It is IMPOSSIBLE for negros to have straight hair. Don't try to tell me you saw a dark-skinned in Africa with straight hair...she wasn't a negro.

Because there is no objective standard for beauty and no standard look for humans to have, it is therefore sufficient to simply say: "Black chicks with straight hair do not look absurd." 

If Pro's argument was 'Black chicks with straight hair look absurd to me', we would have no point of debate. 
As it stands, Pro seeks to cement his subjective interpretation of beauty as the new objective standard. I do not grant Pro this liberty, therefore, all subjective interpretations are valid, ergo black chicks do not look absurd with straight hair.

Pro may or may not be correct that blacks are unable to have naturally straight hair. But this does nothing to speak to the claimed absurdity of blacks artificially straightening their own hair. 

This debate is nothing more than Pro making a statement of opinion and trying to convince you that it is objective truth. I think I have made my case that opinion is not objective and therefore Pro has lost this debate.

Some people are thick-headed. Since it is impossible for Blacks to have straight hair, OBVIOUSLY they are going to look absurd with straight hair.

RishiD123Judge: RishiD123
Win awarded to: ItWasTaken
Reasoning:
I am awarding this win to Con because Pro was not able to provide any reason whatsoever to prove his claim that "Black chicks with straight hair look absurd". Also as Con said beauty is a subjective quality of the world which cannot be argued from an objective lens. Lastly the sentiments rooted within Pro's argument seem to stem from racism which is not at all acceptable to use in a debate to justify your claims.

GekkJudge: Gekk
Win awarded to: ItWasTaken
Reasoning:
ItWasTaken was quite clear in that there is no evidence to prove the assertion that is being made. With looks being subjective and no evidence provided as to why a person of African American descent would not be able to be born with straight hair it is clear there is very little to debate.

Feedback:
David Nichols in the future should present evidence for his assertions and provide examples to support his claims. His claims seem to be completely based on Pathos which is emotion or specific values which will actually hold very little weight. A good debate should include persuasive arguments that includes ethos, pathos, and logos methods as outlined by Aristotle. David will have a very difficult time winning any debates otherwise or even validating a single point.

ZackDavis1997Judge: ZackDavis1997
Win awarded to: ItWasTaken
Reasoning:
ITwasTaken argued the points and showed that this debate was opinionated only, and what his view was. And David Nichols posted just short arguments. and more of the format of commenting then arguing.

Feedback:
ITwasTaken, if you could show statistics for straight hair as well as define what it takes to be black, their are mixed girls who are still considered black by ethnicity. David you have more time to post and have an availability to post longer arguments, use it.
