Why would you tell anyone this? 360 00:17:12,763 --> 00:17:14,196 Because I don't know what to do. 361 00:17:14,197 --> 00:17:17,932 I can't concentrate, and if I can't concentrate, then I can't win the debate tomorrow. 362 00:17:17,933 --> 00:17:20,541 The whole vote is dependent on me doing a good job- 363 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,379 "Alright, look. When two people work closely for a long time, 364 00:17:23,380 --> 00:17:25,720 sometimes they feel what's called, "sexual tension." 365 00:17:25,721 --> 00:17:28,061 Sometimes you just have to act on impulse and get it over with." 366 00:17:28,096 --> 00:17:29,696 You mean, I should kiss him? 367 00:17:29,731 --> 00:17:31,231 Kiss him and get it out of your system. 368 00:17:31,785 --> 00:17:32,780 Oh God. 369 00:17:34,774 --> 00:17:38,366 Well I certainly would like to thank all the parents for their support of our debate club. 370 00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:41,575 I r-realize that many of you are torn by the issues as well, 371 00:17:41,576 --> 00:17:44,083 so, perhaps the children can shed some light on us. 372 00:17:44,084 --> 00:17:48,033 We'll start with Wendy Testaburger on the "Flag Should Be Changed" team. 373 00:18:04,666 --> 00:18:06,764 The first argument we- 374 00:18:08,654 --> 00:18:10,984 Let me start over. The uh - oh God. 375 00:18:10,985 --> 00:18:13,268 Could you all excuse me for a moment? 376 00:18:16,166 --> 00:18:17,104 Oh. 377 00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:18,272 Oh, God! 378 00:18:23,289 --> 00:18:28,069 Yes. Now, the main point we would like to make is oftentimes it is prudent to change history. 379 00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:31,230 As times change we hope to grow, and as we grow our rules must change. 380 00:18:31,231 --> 00:18:33,745 It is a natural part of evolution. Thank you. 381 00:18:36,945 --> 00:18:40,233 Okay, and Kyle and Stan's team, your main point? 382 00:18:42,234 --> 00:18:44,637 Our main point is that the flag shouldn't offend anyone, 383 00:18:44,638 --> 00:18:46,907 because killing has been around since the bieginning of time. 384 00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:49,730 All animals kill. And the animals that don't kill are stupid ones, 385 00:18:49,731 --> 00:18:51,082 like cows and turtles and stuff. 386 00:18:51,083 --> 00:18:53,892 So people should not be so upset about killing. Thank you. 387 00:18:55,498 --> 00:18:58,726 Whoa whoa whooaa! You just missed the point entirely! 388 00:18:58,761 --> 00:18:59,415 Huh? 389 00:18:59,450 --> 00:19:02,085 I'm not mad because the flag shows somebody gettin' killed, 390 00:19:02,086 --> 00:19:03,601 It's because it's racist! 391 00:19:03,636 --> 00:19:04,605 Racist?? 392 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,693 Children, don't you even know what this argument is about?! 393 00:19:07,694 --> 00:19:10,866 That flag is racist because a black man is being hung by white people. 394 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,530 W-we really didn't see it that way. 395 00:19:15,565 --> 00:19:17,108 But that's a black man up there! 396 00:19:17,143 --> 00:19:20,241 Y-yeah, but� the color of someone's skin doesn't matter. 397 00:19:20,276 --> 00:19:22,385 Well of course it matters when- 398 00:19:23,106 --> 00:19:26,249 �Oh my God. Wait a minute. 399 00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:30,529 You children didn't even see the flag as a black man being hanged by white people, did you? 400 00:19:30,564 --> 00:19:31,578 No. 401 00:19:31,613 --> 00:19:36,691 Why, that is - that is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. 402 00:19:36,726 --> 00:19:37,961 -What? -What? 403 00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:42,376 Don't you see? All this time I thought these little crackers had turned racist, 404 00:19:42,377 --> 00:19:48,695 when actuallih they were so not racist that they didn't even make a separation of black and white to begin with. 405 00:19:48,696 --> 00:19:52,524 All they saw when they looked at that flag was five people. 406 00:19:54,990 --> 00:19:55,605 Yeah. 407 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,476 I'm sorry, children. I was wrong about you. 408 00:19:58,477 --> 00:20:00,882 But I still the flag needs to be changed. 409 00:20:00,883 --> 00:20:05,596 But now I realize that I almost let racism turn me into a racist. 410 00:20:05,631 --> 00:20:09,392 Yeah. You know, uh I suddenly found myself on the side of Klan menbers. 411 00:20:09,393 --> 00:20:11,635 I've never had anything against blacks, Chef. 412 00:20:11,641 --> 00:20:14,512 Oh, I know you don't, Jimbo. I've known you for almost ten years. 413 00:20:14,513 --> 00:20:15,585 You're a good man. 414 00:20:15,595 --> 00:20:17,751 We've been way too divisive over this, Chef. 415 00:20:17,752 --> 00:20:20,052 Maybe we can come up with a - compromise flag 416 00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:22,083 �something that everybody can be happy with. 417 00:20:22,118 --> 00:20:26,464 I think that's a much better start than me tryin' to separate myself from all you wonderful crackers. 418 00:20:28,022 --> 00:20:30,805 Oh. Sweet, dude. I don't think we have to do this stupid debate now. 419 00:20:31,285 --> 00:20:32,393 Stan? 420 00:20:32,428 --> 00:20:35,860 This has been an interesting week in South Park. 421 00:20:35,861 --> 00:20:38,534 We've all done a lot of growing this week. 422 00:20:38,535 --> 00:20:41,670 Everyone was afraid to take a stand on this issue. 423 00:20:41,671 --> 00:20:44,850 But now we have learned once again that black, white, yellow, brown, or whatever, 424 00:20:44,851 --> 00:20:46,959 we are all just people. And so, 425 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,398 I am very excited to unveil our new South Park Flag! 426 00:20:54,829 --> 00:20:56,023 Wait, I don't get it. 427 00:20:56,058 --> 00:20:57,666 No, see? There's people of all colors. 428 00:20:57,667 --> 00:21:00,295 And they added a black guy as one of the hangers, too, so it's not racist. 429 00:21:00,955 --> 00:21:03,272 I have to admit it, that is a lot nicer. 430 00:21:03,307 --> 00:21:05,076 Phew.
