This is a very great example of why some debates should not have an audience.

[@RobertZemeckis2025]

[@Awesoman]

Agreed. Some audience members are really stupid. Especially those in California.

[@txdunn]

And the debaters should be in sound proof rooms that can be muted when someone is answering their arguments

[@MG-rg3jo]

It is also a great example of why CRT is doomed. When a Malcolm Nance is a champion of it then by definition it is finished.

[@danporath536]

This wasn’t “debate”, it is infotainment for audience capture and retention. A debate would be two to three hours with a moderator, a proponent of CRT and an opponent. It would start with coming to a mutual agreement on definitions. It won’t happen because proponents of CRT would never agree to this.

[@Maxx61]

I'm a registered Independent who has enjoyed Maher for years but his show would be so much more enjoyable without the clapping seals.

Yes Ben is highly articulate but his argument is fundamentally flawed, no matter how well he articulates it. "CRT" doesn't exist period. It's just like "communism" and "socialism", yet another scary word trotted out by the right. I also find it highly ironic that ppl like Ben and proponents of cancelling "CRT" talk about the divide that CRT is forming in the country but they are doing the exact same thing. Hustlers on both sides.

I'm a right winger, but while the left is insane, the right is stupid, and most asshats do in fact get it wrong. Ben gives a good, real definition of CRT here. It is monstrous, and what's beautiful is that the CRT goblin publicly endorses it shamelessly. He says out loud that under CRT, the existence of a disparity, by itself, is evidence that said disparity is caused by discrimination. This is transparently retarded. Newton saw an apple move from a tree to the ground; saying that the existence of the movement is evidence that a force called gravity caused the apple to fall is as logical as saying that the existence of the movement is evidence that aliens caused the apple to fall; better evidence is needed and this is a dogshit epistemic standard. CRT scholars never actually do the research to show that this is the case. They'll just point to something like an income gap, and point to all sorts of statistics on outcome differences, but never give proper evidence that discrimination is to blame because they're operating on a perverted version of critical theory which has descended into relativism.

For instance people thought the only reason why trump wanted a wall on the southern border was due to racism because immigration laws affect poc disaportionly greater.

@ABM Mate stfu, you’re the one who doesn’t know what they’re on about. YES, it is theory and history, when it should just be history. That’s the point. Especially when this particular theory is so terrible. It is an explicitly anti-liberal and anti-American theory. It uses magical thinking in place of rational argument, declaring the whole system to be racist despite being unable to point to parts of the system that engage in this racism, not having any legal basis on which to make such an assertion (only ever describing unequal outcomes, and just asserting that the cause of that inequality is racism). Kimberle Crenshaw explicitly states that she wants to promote Race Marxism in her book, but then acts all two-faced in television interviews, lying to people, telling them she just wants to continue the legacy of the Liberal Civil Rights movement. Stefancic and Delgado make it crystal clear that their problem is with Liberalism. Derrick Bell promotes an image of America so wilfully pessimistic that the only solution presented is the total breaking down of the system and replacing it with something entirely different. In this respect it is a revolutionary ideology. That is a TOTALLY inappropriate thing to teach in schools. So stop hiding the ball, and stop with the cheap moralising and smug race-card pulling. It’s a complete crock. When you say “whites are fearful”, you’re reducing people’s objections to something irrational. But CRT is detestable for completely rational reasons. Nonetheless, you say you understand why white people would be fearful, which is an acknowledgment of CRT’s anti-white bent. Yet still you support it? This alone is enough reason to oppose CRT. No Theory that promotes anti-whiteness (or anti-any-particular-race-ness) should be taught in schools. It’s as simple as that.

I hope you are talking about the guy that ended bragging about his money like 18 year old soundcloud rapper.

@@daviddn5631 she is talking about the anti white racist who decided to only speak ill of Caucasians but seems to omit all the historical facts about many other races who were responsible for many nasty historical facts and couldn't win an argument without insulting like a 4 year old. He might as well have started calling him a buttface!!!! Pull yourself together!!! LMAO!!! Fun fact for you.... The first American slave owner was a black man just so you know ;)

@@daviddn5631 lmao in response to Nance’s petty insult. Nance’s arguments are worse then a five year olds. He was unable to make a single point in that debate and ran away the whole time

OH SHIT “I will comfort myself tonight by sleeping on my bed made of money” Ben Shapiro just shut that dude down hard 😂😂😂😂

[@darkshadow5581]

ah yes, gotta love being so unable to use "Facts and logic" that you gotta just say "well, i got more money than you, so hah"

[@SJslostwritingawards]

This black man sure knows how to shut down an argument by just claiming racism.

That seems to be the status quo for a lot of these guests on hot topics of the day, especially in the gun control debate area.

@@FrostLordOni sir this is a youtube comment section, there are no such thing as proper arguments on here. comments here are only useful at bullying people.

[@TimeForDunston]

It's like we watched two entirely different videos. All I saw was an insecure and angry little manlet trying to pretend that racism doesn't exist in America.

Malcolm is just arguing with himself and people are applauding.

[@powerman2610]

It's kinda funny.. he says something that is 100% irrelevant and they just clap to support him.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Not sure what's more embarrassing, his nonsense or the audience clapping mindlessly. OK, it's a tie.

Malcom gets outclassed into oblivion. Audience: "Whoooooooo!!"

It's almost as if this is the reason that centrist and right leaning people DO NOT WANT STATUES TORN DOWN OR THINGS RENAMED. It is important to know who these people are and how they got to where they were. Erasing them fixes jack sheet.

[@akafox91]

Honestly, just pan the camera ONE TIME! We know their seals! Show us the seals! There's no way a human being could have possible mistaken the word salad coming out of Nance's mouth for logic, especially logic worthy of applause.
