. James was also the active president during the American civil war and loved the idea of basically taking the land of Mexico as much as possible and proceeded to. What’s funny to me is America is blamed for natives and Mexicans dying yet it was the people who basically made up of the confederacy who did those things and were in power at the time. The union Republican were at no power in the senate till the time of Lincoln and southern democrats were in charge of the government and eventually basically had a monopoly till the issue of slavery became a bigger issue.
I noticed that every time Christopher backed up his claim with FACTS (not on emotions or feelings) the class laughed. Why? Because they knew deep down that he was correct.
kskskskksks mammsmsk No I think the class laughed because of the way he showed emotion in his argument. I laughed when he talked not because he was right but because he was honestly dramatic in a sense.
As an autistic person it’s really frustrating seeing people laugh at Chris because I relate to him so much. He’s clearly very excited and prepared to talk about this and seeing his peers laugh at him is just upsetting. I’ve been Chris before and it really goes to show that bullying doesn’t stop in middle school, it can be from seniors too.
@@Itsme0Fit is though, and we have to stop denying it. It is ableism. It’s “funny” because he’s showing autistic traits. No one else got laughed at like him.
no there laughing with him im trying to say they are enjoying the argument and laughing with him the other videos show people are just interested in what he has to say ive had debates in my classes where people laugh when someone who is very smart starts arguing with someone else not because they are trying to be rude its th oposite its entertaining seing an argument and its fun when someone you know has a good point is called on and says I completly disagree I really dont hink people are trying to be rude or are being rude and alot of the comments agree@@kaitlyncarey3269
bullying stays in university and your work place as well, its just human nature to laugh and humilliate (if theyre not able to physically abuse as well) others
next time anyone else starts laughing at you or others just ask what or why is it funny what youre saying or doing, anyways, just focus on yourself and get an easy and good paying job (if youre not gonna run a business of course), so you never depend and dont have anything to do with most people, who will only humilliate and use you
@Sean Alexander Except if you take 2 seconds to google that quote you'll see that historians have discredited, and there's not really a basis to attribute that speech to lincoln.
Sean Alexander oops! you made a biased claim that has no factual footholds! you want me to use one of your sources? I’ll talk Snopes. Not only do you not understand how to read or find reputable sources except when it benefits you, but the ONLY place that has 3% of families owning slaves was Delaware. The rest was 12-49% depending on the state. You can verify that on a site you used in your attempt at arguing, on: www.snopes.com/news/2019/08/07/percent-of-whites-owned-slaves/
Kill a Commie For Mommy Barely. Drake is the one that was able to state his "opinion", while Chris only had a couple minutes to spew facts. Chris and the kid with the glasses were the only two people in that room who had facts to back up their arguments.
@@chelseacousin2063 Drake explained how the North put unfair tariffs on the South. The percentage of men that owned slaves in the south working for the economy was 5% and how the Confederate flag has been molded by our society to be seen as racist. Christophers facts were irrelevant and he sometimes contradicted himself. He used extreme words against the south calling them terrorists and traitors. The girl in the glasses literally only used her emotions and everyone elses for her argument. You have nothing good on the anti confederate flag side.
@@scenicnick I'm saying you have to know where the information is so you can search it just like Chris did. By the way Chros is following me on TH-cam!! I hope your Drake bothers to notice you😏😼
I think it's his natural way of speaking, I do that too and can't help it. Doesn't change the fact that Chris butchered every advocate of the Confederate Flag.
ʀɪᴄᴇ ᴄᴀᴋᴇ LoL you’re not even a white😭 somebody come look at this clownery. Sis why the self hate lol. whites will never love or accept u, “why I hate being a black girl” “why I like white guys”. If white guys liked you you wouldn’t be on here making videos about why you like white people. I’m sorry you feel that way tho. but kissing their asses wouldn’t make them like you any more lol.
Thats fucked man, but at least lots of people online easily recognized him as the smartest in the room. High schoolers are fucking dumb so is it really a surprise they misjudged him.
I think they're laughing that someone's career is about to end. Chris brought it. He pulled out his tablet and wasn't afraid to use facts. Opinions are like knives in a gunfight of facts and Drake got wrecked.
Leedle Leedle Lee did you watch the video? Example: he slammed the laptop after checking his facts (as the others were saying opinions) and he got laughed at. I’m just gonna assume you didn’t watch the video
This discussion is amazing! Great job to this teacher for putting this together and moderating so well. You can definitely tell his stance, but I'm very glad he did this and put it out for the world to see. :)
While he was spitting fax, he would also dominate the debate and its healthy to here other opinions, even though a lot of them are ignorant and stupid.
asf and that lil boy with the grey hoodie moving his neck all types of ways talking about, “it’s his opinion and we gotta tolerate it, woulda got a “so you wanna fight or?”
rewatching this video today makes me understand even more just how much Chris destroyed everyone who was pro-flag lol. I hope he went on to do some cool shit! He’s got the potential for it!
Not exactly. Chris is right and wrong. Yes the confederate flag was a battle flag but now it's meaning has changed, it's a symbol for the south. Black, white all use that flag. And it does not matter if the KKK uses it or not. Just because a mass shooter has a Biden hat doesn't mean Biden endorses mass shootings.
chris absolutely bodied that, all the kids are laughing at him just because they can’t fully process and keep up with how he works. also just saying i don’t think drake understands a debate, he can’t just deny, deny, deny.
@@Drako9823 no matter how the kid talks he took a massive shit on the other students debating, and who cares if he fact checks what he says? If I recall correctly it's a pretty bad thing to pull information out of your ass or just do it "based on how you feel".
@@Drako9823 I don't know about you but I can much more easily get behind someone who can cite facts over somebody who relies on "I feel" statements. Also facts are facts whether they were read from the source or remembered from the mind. Just my 2 cents though, enjoy spreading your conservative energy I guess lol
"fact" Yes yes, everyone who agrees with you is factual and everyone who disagrees isn't. Banning a flag is unconstitutional. Its an expression of speech. People are free to wave the ISIS flag if they so choose.
@@jasonhymes3382 free speech doesn't cover hate speech and terroristic threats, if you flew the ISIS flag like the way people have flown it in America you could face jail time or be put on a watch list. Freedom of speech only supports freedom of press and the fact the goverment can't discriminate against you for voicing an opinion, if that opinion becomes a threat, hate speech & etc then it isn't protected.
The guy with the 3 questions and black glasses used a fallacy fallacy to get applause. It was civil till that point- moderation needed to step in around this point. People started jumping on things way too fast.
bandawhat33 like for example, he was right that the confederate flag today originated as a navy battle flag. Moreover, it definitely wasn’t about tariffs and taxes. That’s been an issue since the 1830’s. Not the 1860’s. Hell 1857 became the lowest rate since then and continued throughout. It was centrally about slavery and race and that’s what the confederate flag, and even by modern times, the symbol.
Chris and an unstoppable beast! This guy can a debate Master. I hope he goes into something that he can use this skill of his dropping people left and right with actual facts and data. You can tell this kid is bringing his A game. The other kids are just like yeah man I think blah blah, Chris over here taking notes, researching information while they are still talking. My man. 10/10 This is the kind of Student that gives me hope for the future.
My issue is that Chris was barely able to speak in this and Drake was able to ramble throughout the entire thing. You could argue it was to give everyone a chance to speak, which is fair, but there were people consistently coming back into the conversation and were able to speak their piece when they had something to say. Why? Because he was prepared??? I wanted to hear so much more from him not only because it seemed like he had a response to literally everything they were saying, but he was also educating. Everything he was saying is backed up historically and factually
@@jonathanirby2417 its either anyone can laugh at anyone or both sides are respectful towards each other I've seen a comment saying "they had a reason to laugh at drake he is stupid" anyone can have a reason to laugh at another it's just what they find funny i don't find it any different to laugh at a dumb person than to laugh at person who is acting uncommon either one can't change on the spot both sides should have been respectful to actually try to find common ground
@@ggaz683 Drake made some good points, but most people disagree with him, so they hate on him. The truth is, both what Chris and Drake said. Put it together and you got the truth.
I believe Chris definitely won the debate, the information and facts that he was able to explain and talk about was backed up by factual and historical sources and this was so impressive. His knowledge is beyond impressive
Just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should. You could cheat on your girlfriend call her a whore and kick here out, is that legal. Yes, is that moral, fuck no
The teacher stated that the rule is to let people finish their thoughts yet proceeds to interrupt Chris and have the entire class laugh at him. Pathetic.
I’m saying, Chris was making valid points and schooling these kids. Yet, the teacher calls Chris “professor” in a condescending way and interrupts him. You’re right, pathetic.
As this discussion should, it brought emotion to the forefront. Great to hear this discussion in a high school setting. Hate or not, it’s history and all of history isn’t positive. Kudos to the teacher for initiating this discussion.
They're laughing at him because they either can't imagine their ancestors being the cause of an extreme amount of damage to black people, or they are ignorant and refuse to hear the truth with an open mind and maturity
Lukie Dookie 343 It’s about being allowed to fly or wear the flag in public today, given what it stands for. Drake tried skirting around the biggest issue with it (slavery) and Chris cites the facts on that. What was absent from the debate (which Chris likely would’ve brought up later) was the many Declarations of Secession by the southern states, most of them explicitly citing the desire to retain slavery. “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of the commerce of the earth. . . A blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization.” - Mississippi secession declaration, passed Jan. 9, 1861. This hits at the point the teacher/moderator raised when Drake appealed to the economy. He basically shot himself in the foot bringing that up, as it proved Chris right.
white man's burden I’ve already shown via the secession declarations of the southern states that slavery was what they were determined to secede and fight their northern neighbors over. Closing your eyes to those declarations won’t make them go away. lol They weren’t subtle about what they desired. Ask the guy who made the ‘Stainless Banner’ for the Confederacy: “As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race: a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.” - William Tappan Thompson, He kept going. “As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, *the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization* contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals.” So again, it’s clear what the Confederacy stood for, was willing to secede and fight over, and what their flags represented. 360,222 soldiers lost their lives to preserve our Union; you dishonor them and our current troops by flying the flag of Confederacy... but you’ve already said you prefer to do that, so again, it’s quite telling 😏
white man's burden Our nation’s living document was designed by the founders to allow for the nation to evolve and right whatever wrongs were occurring (via Amendments and Acts). Whereas the Confederacy was founded on this: “Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." - Alexander H. Stephens, March 21, 1861 That’s what they stood for. You preferring to have their flag represent you speaks volumes about who you are 😏
I'm 6 years late to this, but there is an overused word here "offended." This word has thousands of interpretations and is personal to every person. No one is mentioning that their heritage makes them feel like the person who flies that flag will murder them at the drop of a hat. Anyone who flies that flag has been shown to be aggressive for the sake of enjoyment or a false fear that someone is trying to hurt them personally. I as a person with Jewish heritage am physically afraid of anyone who willingly displays a symbol of aggression and division. As a member of the LGBT+ community I am afraid for my life when I see this flag flown, because that flag has been used to represent the pride of killing my people. The only reason to fly that flag is to strike fear, or because you feel someone is trying to push back at what your parents taught you. And parents can be wrong.
I hate how Chris wasn’t given the floor he the only one that didn’t speak of emotions or any bias BUT PURE FUCKING FACTSSSS even the teacher did it and it’s total crap
This is awesome. In most countries debates like this don't exist, for example my own. You get silenced or people aren't brave enough to speak their minds. I don't care who's right or wrong, I love the democracy going on right here.

The teacher didn’t let Christopher talk that much cause he knew he was gonna shut down the whole debate😂
sofia rideman Honestly, I feel like he wanted to let the kids debate, then have professor Christopher lay down the facts.
He gave a whole ass Ted Talk💀💀😴
BattleFieldGamer 24 how so? He seemed to be the most educated on the civil war and the Confederacy. He responded with facts and not emotions.
BattleFieldGamer 24 he backed what he said up with facts everything he said was right 😂
The discussion is to include everyone, not just give a few the ability to go back and forth, if they want to keep it going with each other they can have it after school.
Chris wasn’t spittin nothin but *BARS.*
MLK would be proud to see this I think.

Why do these kids want to fly the confederate flag so bad?

That was an issue the teacher kept bringing up. I think they said they believe in freedom and that is a symbol of it.

The kid who mentioned land being stolen as being connected to the US flag made a damn good point, he just made it in the worst way possible. Yes, that’s what that flag stands for, in part, so maybe you shouldn’t be pledging allegiance to that kind of thing either. He seemed incredibly satisfied with himself for saying that, as if it was a rebuttal, when really it was a perfect confirmation of what Chris and everyone else on his side was saying. Flags cannot be separated from any piece of their meaning. America is built on the bones of people who were brutalized, murdered, put through cultural genocides, exploited, etc. That kid thought he was refuting the blonde in green when really he was just shooting himself in the femoral artery.
Exactly. He thought he had a gotcha but he pretty much put the bullet in the gun and turned it on himself. She could've completely derailed his thought process by saying, "No. I don't pledge allegiance to any flag."
Leftoids are such losers. "S-so maybe you shouldn't-" holy shit just say what you think is true
Not only that but he seems to forget a southerner of Georgia passed a bill to murder more native Americans to move westward and that the president who was obsessed with manifest destiny was James K Polk. A North Carolinian southern democrat. The same group of people who supported slavery and the defense of it.
James was also the active president during the American civil war and loved the idea of basically taking the land of Mexico as much as possible and proceeded to. What’s funny to me is America is blamed for natives and Mexicans dying yet it was the people who basically made up of the confederacy who did those things and were in power at the time.
The union Republican were at no power in the senate till the time of Lincoln and southern democrats were in charge of the government and eventually basically had a monopoly till the issue of slavery became a bigger issue.
what a brilliant display of preparedness, knowledge, and eloquence from Chris. Bravo. Way to absolutely rock a debate

As an autistic person it’s really frustrating seeing people laugh at Chris because I relate to him so much. He’s clearly very excited and prepared to talk about this and seeing his peers laugh at him is just upsetting. I’ve been Chris before and it really goes to show that bullying doesn’t stop in middle school, it can be from seniors too.
I think people are laughing with him its just the entertainment of seeing a debate not specifically at him
@@Itsme0Fit is though, and we have to stop denying it. It is ableism. It’s “funny” because he’s showing autistic traits. No one else got laughed at like him.
no there laughing with him im trying to say they are enjoying the argument and laughing with him the other videos show people are just interested in what he has to say ive had debates in my classes where people laugh when someone who is very smart starts arguing with someone else not because they are trying to be rude its th oposite its entertaining seing an argument and its fun when someone you know has a good point is called on and says I completly disagree I really dont hink people are trying to be rude or are being rude and alot of the comments agree@@kaitlyncarey3269
bullying stays in university and your work place as well, its just human nature to laugh and humilliate (if theyre not able to physically abuse as well) others
next time anyone else starts laughing at you or others just ask what or why is it funny what youre saying or doing, anyways, just focus on yourself and get an easy and good paying job (if youre not gonna run a business of course), so you never depend and dont have anything to do with most people, who will only humilliate and use you
It’s not even a fair debate. Chris is at least a whole standard deviation more intelligent than the next smartest kid in that class.

Kill a Commie For Mommy Barely. Drake is the one that was able to state his "opinion", while Chris only had a couple minutes to spew facts. Chris and the kid with the glasses were the only two people in that room who had facts to back up their arguments.
@@chelseacousin2063 Drake explained how the North put unfair tariffs on the South. The percentage of men that owned slaves in the south working for the economy was 5% and how the Confederate flag has been molded by our society to be seen as racist.

Not exactly. Chris is right and wrong. Yes the confederate flag was a battle flag but now it's meaning has changed, it's a symbol for the south. Black, white all use that flag. And it does not matter if the KKK uses it or not. Just because a mass shooter has a Biden hat doesn't mean Biden endorses mass shootings.

My issue is that Chris was barely able to speak in this and Drake was able to ramble throughout the entire thing. You could argue it was to give everyone a chance to speak, which is fair, but there were people consistently coming back into the conversation and were able to speak their piece when they had something to say. Why? Because he was prepared??? I wanted to hear so much more from him not only because it seemed like he had a response to literally everything they were saying, but he was also educating. Everything he was saying is backed up historically and factually

Chris needed WAY more time to talk. His ability to cram so many hard-hitting facts in such a short span of time was impressive.
Lukie Dookie 343 It’s about being allowed to fly or wear the flag in public today, given what it stands for. Drake tried skirting around the biggest issue with it (slavery) and Chris cites the facts on that. What was absent from the debate (which Chris likely would’ve brought up later) was the many Declarations of Secession by the southern states, most of them explicitly citing the desire to retain slavery.
“Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of the commerce of the earth. . . A blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization.” - Mississippi secession declaration, passed Jan. 9, 1861.
This hits at the point the teacher/moderator raised when Drake appealed to the economy. He basically shot himself in the foot bringing that up, as it proved Chris right.
white man's burden I’ve already shown via the secession declarations of the southern states that slavery was what they were determined to secede and fight their northern neighbors over. Closing your eyes to those declarations won’t make them go away. lol They weren’t subtle about what they desired. Ask the guy who made the ‘Stainless Banner’ for the Confederacy:
“As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race: a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.” - William Tappan Thompson,
He kept going. “As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, *the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization* contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals.”
So again, it’s clear what the Confederacy stood for, was willing to secede and fight over, and what their flags represented. 360,222 soldiers lost their lives to preserve our Union; you dishonor them and our current troops by flying the flag of Confederacy... but you’ve already said you prefer to do that, so again, it’s quite telling 😏
white man's burden Our nation’s living document was designed by the founders to allow for the nation to evolve and right whatever wrongs were occurring (via Amendments and Acts). Whereas the Confederacy was founded on this:
“Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." - Alexander H. Stephens, March 21, 1861
That’s what they stood for. You preferring to have their flag represent you speaks volumes about who you are 😏
YES I FREAKING LOVED HIM
dude didn’t even stumble or trip over a single word. dude is a born public speaker.
This is one of the best debates ever.
I'm 6 years late to this, but there is an overused word here "offended." This word has thousands of interpretations and is personal to every person. No one is mentioning that their heritage makes them feel like the person who flies that flag will murder them at the drop of a hat. Anyone who flies that flag has been shown to be aggressive for the sake of enjoyment or a false fear that someone is trying to hurt them personally.
I as a person with Jewish heritage am physically afraid of anyone who willingly displays a symbol of aggression and division. As a member of the LGBT+ community I am afraid for my life when I see this flag flown, because that flag has been used to represent the pride of killing my people.
The only reason to fly that flag is to strike fear, or because you feel someone is trying to push back at what your parents taught you. And parents can be wrong.
It is not to strike fear, it it is to show pride in something blatantly racist.
