Black Student Union condemns Brian Urlacher post on Jacob Blake shooting By Gino Gutierrez @ GGutierrez_48
On Aug. 27, perhaps the most famous football player ever to wear the cherry and silver uniform of the University of New Mexico posted an incendiary screed on Instagram denigrating NBA players’ brief strike of playoff games in protest of police brutality and structural racism. The players’ strike was in response to the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Aug. 23. Blake is paralyzed from the waist down, according to his lawyer, and remains hospitalized as of the publication of this article. UNM’s Black Student Union (BSU) followed with a strongly worded statement, released on social media on Sept. 2, rebuking what they said was Urlacher’s “horrific” interpretation of the events leading up to the near-fatal police shooting of Blake. “We will not support anyone, notable alumni or not, who believes it is acceptable for an unarmed Black man to be shot seven times in his back in front of his children,” the BSU’s statement read. “It is horrific that Brian Urlacher could share memes/propaganda condoning the attempted murder of Jacob Blake.”
Urlacher’s post on Instagram derided the unprecedented strike of NBA players as a political stunt and called into question the motivations behind the players’ public protestations against police brutality. “Brett Favre played the (Monday Night Football) game the day his dad died, threw 4 TDs in the first half and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity,” Urlacher said. “NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife, wanted on a felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police.’’ The BSU dismissed Urlacher’s post outright and stood in solidarity with the UNM football team in decrying his sentiments and blasting what they deemed as an offensive response during a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. “We as the Black Student Union of the University of New Mexico are in full support with the statement made by the UNM football student-athletes,” the BSU said. The UNM football team released a statement on Aug. 28 condemning Urlacher’s remarks. The players highlighted the racial disparities that exist in the U.S., characterized the Lobo alum’s post as “hurtful” and condemned the Kenosha shooting as “target practice.”

Right-wing Rio Rancho residents plan counter-demo to BLM protest By Bella Davis @bladvs

As right-wing violence continues to escalate across the country, a Black Lives Matter counter-protest is organizing online. Black New Mexico Movement (BNMM), a group that formed over the summer, is planning to hold a demonstration on the eve of the late rapper Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder “to call for the same changes Tupac called for many years ago,” the Facebook event page states. Shakur was outspoken about systemic racism and police brutality, having himself been a victim of such violence. In response, an anonymous right-wing Twitter account cre-
ated in June has been promoting a counter-protest The flyer reads “Rio Rancho: Protect Our City” and “BLM New Mexico will be holding a ‘Protest Against Police Racism.’ NOT IN MY CITY.” The account has been active throughout the summer, frequently posting photos from local protests and encouraging who they often refer to as “patriots” to arm themselves. On Aug. 25, the account shared a video reportedly showing a Milwaukee resident shooting at Black Lives Matter protesters, writing, “These people are TERRIFIED of Americans standing up for themselves! Arm yourselves while you still can.” The account also shared two YouTube videos made by a man identifying himself as a Rio Rancho resident. The first video — which
was posted on Aug. 31 and has since been deleted — showed the man standing in front of a movie theater that’s the planned meeting place for the BNMM demonstration. He said that although he “has faith in” and supports Rio Rancho police, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham should request the presence of federal officers. “Governor, the blood will be on your hands,” he said. “Swallow your pride, show that you actually care about this state, maybe even save some face — contact the federal government and ask for those reinforcements.” Federal agents policed Portland, Ore. protests for several weeks, during which time they brutalized and

Students call for firing of UNMPD officer over racist TikTok video By Bella Davis @bladvs Update: UNMPD officer Eric Peer has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the University’s investigation but no final decision has been made, according to University communications officer Cinnamon Blair. Meanwhile, a petition calling for Peer to be fired has gained more than 230 signatures since being created Friday morning. In a now-deleted TikTok video, University of New Mexico Police Department officer Eric Peer recorded a man tiling a floor with a voiceover of Cartman from South Park saying “scanning for Mexicans” edited in. The video circulated on Twitter Thursday night, with some students calling for Peer to be fired. “I think the cop absolutely needs to be fired. There’s no justification to keep him on whatsoever,” Associated Students of the University of New Mexico President Pro Tempore Suha Musa told the Daily Lobo. Musa said she wants to see UNMPD defunded and the money allocated to student resources, but in lieu of that, she said the University and campus police department “need to work with departments on
campus that are actually equityminded and implement intensive training on social issues and discrimination of all kinds.” She said the University should also host forums “so that the campus community as a whole can express what they want to see as the next step.” The UNM Division for Equity and Inclusion released a statement condemning the video on Friday afternoon and said the administration was “investigating the incident to determine appropriate action.” “The Division for Equity and Inclusion denounces this type of behavior, particularly by a public safety officer, and reminds individuals to report any offensive communications via the hate/ bias incident reporting system,” the statement read. “Reports can be made anonymously and are reviewed by the Office of Equal Opportunity.” In a bizarre move coming after the racist TikTok posted by a UNMPD officer, Equity and Inclusion’s Twitter post condemning the video encouraged students, faculty and staff to report hate crimes to UNMPD itself via the hate/bias incident reporting website. Earlier this year, amidst national protests, ASUNM passed a resolution calling for the abolition of the
police and for the UNM administration to address police brutality and issues in the Black community. Other students pointed out on Twitter that UNM is a Hispanicserving institution. “As a minority alumnus of @UNM, this concerns me. When the police look at me, what do they see?” wrote Marco Lueras. UNM President Garnett Stokes addressed the video Friday morning with a brief statement on Twitter. “We are aware of the social media incident related to one of our UNMPD officers and are investigating immediately and appropriately,” Stokes wrote. “@UNM and @unmpd stand against racism and social injustice. Respect and diversity are part of our culture, values and who we are as Lobos.” Musa, who was critical of Stokes after an incident at a protest in June during which state police snipers were seen stationed on the roof of a campus building, wasn’t impressed. “It feels like a message they just have in their back pocket for incidents like these,” Musa said. “It gives us no understanding of what to expect and is an attempt to quiet all the criticism while they figure out what they’re going to do.” ASUNM Senator Emma Hotz,
Zozobra gets roasted By Gabriel Saiz @GSaiz83 SANTA FE — Zozobra and the shredded gloom of 2020 stuffed inside him burned away for the 96th time on Friday, Sept. 4, this year in front of a nearly empty field due to the coronavirus pandemic. “If there ever was a year that deserved to burn, it’s 2020,” Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber said as he kicked off the Zozobra live broadcast. “Old Man Gloom” — a 50-foot marionette of gloom incarnate — burns every year at Fort Marcy Park in Santa Fe in a storm of fireworks and flames. Zozobra dressed to meet the moment, his grey hair speckled with spiky red proteins of coronavirus
and his sleeves fastened with murder hornet cufflinks. And so did the torch bearers, wearing blue scrubs and masks. Zozobra is the “accumulation of all the things we’ve done wrong,” deputy event chair Judith Moir said. This year, a smattering of some 50 journalists, a few Santa Fe city councilors and a couple dozen volunteers and performers provided meager crowd reactions in comparison to the 64,000 people that attended in 2019, according to the official Zozobra website. Usually as the ceremony begins, the crowd would jeer at Zozobra and cry “Burn him!” in thunderous unison. The ceremony would be “competing with the sounds of the crowd,” UNM student Noah Dowl-
ing-Lujan said, who last attended in 2017 with friends. But, the jeers of the offstage performers and several confident journalists couldn’t rise to the levels demanded by Zozobra’s deep growls and guffaws in this year’s edition. Zozobra was full of “glooms” — anxieties, regrets and disappointments — that people submitted online to be burned at the event. Gloom submissions came from every U.S. state and numerous countries, including Canada, Germany and the Philippines, according to the site’s gloom map. The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, a nonprofit centered on serving children, decided that a no-crowd burning would be the safest way to carry on the tradition, accord-

who first posted Peer’s video on Twitter — which at the time of the publication of this article had over 725 likes and 235 retweets — said she wants to see action, not platitudes. “I really hope that we are updated and are able to see what investigations take place and see a course of action taken afterwards,” Hotz said. “I agree that there’s no room for racism on our campus, but that means we have to take action to fight against it.”
Peer did not respond to a message on TikTok requesting comment and has since deleted his account. In response to a request for comment, UNMPD redirected the Daily Lobo to University communications officer Cinnamon Blair who couldn’t be reached for comment as of the time of publication.
ing to a press release signed by event chair Raymond Sandoval on Sept. 3. The burning of Zozobra has historically been a communal event, ever since William Shuster — the creator of Zozobra — held the first burning for his fellow artists in 1924. The Kiwanis Club tried to capture the original spirit of the event by having KOAT broadcast and live stream the burning, as well as inviting journalism outlets to attend in person. Several watch parties popped up in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. “It’s got an even more significant power than other years,” UNM student Alana Williams, who has attended numerous burnings, said in reference to the upheaval and turmoil of 2020. In previous years, “you see a lot of people you know,” Linnea Romero, a UNM student and Zozobra volunteer, said. The burning is always very “community driv-
en,” according to Romero. Between snapping shots and flagging down officials for interviews, the journalists mingled with colleagues, old and new — a trace of the communal setting of burnings past. “People come together and set (sadness and gloom) aside and have a good time,” said Williams, who remembered the long walks to the park, sometimes in the rain, as a “part of the vibe” of Zozobra. After Zozobra’s lolling frame went limp and collapsed into a smoldering pile, the firework finale began set to Maroon 5’s “Memories,” the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.’” A Zia symbol and the word “together” illuminated, marking the end of the burning.

“These issues are more significant than any NBA or NFL game/ player,” the statement from the UNM football team read. “Regardless of someone’s criminal background or prior mistakes in life, we all deserve justice and equality; Lady Justice wears a blindfold, because justice is not intended to be subjective in America. Let us remember that injustice anywhere is a threat to

justice everywhere.” Urlacher’s statements regarding the pervasive state sanctioned violence that targets Black men across the United States prompted acidic levels of outrage from BSU. “Though he is of many throughout the nation who refuse to acknowledge the prejudice and injustices woven within our police system, we expect more from a fellow Lobo,” the BSU said. “We
expect more from a public figure whose banner hangs from our stadium where hundreds of young men who look like Jacob Blake have played and will play.” The BSU also made clear that their statement was not meant to be read as anti-UNM Athletics or critical of student-athletes. “To our UNM student-athletes, please know that the Black Student Union is a safe space for you,
and we value your voices and your lives,” the BSU said. The NBA was not the only major sport in the United States to put its games on hold as an act of protest. Major League Baseball, the National Women’s Soccer League, the National Hockey League and Major League Soccer also joined in the player strike. In the days following Urlacher’s post, both UNM and
the NFL’s Chicago Bears — his former employer — distanced themselves from Urlacher and his comments. Andrew Gunn contributed reporting to this article. Gino Gutierrez is a freelance reporter at the Daily Lobo. He can be contacted at news@dailylobo.com or on Twitter @GGutierrez_48

detained protesters using unmarked cars. One protester was left hospitalized after agents shot him in the head with “less lethal” munitions. President Donald Trump announced in late July that Operation Legend, an initiative launched under the guise of stopping violent crime, would be expanded to Albuquerque. Local and state officials initially condemned the move, with Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller calling it a “re-election strategy.” In the video, the man went on to say that any counter-protesters who come to the demonstration should “seek conversation” but “be prepared, because there is a risk.” The second video, posted the next day, is a response to what the man referred to as “push back” on the first video. He said he welcomes conversation with BNMM organizers, some of whom responded to his first video, but then quickly added, “The thought that Rio Rancho’s going quietly or that I’m just gonna bite my tongue because you guys called me a couple of names? No shot. It’s not happening. It’s not happening.” Throughout the past three months, protesters have been met with attacks from right-wing extremists. On the night of Aug. 25, during a protest in Kenosha, Wis. over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, 17-year-old Kyle
Rittenhouse shot three protesters, killing two. Albuquerque has seen its share of violence, too. During a June 15 protest against a statue of colonizer Juan de Oñate, Trump supporter and former City Council candidate Steven Baca assaulted multiple women before shooting and injuring protester Scott Williams. A Department of Homeland Security document states that “violent extremists who are motivated by white supremacy and other far-right ideological causes” are the gravest terror threat to the United States, Politico reported on Friday. Responding to an inquiry from the Daily Lobo, Annemarie García, the public affairs division manager for the City of Rio Rancho, sent an official statement saying city officials are aware of the planned protest. “We understand it is a privately organized event that will take place on private property,” the statement read. “Our goal is to always ensure the safety and security of our community, the attendees and public/private property in the area. The Rio Rancho Police Department respects and supports the right to speak freely and to assemble peaceably. We encourage all participants, and those present, to be respectful of each other and to any businesses in the area.” Local protests have not resulted

in widespread property damage. On May 31, hours after a peaceful Black Lives Matter march ended, a small group of people vandalized and looted a few downtown businesses. The organizers of the march were not involved and quickly took to social media to condemn the individuals responsible. Even so, concern about property damage has been used as an excuse by right-wing groups to monitor pro-
tests. The New Mexico Civil Guard — a militia founded by a man who spent most of his adult life as an avowed neo-Nazi, as New Mexico In Depth reported — was present at several protests under the facade of protecting life and property. Organizers with BNMM have repeatedly emphasized that they are a peaceful group that doesn’t support property damage or violence. “Black New Mexico Movement
loves the city of Albuquerque and the state of New Mexico,” organizer Te Barry said. “We would never want to destroy what we call home. That’s why, still to this day, we have not burned or broken anything, nor have we been the violent group.” Bella Davis is a senior reporter at the Daily Lobo.

‘Mulan’ excels with strong heroine and breathtaking visuals By Lissa Knudsen @lissaknudsen I had the privilege — after paying $30 on top of my Disney+ subscription — of watching the new live action version of Mulan over the Labor Day weekend. And, despite much vitriolic criticism and scathing reviews, I found it to be a gorgeous, uplifting brain break during a socially distanced pandemic that has been grinding on for far too long. Though the movie has garnered a number of angry, bitter commentaries about how the movie was “too politically correct” — for insisting on having an exclusively Chinese and Mongolian cast — and the dialogue was ”underwhelming,” I thought it was a gorgeous cinematic feat that had less cultural appropriation and more realism than the original animated version of the movie. In a year where the nation’s president has tried to capitalize on tribalism and turn the country’s citizens against Chinese people with racist buzz words like “kung flu,” it was comforting to see friendly, familiar faces in high profile actors like Ming Na Wen (who played Jing-Mei “Deb” Chen in the TV show “ER”) and Tzi Ma (who played the father in 2019’s indie hit “Farewell”). Though I yearned for the movie dialogue to be in Mandarin Chinese (with subtitles), I appreciated that the English script made the story more accessible to a United States audience. A number of reviewers have critiqued the dialogue as stilted and lacking in flow, but I read that as indicative of the obtuse, insensitive jump Hollywood consistently tries to make when imposing a Western communication style on stories from other cultures. Unlike English, Chinese communication styles have long been documented as relying on implicit contextual cues rather than explicit verbal dialogue. Despite the Americanization, Chinese symbolism and values were woven into the story with much more skill than I have seen previously. “Mulan” appeals to the viewer because it centers the idea of being true to oneself — not pretending to be something you aren’t, even when it feels like the consequences of being genuine will be dire.
It almost goes without saying that another plus for the movie is that it joined the ranks of films that actually pass the Bechdel test, an assessment used to measure the representation of women in fiction. The criteria for the test are that the movie has to have at least two women in it, those two women have to talk to each other at some point and the theme has to be about something other than a man. “Mulan” not only meets these criteria but refreshingly downplays the typical hetero love interest and instead highlights the woman-to-woman anti-hero and hero interplay between Xianniang, a powerful witch character, and Mulan. Beyond these empowering themes, I also loved the film for its visual appeal. The costumes and the cinematography were irrefutably breathtaking. Australian Mandy Walker — who also was the director of photography for “Hidden Figures,” “The Mountain Between Us,” “Truth” and “Australia” — outdid herself with soaring drone footage of acres of green rice paddies, light-refracting bamboo forests, majestic mist-covered mountains, ochre-colored sulfurous hot springs surrounded by geysers of steam and a dramatic use of color as Mulan emerges in her blood-red garb against a backdrop of white snow. And if that still hasn’t convinced you to put “Mulan” on your viewing list, the movie also succeeds because it’s notably less fantastical than the animated musical version. By dropping the anthropomorphized, talking sidekick characters that break into scenery-chewing songs every five minutes, the story becomes much more believable. That’s not to say there isn’t still a generous portion of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” style magical realism, with warriors racing across rooftops and performing gravity-defying martial arts maneuvers. But it just felt more grounded and honest, which helps make the case that it's not such an inconceivable idea that women can lead, women can be physically and mentally strong and women can be heroic. “Mulan” — especially if you wait until December, when the premium price tag drops off — is a viewing investment that’s worth making.

Sandia Labs employee rails against critical race theory in lab-wide email By Bella Davis @ bladvs Sandia National Laboratories employee Casey Petersen sent out a lab-wide email on Aug. 25 that contained a self-made YouTube video titled “Pushing Back on the Narrative of Modern Systemic Racism & White Privilege.” In the two weeks since the racist video was sent out, Petersen has drawn support from conservative commentators while Sandia Labs leadership have yet to publicly condemn the video. In the hour-long diatribe, Petersen makes a series of claims that antiracism training doesn’t belong in the workplace and that systemic racism isn’t a major problem in the modernday United States, among others. A former Sandia Labs employee — who spoke with the Daily Lobo on the condition of anonymity — said that a few hours after the video was sent out, he received an email from executive leadership saying the video wasn’t authorized to go to the entire workforce of roughly 14,000 people. But the email failed to condemn the content of the video.
The former employee said that although leadership has been proactive in sending out resources and holding training sessions over the past few months, their silence about the video spoke volumes. “The problem is that (the lack of a response) implicitly endorses this perspective or gives fuel to those who hold these problematic beliefs within the labs,” he said. Petersen ended the video by encouraging like-minded people to voice their opinions in their own workplaces, saying, “Now is the time to speak up. This is your call to action. It takes courage. It may be uncomfortable. It may be inconvenient. But the consequences for not speaking out are far worse.” The central target of his video’s ire was trainings that he said started after the police killing of George Floyd. Many of them have reportedly been based on critical race theory, which Petersen calls “un-American.” Appearing on Fox News on Sept. 1, Christopher Rufo, director of the Center on Wealth, Poverty and Morality at the Seattle-based conservative think tank Discovery Institute, argued that trainings based on critical race theory at federal
agencies should be ended immediately, telling host Tucker Carlson that the theory is “being weaponized against the American people.” Days earlier, Rufo wrote about Petersen’s video in a lengthy Twitter thread, saying there is “a civil war erupting at Sandia Labs.” He wrote that in sending out the video, Petersen was “hoping to spark a rebellion against Sandia executives.” Rufo went on to say that Petersen’s video “is the first shot in the rebellion against critical race theory in the federal government.” On Friday, Sept. 4, President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to end trainings on white privilege and critical race theory, calling them “divisive, anti-American propaganda,” NPR reported. Sandia Labs, being one of three National Nuclear Security Administration research laboratories in the country, will presumably be affected by the new order. After requesting comment from the Sandia Labs, the Daily Lobo was redirected to the U.S. Department of Energy, which didn’t respond to multiple inquiries and left the question of how the Petersen video and virulent spread of racist sentiment

within the labs will be handled. According to a follow-up video posted on Aug. 26, Petersen was placed on paid administrative leave shortly after he sent out the video. “I was NOT fired from Sandia National Labs and will be returning to work on an uncleared basis until the ethics investigation is complete,” Petersen wrote on his personal Twitter account on Sept. 4. “Met with investigators yesterday for a nearly two hour interview that went great.” It’s unclear how Petersen was able to send out a lab-wide email. The former employee who spoke
with the Daily Lobo said it’s not an easy task, as most employees don’t have access to large email listservs, which brought him to speculate about Petersen’s true motives behind his push against anti-racism trainings. “If a person felt so strongly to disseminate this, where do his true beliefs about race and white supremacy lie?” the former employee asked.

UNM getting the bands back together By Beatrice Nisoli @BeatriceNisoli
University of New Mexico bands haven’t practiced in person since August but are set to resume faceto-face rehearsals after Labor Day with the assistance of new, custom-made masks and socially distanced protocols. Associate professor Chad Simons, who is the associate director of bands and director of UNM Athletic Bands, said that rehearsals will be limited to 30 minutes and band members will be enlisting a number of strategies to prevent the potential spread of the virus. “Groups of between eight to 15 members (will be) outside, under
tents, socially distanced (six to nine feet depending on the instrument) with each member wearing a mask and bell covers fitted to all instruments,” Simons said of the new restrictions on rehearsals. According to Simons, these precautions were adopted following an aerosol study conducted by scientists at Colorado State University and the University of Maryland funded by the College Band Directors National Association and other professional music organizations across the nation. These plans (including the incorporation of specialized masks) have been approved by the UNM administration. Gabriel Padilla, a freshman majoring in music education, added, “Each player is required to wear a
mask at all times and have a cover on the bell, where the sound and condensation come out. There must be a ‘puppy pad’ or a towel under the brass player for brass players to drain the condensation from their instruments.” Jenny Snedeker and Cameron Anderson, who received master’s degrees in music performance from UNM in May, have been creating masks since COVID-19 first hit New Mexico and recently specialized their design to accommodate the playing of a wind instrument. Prior to the pandemic, neither individual had any sewing experience. “As musicians, the only thing we had left to do was perform our recitals, but all of those got canceled. So the rest of our semester got canceled,” Snedeker said. “We took that

free time to make masks and sent them to family and friends around while we were finishing our degrees.” According to Snedeker and Anderson, the masks were carefully crafted with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines at the forefront and with the inspiration of Anderson’s mother’s past experience as manager in a fabric store. Once the duo gradually gained confidence with their craftsmanship skills, they began planning prototypes for masks adapted for musicians, which have since been distributed to professors and peers in the music program. There are currently two separate designs: one specifically for flutes and one for all other wind instruments. The masks are made with two layers of 100% cotton fabric and cover the nose while accommodating a miniature slit around the mouth to allow the instrument easy access. A flap is included that covers the slit when an instrument isn’t being played. “We spent a long time working on the prototype and wanted them to be perfect for our band. We were perfectionists with them,” Snedeker said. Having these masks will enable the band to play together or in an ensemble. Both Anderson and Snedeker agreed that it is nearly impossible to replicate an ensemble setting in a virtual or solitary format. “You can practice your technique and intonation, but the only way to gain ensemble skills is to be in an ensemble setting,” Snedeker said. “When online, you can sit there and get every note right in a piece, but you can’t adjust the intonation or tempo on the fly.”
Jenny Snedeker uses a specially-designed mask that allows her to play the flute without having to remove the mask.
Anderson and Snedeker recalled that UNM closed down in March shortly after their preview performances done in preparation for the actual recital, which is considered the culminating event of the master’s degree process. Anderson said they feel as if they have been “hanging in anticipation” since then after having to put such a large part of their lives on hold for six months. “Being able to communicate with administration to design something that will work for musicians and directors is so rewarding. We wanted to help everyone else continue their education and see it through,” Snedeker said. In addition to the specialized musical masks, Anderson and Snedeker hope to tailor facial coverings for singers, such as one that would prop out the cloth to create room around the mouth and facilitate jaw movement, and a bell cover to cover air flow within instruments. Snedeker expressed appreciation for her education at UNM, which she said coached her openness to learning new skill sets. “We had never used sewing machines or studied business before, and now we’re just doing it,” she said. “I realize the value of my education that has taught me how to research reliable sources and learn how to educate myself and learn how to be bad at something first so I can then be better.” Anderson agreed, adding, “Don’t let anything stop you. You will pick things up real quick when you put your mind to it.” Beatrice Nisoli is a senior reporter at the Daily Lobo. She can be contacted at news@dailylobo.com or on Twitter @BeatriceNisoli
