Students COMMUNITY PROTESTS FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER, NEVER AGAIN rethink society at annual TEDx event Briana Canady and Zane Crowell The Pitt News Staff
A man disagrees with demonstrators at Saturday’s #NEVER AGAIN X #BLACKLIVESMATTER protest. Thomas Yang VISUAL EDITOR
John Hamilton Managing Editor “What do we want? Gun control! When do we want it? Now!” “No justice, no peace. No racist police.” Both of those chants are common refrains heard in countless protests across the country — the former at gatherings calling for stricter gun laws and the latter at rallies condemning police brutality. But a group of high school students organized a protest — called #NEVERAGAIN X #BLACKLIVESMATTER — aimed at connecting the two themes Saturday. About 100 protesters marched through Oakland late that afternoon, chanting and waving signs with slogans that brought attention to both police
shootings of unarmed black men and demands for stricter gun control. Led by the Youth Power Collective, protesters marched onto the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard, where they sat silently for between five to 10 minutes, blocking traffic. They then marched west down Fifth, turned onto South Bouquet Street and marched east down Forbes Avenue before forming a standing circle at the intersection of Forbes and Bigelow. High school student Nia Arrington led many of the chants, her voice cracking toward the end of the hour-long protest. “If you think police are not part of gun violence, you are the problem,” she yelled into a megaphone. “Police vio-
lence is gun violence.” Chelsea Calfo, 18, took part last month in a walkout at her high school, organized to protest lawmakers’ inaction on gun control after the shooting in Parkland, Florida. But she said the Black Lives Matter movement was excluded from the conversation in the walkout and in the Never Again movement, which was started by Parkland survivors. Bridget Deasy, 18, also came to the protest to show support for people of color who feel excluded from the current gun control movement. “All students of all colors and all races — we are fed up,” Deasy said. The march was briefly interrupted by a man who said it was disruptive. See Protest on page 2
Growing up in the South Side of Chicago, Jasiri Oronde Smith’s childhood was “100 percent black.” His friends, his neighbors and his family were all African-American. Then his family moved to Pittsburgh in the ’80s while he was still in high school. He met with racism and discrimination as a student at Gateway High School, which motivated him to found a club there called “Our Culture” to represent minority students. “We petitioned our school, and we got our school to teach its first black history class, and I was off as an activist,” Smith said. Smith told his story to a group of 130 people in the William Pitt Union as part of Pitt’s fourth annual TED event Saturday afternoon. The theme of this year’s event — which was independently organized and run by students — was (Re)think. Four local speakers from different fields shared their perspectives about how people can “rethink” what they know. Smith, also known as Pittsburgh-based rapper and activist Jasiri X, was the first speaker at the event. He recounted how he continued his activism later in life, when he began incorporating his beliefs into his music. He posted a song to MySpace called “Free the Jena Six” in 2007, which tells of six black teens in Jena, Louisiana, charged with attempted second-degree murder for beating a white student who had allegedly made a racist joke. Many people claimed the charges were excessive. Smith’s song ended up receiving widespread exposure, and he went to Jena to perform his song — with 50,000 other people protesting to drop the charges against the students. See TEDx on page 6

Thomas Yang VISUAL EDITOR Though he considered himself a “leftist” and said he was a Bernie Sanders donor, he thought the protest — which was preplanned and police-escorted — was interfering with working people. Deasy said the protest brought more awareness to the work students are doing on these issues. She said “even the man

who didn’t agree with us” now knows how they feel. Many of the chants and signs called on people who agreed with the protest’s messages to be more active in calling for change. “You can’t sit at home and watch CNN and cry about gun violence,” she said.

Don’t let Remington fool you
Forcing a gun manufacturer into declaring bankruptcy might sound like an undeniable victory for gun control activists — particularly when that manufacturer is Remington, America’s oldest gun manufacturer, and when that announcement came just one day after the March for Our Lives March 24. But the announcement that the nearly $1 billion company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy comes with an asterisk — filing well-planned bankruptcy can often delay pending litigation in class-action lawsuits. In Remington’s case, the manufacturer of the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle used in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, this could mean pending litigation headed to the Connecticut judiciary will be delayed until the company emerges from the bankruptcy process. The litigation in question was headed to the Connecticut Supreme Court in November 2017 after lower courts rejected the gun manufacturer’s request to dismiss the case. Remington holds it cannot be found guilty in the wrongful death case under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act passed in 2005, which protects weapons manufacturers from liability for crimes committed with their products. But the PLCAA doesn’t protect manufacturers from defective product claims, criminal misconduct or negligent entrustment of a weapon in the hands of someone who could pose a threat. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a specific kind of debt restructuring permitted in the U.S. bankruptcy code. Because it requires corporate restructuring, impending litigation can be delayed if the defendant files for Chapter 11 — a well-known proce-

dure first popularized by the once-largest manufacturer of asbestos in the world, the Johns-Manville Corporation. Facing numerous injury suits from individuals who suffered from asbestos poisoning, JohnsManville soon became Manville, a corporation still in the roofing and insulation business. The move won’t stop Remington from continuing to produce guns, nor will the move alone impact profit margins. Colt, a firearms company that supplies the U.S. military with the M4 rifle and that invented the AR-15 rifle, filed bankruptcy in 2015 and emerged in 2016 seemingly unscathed — valued at more than $250 million in 2016. Widespread marches and demonstrations, as well as pressure on lawmakers to reject gun lobbyist contributions and pass more comprehensive gun control legislation, have made a real impact on sales for these companies. Remington reported nearly $1 billion in debt — an amount equal to its net worth — by late 2017. And while the company is not publicly traded, its publicly traded rival, Sturm, Ruger & Company, fell nearly 3 percent after Remington announced its bankruptcy — down almost 15 percent for the fiscal year. Activism has thus far driven change in the gun industry, but the battle between the public and its firearms manufacturers is only just beginning. Remington’s move displays real financial struggle on its part, but also signifies a tactical decision — the lawsuits pending as a result of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting pose a threat to the company’s continued success, and evading lawsuits like them may be the industry’s only chance at staying afloat.
CHURCH NEEDS MORE THAN THE BIBLE TO CONVINCE AN ATHEIST Neena Hagen Senior Columnist As I nervously opened the large glass doors of North Way Christian Community last Sunday and stepped inside, I looked around and breathed a sigh of relief — jeans were indeed an acceptable clothing choice. People drinking coffee and sitting at tables before the service started upstairs gave an almost coffee shop vibe to the church. This was not the straitlaced, stern experience I expected from my first church service. Since I was a young child, most people in my life have dismissed Christian beliefs as mere superstition. My classmates would laugh at the idea of an all-powerful, invisible man in the sky. My parents regarded the Bible as a silly fairy tale, and many of my teachers seemed determined to paint all Christians as members of a fanatic, right-wing cult. Immersed in this echo chamber, I fell in line with these ideas — sneering at religious dogma while not realizing that I also had succumbed to narrow-minded thinking. I could feel myself shaking as I plodded up the steps to the church where the service took place — fearing that church attendees would judge me for being an atheist the way I had judged everyone who was religious. But much to my surprise, churchgoers at North Way Christian Community in Oakland welcomed me with open arms

and showed none of the pretentious, cultish behavior my friends had warned me about. Instead, the people there seemed open-minded and ready to accept anyone, no matter their level of faith. And though it never had before, the appeal of church immediately became obvious to me. Still, a warm church doesn’t mean a logically sound ideology — a case for the divinity of God is unconvincing if the only sources to back it up are from the Bible. Scott Stevens, the head pastor of North Way, delivered the sermon — the last of a three-part series entitled “Impossible Conspiracy.” The three parts embodied the three classic pillars of Christ’s character — he is “the way, the truth, and the life” — and each of the sermons attempted to show how Jesus’ divinity cannot be a conspiracy. In the sermon that Sunday, he attempted to show that early passages from the Old Testament in the Bible prophesied Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. He referenced Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in the New Testament, where his followers lauded him as the “Lamb of God.” The lamb is symbolic of the Passover lambs Jews sacrificed every Passover since their exodus from Egypt in the Old Testament. The point of the sermon was to show that details supporting Jesus as the “Lamb of God” in the New Testament See Church on page 4

Church, pg. 3 line up very precisely with those in the Passover narrative of the Old Testament — even down to the hour Jesus arrived in Jerusalem. Stevens pointed to the almost novellike consistency with which the early verses of the Bible referenced a messiah or savior, saying centuries’ worth of historical predictions like those about the Passover lamb prove Jesus’ divinity. But his argument that Jesus was a real person whose teachings were divine wouldn’t convince anyone who is not already a Christian. Atheists don’t believe in the divinity of the Bible, so citing only the Bible to prove Jesus Christ’s divinity while ignoring all other historical texts reeks of circular logic to them. A text that aims to promote Christianity as an absolute truth and moral authority is too biased to accurately detail any event from history — unless more objective historical documents can confirm the events took place. Numerous biblical scholars have shed doubt on the idea that Jesus even existed
pittnews.com
Jordan Mondell CONTRIBUTING EDITOR at all. Some, like John Dominic Crossan of St. Patrick’s College in Ireland, argue the only fact historians can agree on is that Jesus existed in the first place — they can’t detail any aspects of his life. Given academics’ disagreement over the authenticity of Jesus’ story, it seems churches must cite religious texts in conjunction with other historical documents to put forth an empirical argument for their faith — an approach that would surely lure more atheists and skeptics to Christianity. Though many Christians argue we don’t need to prove the Bible is 100 per-
cent historically accurate to follow its teachings. Timothy Freke, a best-selling author of countless books about religion and spirituality, echoes this philosophy. He believes Christians should not be outraged if Jesus never existed in the first place. “It’s a teaching story,” he said. “What we’re saying is that the Jesus story is an allegory. It’s a parable of the spiritual journey.” Still, it’s difficult for atheists to embrace a complete moral authority when the evidence presented for the existence
April 2, 2018
of its prophet seems dubious. Without the word of God infused into it, the Bible is little more than a work of literature — and Jesus is no more than a forgettable protagonist. So if Christians can’t prove the divinity of their Messiah, atheists have no reason to unilaterally follow his teachings any more than they would derive their morals from a random novel. It’s not just Christians who are at fault though. Both sides of the debate must put aside their own judgments and dogmas about the opposition. If Christians must open their minds to texts outside of the Bible, atheists must admit the Church can be a force for good — instilling cultural values and enhancing interpersonal bonds between regular attendees. Any community or organization — religious or otherwise — should aim to emulate North Way’s level of camaraderie. But if Christians continue to present unconvincing arguments for their faith, current atheists will continue to be skeptics of religion — and I’ll keep spending Easter hopping around in my bunny costume instead of going to church.

COLLEGE SPORTS DESERVE DIVERSE LEADERSHIP
Jordan Mondell
Assistant Sports Editor Not only is Pitt’s new men’s basketball head coach Jeff Capel a star recruiter and successful tournament coach, he brings something to Pitt that the program has never seen before. Diversity. Specifically, Capel — a black man — is the first-ever head coach of any minority status to oversee the team. This isn’t unusual in college sports, and that’s a problem. A 2017 study conducted by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida found that roughly 25 percent of men’s Division I basketball coaches were of color, with 22 percent being black. The numbers are similar for college football, with only 11 percent of FBS coaches being black — only 14 out of 129 programs. The numbers in coaching don’t seem all too startling at first, considering they closely reflect overall demographic trends in the United States. But when you look at who’s playing on the court and the field, the leadership disparity becomes alarmingly clear. According to the same study, 72.9 percent of Division I basketball players and 58.7 percent of football players are nonwhite. This means most athletes of color are led by individuals who do not look like them. This gap is comparable to a growing subject of research in the world of education and academia that explores the importance of minority teachers. This gap likely contributes to racial disparities in academic and personal performances and motivation and can be easily applied to the world of sports. A study published in the journal Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis in

The NCAA has taken steps toward hirswitch to receiver. Jackson has the stats to ing equality, though it’s been relatively noncommittal. In September 2016, the NCAA asked its members to sign a nonbinding pledge “to specifically commit to establishing initiatives for achieving ethnic and racial diversity, gender equity and inclusion with a focus and emphasis on hiring practices.” Many athletic directors signed, but one said they had not seen it, one blamed technical difficulties and some schools — like Notre Dame — claimed the pledge didn’t go far enough. Though the petition is an admirable step, it doesn’t do much in a quantifiable sense — any department could sign the pledge and continue on without any action occurring.

social categorizations are more fully recognized. She said her goal is to get people to identify with the “hyphens” in their lives, meaning she wants them to embrace the nuances in their identities. “I am not Indian or American. I am not Indian and American. I am Indian-American,” Neti said. But Neti said making assumptions about people based solely on their gender, race or other social categories doesn’t reveal everything about them and that intersectionality also needs to recognize individual experiences. Because of these differing experiences, Neti emphasized the importance of using intersectionality and individuality to find solutions for issues in American society. “The problems that we face now and the problems that we continue to face in the years to come — global warming, climate change, the ‘dumpster fire’ that is in our nation’s capital right now — are intersectional, and so our solutions have to be [intersectional] as well,” Neti said. Carnegie Mellon University’s chair of design studies, Dan Lockton — also head of CMU’s imaginaries lab, a research group at CMU that focuses on building designs and mental models that explore ways in which people think — spoke last, discussing how technology shapes American society.
Before he was employed at CMU, Lockton worked on product design projects in London. While there, he became more interested in how tools, such as apps that instruct people to exercise or sensory brakes for inattentive drivers, affect the way people operate in society. He told the crowd they should try to see tools as a way to recreate society rather than allowing them to dictate it. “It’s the idea that we design things, but actually the stuff that is designed ends up designing our lives to some extent,” Lockton said. Lockton said he hopes the work being done by imaginaries lab will be able to “change the behavior of the system we’re in rather than our behavior being changed by design.” As of now, the lab has several projects underway, including studying qualitative data in order to help people explore their own and each other’s thinking and their relationships and agency with systems. Hamed Safi, a first-year political science and history major in attendance said events like TEDx are interesting because it’s a way to understand the world around her outside of a classroom environment. “You can go out and do things on your own time and hear what other people have to say about things,” Safi said. “It’s just a really good way to broaden your horizon.”

I was on stage with Al Sharpton and Dick Gregory and Ice Cube, and the song became the theme to the movie [The Jena Six], the charges were dropped … and I saw how powerful art could be when it was connected to a social movement,” he said. Smith said earlier in life he would often try to fight people who would discriminate against him, but he found that music and activism were better outlets. “So to those people of color and those labeled others, I would ask you to organize, speak out, push back, do something, say something. You might just find your life’s purpose,” Smith said. Konstantinos Pelechrinis, an associate professor of computer science at Pitt, spoke after Smith about the future of public transportation in America. Pelechrinis is involved in the Pitt Smart Living Project, an initiative that intends to improve the quality of public transportation within Pittsburgh. Rather than just increasing the efficiency of buses and trains, Pelechrinis said cities need to focus primarily on making public transportation a more attractive option for people. “We have become prisoners of time, and we
feel stressed to reach our destination as fast as possible,” Pelechrinis said. “The smart thing to do is change this mind-set and start considering what will improve the quality of life for people.” According to Pelechrinis, the stigma surrounding public transportation makes it difficult to get people to use it. This can lead to a cycle in which public transit services continuously get worse because of lack of use and funding — shortchanging the people who rely on it entirely. Pelechrinis said while most cities look toward congestion pricing — a system of surcharging during peak hours to manage demand — Pitt Smart Living Project is focusing on using products from local businesses to incentivize individuals to use public transportation more often or wait for the next bus or train if the first one they’re trying to catch is full. “You use an incentive from your favorite local coffee shop, you go and get a free coffee or pastry, interact with the other people that are there and possibly meet your future spouse,” Pelechrinis said. “What a great story that would be.” Satvika Neti, a digital social justice advocate at the Women and Girls Foundation, spoke after an intermission about how society is moving toward a more intersectional future where interconnections between race, class and other
