Following the 2016 presidential election — as the initial shock of President Trump’s victory began to wane — liberals looked to exit polling data, attempting to diagnose the exact factors that had felled Hillary Clinton’s ostensibly sturdy “blue wall.” Almost immediately, the narrative began to center on the white working-class voter, the demographic Trump had overwhelmingly carried by a margin of ​67 to 28 percent​. This aligned with anecdotal evidence, and emphasized the image of the disaffected white voter, who had been alienated by the stereotypical “coastal liberal elite.” News coverage — already prone to over-covering the racialized notion of the “Real American” — accelerated this idea, which posited that Democrats had to soften their advocacy on progressive social issues if they wanted to win elections. However, such a shift in strategy runs the risk of compromising Democratic ideals, particularly on immigration.

In recent days, the ​Pew Research Center has released survey​s that reinforce this point of view and starkly contradict exit polling data. Multiple studies have shown that the ​proportion​ of white voters without a college degree was severely underestimated. Exit polls estimated that the white working class — used here to indicate whites without a college degree — comprised 34 percent of the total 2016 electorate. In reality, they cast 44 percent of votes, a disparity of 13.5 million individuals. Moreover, initial exit polls had concluded that whites with a college degree were the largest demographic in the Democratic party. In fact, non-college-educated whites are the largest bloc of the party’s voters, outnumbering whites with a college degree by 33 to 28 percent.

This is a reckoning for the Democratic party; it repudiates the idea that supposed “elites” are the overwhelming force on the left. At the same time, however, it magnifies the white working-class bloc even more in elections — affirming the beliefs of those advocating that Democrats move further to the center. This is distressing for progressives, who had found solace in viewing the white working class as more or less a lost or relatively unimportant cause, particularly given the overwhelming support for Democrats among nonwhite voters.

The revelation that non-college-educated white voters make up almost half of the electorate could be the impetus for moderating actions, like easing the party stance on abortion or gun control. Conor Lamb, who won a Pennsylvania congressional district that Trump carried by 20 points, marketed himself as this sort of Democrat. In addition to being pro-life and pro-gun, he even ran ads where he explicitly opposed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and her “California liberalism.” However, in the case of a general national election, there is reason to believe these moderating tactics would not suffice, primarily because of one unresolvable issue: immigration.

Social scientists who analyze the cultural divide among electoral voting blocs have focused on immigration as the wedge issue. This is not surprising; Trump harnessed his initial support by taking a hard line on immigration. By arguing broadly against immigration​ — rather than debating policy around reforming the system — he shifted the paradigm surrounding the immigration debate within national politics. Through his championing of a border wall and his denigration of foreigners entering the country, he coalesced the ardent support of non-college-educated white voters.

The immigration debate is a flashpoint into the larger divide between college-educated and non-college-educated white voters. College-educated whites believe that immigrants strengthen the country by a margin of 52 to 35 percent; conversely, 61 percent of white working-class voters — defined by the study in question as whites who did not graduate from college and are paid by the job or by the hour — say that immigrants weaken the nation. ​William Galston of the Brookings Institute​ incisively notes the larger forces at work in these numbers: “working-class whites are experiencing a pervasive sense of vulnerability … on every front — economic, cultural, personal security — they feel threatened and beleaguered.” Trump won these voters by a much larger margin than Mitt Romney did in 2012 because he made immigration an issue of race politics, not of policy. Amongst voters who listed immigration as the biggest issue in the election, 64 percent voted for Trump, compared to 32 percent for Clinton.

Pew’s realization of the magnified influence of non-college-educated white voters, then, is somewhat alarming for Democrats. Looking at immigration as a flashpoint, the argument could be made that attempting to moderate on cultural issues like gun control would not be enough in a general election against a Republican party that has shifted toward the views of extremists like Sen. Tom Cotton, R-AR, on immigration. In the 2012 election, both parties made the question of immigration one of reform. Trump made it a far more personal question: Who belongs in this country? The resonance of his stance is clear; there is still substantial support among Trump voters for a border wall, a physical bulwark for those attempting to hold on to their cultural status.

For Democrats, while the data advocate an even stronger push toward the moderate white voter, the debate regarding immigration could stand as an uncrossable threshold. This ought to catalyze deeper debate regarding strategy in the next general election: Should Democrats be focused on turnout of progressive voters, or persuasion of the elusive “Obama-Trump” voter? This is an incomplete picture and does not acknowledge issues such as racially targeted voter suppression or Russian interference. But the partisan — and cultural — divide between college-educated and non-college-educated white voters implies that the perception of the status of whites in this country was the wedge issue upon which Trump seized support.

Engaging in nativist and racist rhetoric on immigration is obviously a line in the sand that Democrats will not and should not cross. But the resonance of the immigration debate goes far deeper than other cultural issues in voters’ attitudes. The “Obama-Trump” voter, whose vote Democrats so badly covet, may not be persuaded by slight moves to the center from Democrats. And if the Democratic ticket ignores the progressive wing of the party on too many social issues, they risk alienating more voters from the left than they would win over on the right.

Welcome back to another episode of “The Challenge: Vendettas”! After the overwhelming cut shoot edit that was last week, we have a more steadied episode this time around. MTV is gearing us up for a finale and are working hard to make sure we tune in. They are working even harder to promote the latest installment of “The Jersey Shore” and the upcoming season of the “The Challenge: The Reckoning.” It seems MTV will churn out as many seasons of “The Challenge” that they can, and if this season and the previous season, “The Challenge: Dirty Thirty,” are any indicator of the season to come, then lower your expectations. The quality of production is on a decline and has a ridiculously inverse relationship with the budget.

The previous week ended on an uphill battle for our challengers. In a not at all shocking result, Devin and Jemmye proved to be the least athletic male and female competitors, resulting in their elimination. It is disappointing to see such smart, strategic players go out on a challenge that was already done. Given that the original cast of 28 had to race up a mountain, this felt repetitive and unnecessary. After watching various seasons of “The Challenge,” I am very disappointed about the lack of creativity exhibited.

Going from one disappointment to an extreme, TJ Lavin comes back to host another challenge because he needed to thin the herd again. In a bizarre event of physical prowess, the cast had to jump from a moving truck to avoid obstacle towers. Each mistake resulting in additional points and this is one game where you do not want the most points. At this point of the show, there are four women (Cara Maria, Kam, Kailah and Nicole), but six men (Nelson, Zach, Tony, Leroy, Kyle and Brad). As a result, all four women are in the final and the last place male will be going home. Unfortunately that made the latest loser Nelson, he racked up too many points and after a hallmark worthy description of his time, he bid the show a farewell.

Of course that isn’t the end. There’s still five guys left and one has got to go. TJ announced that there will be another Troika of the top three competitors, which encompassed Cara Maria, Kailah and Tony. They had to immediately choose three of the guys for the inquisition, and on the spot they each picked one man. Brad, Leroy and Kyle are up for elimination, with Zach coasting to the final.

In the inquisition Kyle and Brad speil emotions, promises, and maybe even a few tears in true dramatic fashion. Brad emphasizes his two children and his current financial crisis while Kyle appeals to Tony and Cara Maria about how they are his home away from home, whilst layching in the confessional about how he probably has kids out there…somewhere. Leroy really just showed his ass. Instead of kissing the ring or offering reason for him to be safe, he looks at each member of the Troika and tells then that he deserves to not go into the elimination. That they owe it to him. With it being Leroy’s ninth “Challenge,” a lot has changed. He started in the days that vets, especially friends, did not put each other in to the elimination. However, those days have passed and he really rubbed Cara Maria and Tony the wrong way.

With Tony’s betrayal activity at an all time high and Cara Maria shagging Kyle on the regular, it was not a surprise to see Leroy and Brad in the elimination ring. Their excuses were pitiful, but ultimately why did what they thought would be best for themselves. Or in Tony’s case, how to get the best power edit. The elimination was a short one. The male competitors had to break keys out of a wall with weird glove balls, and to the shock of many, Leroy pulled it out. This is the first thing that he has won all season, and he did it sending Brad, a champion, home.

I hope Tony is prepared for vengeance because he is making new vendettas left and right.
Well, that wraps up Episode 13 of “MTV’s The Challenge: Vendettas,” you can tune in every Tuesday night at 9 p.m. and then read my take on the season here at the Niner Times!

Violence. Guns. Murder. Abuse. Rape. These topics can, and should, be quite disturbing. They carry a lot of weight in our society in negative ways. These are not topics that should be ignored nor treated lightly. Recent events in America have proven this to us with school shootings and the #MeToo movement.

However, when these topics are described or shown to us in a Hollywood movie, a video game, a short YouTube video or even a picture on the internet, they are treated as no more than entertainment. We view violence and murder in video games and action movies as exciting. We view pornography and sex as thrilling, even if one’s partner has not consented. News of rape and abuse have simply become news viewed by many and soon forgotten.

Think about the violence filling media. In most video games, a player often has to kill, shoot and destroy on their way to victory. Violence, action, sex and explosions make movies intriguing to audiences — for example, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” Marvel superhero movies and the Bourne film series.

This has been a concern for many and should be to all. As a society, we have been rewired to think murder, violence, abuse and tragic events are nothing more than split second entertainment. We treat them as topics we can simply turn off.

It has become a part of our daily lives, our nightly entertainment and our an escape. We are constantly exposed to it. The average adult today spends eight hours and 41 minutes on digital devices, such as laptops, phones and televisions, according to the Daily Mail. As a result, whether in real life, on the news or in entertainment, we are surrounded by these topics daily.

What’s unfortunate and somewhat terrifying, is that we’ve gotten used to it in our society. These heart-wrenching situations no longer shock us as it should when a building blows up or a gunman takes the lives of several individuals. It only seems to shock us when the event is close to home. If it doesn’t, and if it occurs to people we do not know, we feel close to nothing.

We are losing compassion due to this constant exposure. Society today has brainwashed us to believe what is wrong and horrifying is somehow right and acceptable.

It is time we confront our lack of compassion and view these situations as the horrors they truly are. These topics are not meant to be viewed on our phone screens only. They should prick humanity’s hearts knowing their brothers and sisters are in desperate need. They should be a call to action. They should call to you.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young discussed race and politics on March 27 with Emory’s Schwartz Artist-in-Residence Ross Rossin./Forrest Martin, Senior Staff

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young discussed race, politics and what it means to be “ultimately human” during a public conversation with Emory’s Schwartz Artist-in-Residence Ross Rossin on March 27.

Approximately 800 community members attended the event, titled “Ultimately Human,” at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts.

Young and Rossin discussed how topics such as race and spirituality work to define the idea of being “ultimately human.”

When Rossin asked Young if it was time to forget the idea of race, Young responded with uncertainty.

“I don’t know,” Young said. “The difference is real, and I don’t think we can forget it or overlook it, but I think we can come to appreciate it.”

As Young encouraged the audience to embrace differences among races, he made several references to Martin Luther King Jr., whom he considers a close friend. Young worked closely with King during his time as a civil rights leader and politician. He served as the executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, of which King was the first president. Young also drafted legislation for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was present when King was assassinated in 1968.

“Dr. King’s metaphor was a symphony — a symphony of brotherhood,” Young said. “The diversity of race and culture and history is part of the richness of our tapestry.”

Rossin and Young both recounted times they spent with civil rights activists like Maya Angelou and Desmond Tutu. Rossin asserted that they are ordinary people, but they had extraordinary ideas.

“We’re all ordinary. We’re all mortals,” Rossin said. “Our time here on Earth is limited, but what makes us different is the ideas and the reason for life — the ideas worth dying for.”

Preceding the talk, Young discussed his political experiences and involvement with Emory as Atlanta mayor in an interview with the Wheel.

When asked about Emory’s annexation into the city of Atlanta, Young said he thought the move was inevitable.

“It makes a reality what everybody’s already known,” Young said. “I always figured Emory was a part of the city of Atlanta.”

Young encouraged students to be active in politics.

“In any society, the brightest and the best should have a little more vision and a little more courage to influence at least the direction of society,” Young told the Wheel.

Young also related the experience in politics with one’s sense of spirituality, stating students should not be afraid to take risks.

“We think we are physical beings having a few spiritual experiences, when actually the human reality is that we are spiritual beings and these are just a few physical phenomena that we have to deal with,” Young said. “But ultimately all of us are caught up in a universal spirituality. So, believe in it. You will not die; you will live forever. You have nothing to be afraid of.”

At the conclusion of the program, Stephens and Johnson had the audience participate in an interactive improvised music and poetry piece. About five students were asked to write down a word that summarized how they felt about the event. The students stood in front of the audience as Stephens and Johnson worked together to create a unique piece based off of words such as “resolve,” “tension” and “redemption.”

Emmanuel Wooten (19C) attended the event and participated in the interactive ending art piece.

“In this time of tension and adversity, not just nationally but globally, but even personally for me, I find it so revolutionary and very uncannily timely to have been a part of such an event,” Wooten said.

Jasper Akin (21C) echoed Wooten’s sentiments.

“It sort of opened my eyes to something I don’t really think about in my daily life,” he said. “It’s something I’ll always remember participating in.”

Young summed up his feelings about the meaning of being “ultimately human,” by referring back to his spirituality.

“That’s where we find our ultimate humanity … in our willingness to embrace our spirituality,” he said.

Daniel Nkoola, radio-television-film sophomore, shifts the lens through which audiences receive narratives with his humorous and thoughtful online content.

The Ugandan-born, Fort Worth native has found viral success in his short film productions. Nkoola’s best-known piece is his edgy spin on the PBS series “Arthur,” which now has over 430,000 views on Twitter. In his short time at UT, Nkoola has produced a variety of other videos, all with careful attention to detail.

“When (I) watch movies, I’ve started getting into the habit of asking, ‘Who does this benefit? Who is this for? Who does this serve?’” Nkoola said.

Nkoola has meticulously studied the dynamics of modern media.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the harrowing torture that black bodies often experience on the big screen, such as in the films “12 Years a Slave” and “Detroit.”

“Usually movies that include things like that are surrendering themselves to the white gaze,” Nkoola said. “Because we (black people) are not the ones who need to understand what is real.”

While he acknowledges the potential value in some of those films, he personally aims to produce content that allows his intended audience to experience levity. Nkoola places a great deal of consideration in how he consumes and, by extension, creates content.

While Nkoola’s films are generally more light-hearted, he still accounts for the social dimensions that are at play when it comes to story elements and casting.

“Working with Daniel is a great example of working for a true filmmaker because he is so passionate about what he does,” said Abby Goertz, public relations sophomore who starred in the Valentine’s Day video. “Daniel seems like the kind of guy who was born knowing he wanted to do film.”

Nkoola has been intereseted in video creation since joining his high school’s AV club, creating videos that would be seen across the school on the morning announcements the next day.

“Something about making videos with my friends was super rewarding for me,” Nkoola said.

Due to his deep interest in people, Nkoola initially wanted to study psychology. However, he faced the difficult decision that is familiar to many young creatives: pursuing financial stability or taking the more risky path of pursuing art.

“The idea was you have the dream and then you had the realistic thing,” Nkoola said. “But it got to the point to where employment was so bad for recent graduates that the realistic thing was no more realistic than the prospect of me becoming a filmmaker.”

Nkoola recognizes that using conventional channels of employment in filmmaking is difficult.

“I also, early on, had an understanding that I would have to sort of craft my own path,” Nkoola said. “When someone makes it a certain way, that avenue is probably closed because now that it has been done, everyone is gonna try that.”

For Nkoola, his prevailing platform for publishing his content is Twitter. In the span of just a few years, Nkoola went from making videos about his high school choir’s bake sale to earning the opportunity to interview U.S. Congressman Beto O’Rourke.

— NAKIA was right (Daniel Nkoola ) (@DNkoola) February 6, 2018

Nkoola says at this stage of his life, he enjoys the freedom of being an online creator and not having to answer to a larger production company.

“I do not necessarily want to wait if I am sitting on something I feel proud of,” Nkoola said. “If there is anyone in the world who can get a smile or a bit of pleasure from something I make, I want it to reach them.”

As the landscape for internet film creators shifts, Nkoola has paid careful attention to current production trends, like the desire for a level of accessibility in online content. This is in part why Nkoola has refrained from using his scholarship money to purchase top-of-the-line film equipment.

“(If I do that) I am no longer just some guy,” Nkoola said. “And I think there is value in being just some guy, especially when people watch and they feel they can do what you are doing.”

After the success of his various projects, people reached out to Nkoola telling him they were inspired to create content.

“Especially as a STEM student, I never really get to explore my creative side,” said Angela Kang, a biology sophomore who worked with Nkoola on a “Kids Next Door”-themed photoshoot. “Daniel definitely inspires me to step outside of my comfort zone more.”

Nkoola is currently working on a web series that parodies XXL Magazine’s annual freshman class, a list of 10 rappers who are up and coming in the industry.

The series will feature characters such as Pluckers God, who, according to the project’s casting call, is sponsored by Pluckers Wing Bar, and required by contract to only rap about Pluckers. Like much of his other work, Nkoola aims to provide a fun experience while also accounting for the nuanced interplay of various social dynamics.

Nkoola’s project will critique, among other things, the fact that in real life, only a small portion of the recipients of the career-boosting honor have been women. The closest thing to a protagonist in the series is CLST, pronounced Celeste.

“The whole thing is that she is the only one on this list that is good,” Nkoola said. “As opposed to doing a story where you learn the dangers of misogyny in hip-hop by having CLST endure all sorts of oppressive experiences and ultimately lose at the end, you see her getting to navigate these things.”

The intricacies that Nkoola wishes to explore in the XXL project reflect his overall approach to content creation.

“A lot of these narratives that surrender themselves to explaining the struggle don’t have us winning in the end,” Nkoola said.“I think that’s the difference — how can we talk about these things in cinema and bring awareness in a manner that doesn’t involve just reenacting suffering that is caused by these systems?”

  Encouraging female students and professionals to pursue STEM education and opportunities is more important than ever.

The renowned, Eugene-based artist Keith Achepohl said that his works currently on display in the University of Oregon’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art are “all about the life and death of plants.” The exhibit, “Vision of Nature/Vessel of Beauty,” will remain in the JSMA Barker Gallery until April 29. However, on Feb. 24, the local community learned that Achepohl passed away in his Eugene home while surrounded by family, according to his obituary in the Register-Guard.

“The works in the exhibition represent six years of an artist’s life — in this case, an artist who is nearing the completion of his own life,” Jill Hartz, who co-curated the exhibit, told the Register-Guard in February.

The JSMA exhibit includes nine distinct but related explorations of objects from nature. One exploration is called “Tree Conversations;” another is “Skunk Cabbage.” Each exploration is grouped separately in the gallery and consists of multiple artworks. Achepohl used an impressively wide variety of media including pencil, acrylic, collage and oil to create the pieces.

A three-week residency at the Morris Graves Foundation’s 150-acre forested artists’ retreat on the Northern California coast called “The Lake” inspired Achepohl to create these pieces. Graves was a colleague of Achepohl and an esteemed artist from the Pacific Northwest who died in 2001. According to the Foundation, upon Graves’ death, “The Lake” became a place to incubate artists interested in utilizing the abundance of nature available in the area. In the past, Achepohl had described his residence at “The Lake” by saying it was like “going to a monastery.”

Through its depictions of the smallest natural objects and minute details, the works implore viewers to look at nature in a way they never have before. Many of the paintings show a single decaying leaf, while others show the minuscule fibers of a lively, grassy plant’s root system. The pieces range from intensely detailed to indiscernible and abstract. Achepohl acknowledges life and death equally in these pieces as he uses vibrant earth colors coupled with the muddled blacks and greys of charcoal.

“The closer you get to it, the better experience you’ll have with it,” Achepohl said about the intimacy viewers feel with the natural objects in his paintings during a February interview with UO’s Oregon Humanities Center.

During the OHC interview, Achepohl said he encountered many people while living in Eugene for the past ten years who told him, “I just came back from a walk in the forest.” When he asked them what they saw, Achepohl found that most people were puzzled by the question and simply say that they saw trees.

“Often they don’t know what they saw, ‘cause they didn’t bother to look. Oh, what a waste, you know?” Achepohl said.

During the decade Achepohl lived in Eugene, his ability to meditate on the often forgotten details of life and translate them into his work made an impression on the directors of the JSMA. He served on the JSMA’s Leadership Council and Collections Committee, gifted and loaned numerous works of art from his own collections and participated in many UO classes and museum events.

“It was a joy to see so many of Keith’s friends and family experience his work alongside our community of museum visitors,” read the JSMA’s post on their website following Achepohl’s death.

“Vision of Nature/Vessel of Beauty” is on display through April 29. The JSMA is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. Entry is $5, $3 for people 62 and up and free for members, UO students and faculty.
