Professor Of the 360 students here at Wiley College, only 45 of you were brave enough to try out for the debate team. Of that 45, only four of you will remain standing when the tryouts are over. why? Because debate is blood sport. Its combat. But your weapons are words. Knocking Come on in. Now that Mr. Farmer has joined us, we can begin. Sit down, Mr. Farmer. Not right there. Over there. - Yes, sir. - James. Right this way. Good evening, Mrs. Tolson. - Evening. - Excuse me. Were waiting for you, Mr. Farmer. Im going, sir. Thank you, Mr. Farmer. You smell very good, Mr. Farmer. - Thank you, sir. - Youre very welcome. Gentlemen and lady. This is. the hot spot. You will enter it at your own risk. Mr. Tolson, what about the debaters from last year? Dont ask a question you already know the answer to. Get up here. Youll be first. Get right here. Hot spot. Debate starts with a proposition. With an idea.Resolved: Child labor should be regulated by the federal government. The first debater argues the affirmative. Affirmative means that you are for something. Mr. Reed will argue the affirmative. The second debater argues the negative. Negative means that you are what? Against. Brilliant, Mr. Burgess. You shall argue the affirmative, Mr. Reed. Go. Well, sir, Id begin with a quote from the poet Cleghorn. The golf links lie so near the mill, that almost every day, the laboring children can look out and. and. And watch the men at play Is that what you learned from last year, Mr. Reed? To start something, and not finish it? - Is it? - No, sir. Sit down. Whos next? You? Stand up. Stand up. Its getting late. How much longer can you hide? Im not hiding, sir. I transferred from my college just to come here and try out for your team. I am deeply moved. Whats your name? Samantha Booke. - Book? - With an e. Arise, Miss Booke. With an e. Into the hot spot, Miss Booke with an e. You know, theres never been a female on the debating team, ever. Yes, sir. I know that. What makes you think you should be the first? Because, sir, I am just as qualified as. - Quit stammering, Miss Booke. .anybody else here. - My gender has nothing. - Resolved: Welfare discourages hard work. - Youll argue the negative. - All right. Welfare takes away a mans strongest reason for working, which is survival. And that weakens the will of the poor. How would you rebut that, Miss Booke with an e? I would say it does not. Most of the New Deal goes to children, anyway, and to the handicapped, and to old people. - Is that fact, or conjecture? - It is a fact. - Speak up. - It is a fact. - Whats your source? - The president. - Of the United States? - Yes, sir. Thats your primary source? You spoke to President Roosevelt personally? Of course not. I did not speak to him personally, but I listened to his Fireside Chat. - Oh, a radio broadcast. - Yes. - Any other sources? - Well. Any other sources? Yes, there are other sources. Like that look in a mothers eyes when she cant feed her kids. Without welfare, Mr. Tolson, people would be starving. Whos starving, Miss Booke? - The unemployed are starving. - Mr. Burgess here. Hes unemployed. Obviously, hes not starving. I drew you in, Miss Booke. You gave a faulty premise, so your syllogism fell apart. - Syllogism? - Your logic fell apart. Major premise: The unemployed are starving. Minor premise: Mr. Burgess is unemployed. Conclusion: Mr. Burgess is starving. Your major premise was based on a faulty assumption. Classic fallacy. Whos next? Whispers You were right. Tolson Tell us your name. Im Henry Lowe. With an e. All right, Mr. Lowe. I will name a subject. You speak a few words. a pertinent quote from world literature. Go ahead. Beauty. I heard the old, old men say, all that is beautiful drifts away, like the waters. Very good. History. And name the author this time. History is a nightmare, from which I am trying to awake. James Joyce. Self-pity. I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. D.H. Lawrence. Whispers I love D.H. Lawrence. Have you ever read. Mr. Farmer. Yes, sir? I have eyes in the back of my head and ears on both sides. Stand up. Tell me the irony in the name Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Bethlehem is the birthplace of Jesus, Prince of Peace, and Bethlehem Steel makes weapons of war. Very good. Sit down. Good. Tolson Whos next? That went well. How will we know how we did? - Chattering - Samantha. Samantha. Tolsons tough, isnt he? He sure is. Im James. Is your father Dr. James Farmer? Yes. yes, he is. Im taking theology from him, and that man speaks in tongues. French, Greek, Hebrew, Latin. How many languages does he speak? - Seven languages. - Seven languages. He must be the smartest man in Texas. Well, thats not saying much. So why do you want to be on the team? - I think it would be good training. - For what? Bein a lawyer. Lawyer? Thats great. You know how many Negro women practice law in this state? - Two. - Exactly. One of thems my aunt. Well, look at you, Mr. Farmer. How old are you, anyway? Ill be 16. in 21 months. Chuckles Young lady. James. I just wanted to thank you. For what? Well, for your performance tonight. I mean, how many other students ever stand up to Tolson? - I did. - No. You answered a question, and I spouted a few quotes. Miss Booke with an e, - she fought back. - And lost! But you didnt have to lose. Why isnt a Fireside Chat a legitimate source? Because Tolson says so? Nobody has better access to those statistics than the president. Now, if youd have called Tolson on that, you would have won. I dont know. Im sure that man would have come up with something. Good night, James. Samantha Can you believe hes - Good night, Samantha. - 14 years old, and hes in college? You are gifted, all of you. So I want you to know that I chose this team for balance, and none of you should take it as a failure. as a denigration of your intellect. Denigrate. Theres a word for you. From the Latin word niger, to defame, to blacken. Its always there, isnt it? Even in the dictionary. Even in the speech of a Negro professor. Somehow, black is always equated with failure. Well, write your own dictionary. And mark this as a new beginning, whether you make the team or not.
