First Round of Online Debates by PeaceDebates.com

REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR FIRST ROUND OF ONLINE DEBATES - Starting in May 2026

I, Pete Lorins (a/k/a "Dr. Pete"), a proud American and Black Republican, will be debating Rick Manning, another proud American and White Republican about RACE & MAGA. We have had many commonalities and differences over the past recent years, but never ONCE had we disrespected one another. Rick often shares posts on racial issues that highlight Black crimes and fallouts. And, on the other hand, often share posts that accentuate faux pas made by Whites, Blacks and other categories alike. Nevertheless, we always show respect towards each other, and we both have a profound love for America and love/respect for each other. In fact, we even say "I love you, brother" to each other more often than not.

THINK YOU ARE SMART? COME DEBATE DR. PETE or HIS GUESTS!

Rick and I are an example of the America that I want to live in. This is the TABLE OF BROTHERHOOD that Dr. King dreamt about. It doesn't mean that there won't be disagreements at the table, but how we handle them (i.e., our disagreements) tell a lot more about our character than our race does. We don't have to be DISAGREEABLE to prove a point. Recently people at all points on the political spectrum have been sort of "losing it" if you ask me.

On my end, I can get very passionate about many topics and race, politics and abortion happen to be three of my top ones, but never once have I intended to disrespect anyone. And if I do/did, I do apologize. Lately, you can add domestic violence and murder-suicides, particularly those committed against family members in domestic violence situations to my list of topics of interest. But over the years, I have fostered opportunities to promote discussions on race behind the scenes all over the country. I have helped many come up with paradigms for RACE-BASED DISCUSSIONS on National TV (e.g., Dr. Phil and Oprah) and have catalyzed millions of discussions on RACE online all over the World. However, recently, I decided to be at the forefront of such discussions.

I believe that STEEL sharpens STEEL. If you're SHARP and INTELLECTUALLY ADROIT, you shouldn't be disturbed by the realities/hurdles of life or by others' attacks and criticisms. They should act as PROOFS of your level of preparedness. And how much you learn from them tells yet another layer about your maturity and wisdom as a person. Many of you expected me to return sheer disrespect to disrespectful people on social media. I don't do that... I will correct and block if I must, but I know who I am. I am a DARN AMAZING HUMAN-BEING thanks to GOD and others' immaturity don't get to define the content of my heart, mind and soul. So, whatever others think of me as mere mortals is quite inconsequential to my self-esteem or self-worth (smile.)

HOWEVER - if you happen to believe that you're AS BRIGHT as I am (or dare to believe that you're even smarter), I challenge you to DEBATE ME any time. STOP pontificating on Facebook with those that have no depths and breadths. I have learned from THE BEST that his country and the World have to offer. I have even visited elders in ghettoes that many of you would never care to visit to get FIRST-HAND knowledge. I have no HNIC - Head N*** In Charge issues. I love to see all people do well, especially those who of my race who were racially dehumanized then disenfranchised as a remnant of slavery as the World's most profitable business model which solidified White Supremacy Worldwide.

Everyone will be invited to participate as AUDIENCE MEMBERS in such debates as well and will be allowed to ask questions to the DEBATERS. Please be RESPECTFUL and FACTUAL. No conspiracy theories please. We are intellectuals and thus base our philosophical reasonings on research, facts and scientific proof.

I will DEBATE ANYONE. I will even DEBATE thugs, KKK members and DONALD J. TRUMP online or offline. If You think you're SMART... PROVE IT!

Bring you A-Game. You Pick the Topic. I challenge you to PROVE ME WRONG and if you do, I'll admit it! You'll need it.

 Let's GO!
