  • CHAPTER 9 SUPER-DUPER TUESDAY There Is a Nomenclature

    CHAPTER 9 SUPER-DUPER TUESDAY There Is a Nomenclature

    CHAPTER 9 SUPER-DUPER TUESDAY There is a nomenclature progression with the first day on which Democratic Party rules permit any state to hold presidential caucuses or a presidential primary. The original name, first used in the 1980s, was Super Tuesday. In 2000, however, when the heavily populated states of New York and California joined the party, the name Titanic Tuesday came into fashion. In 2008, when over 20 states decided to hold presiden- tial caucuses and primaries on that one day, much of the news media began referring to Super-Duper Tuesday. Having a large number of states vote on the same presidential pri- mary election day was the mid-1980s brainchild of the Democratic Leadership Council, a group of moderate southern white Democrats who wanted to see the Democratic Party nominate more southern-oriented and more moderate candidates for president. If a large number of southern states voted on the same day as early in the primary schedule as possible, the logic went, this would give a boost to candidates from southern states. Even if a southerner failed to win in the South on what came to be called Super Tuesday, so many southern states voting on the same day would boost the more moderate Democratic candidates who would be expected to run well in the South. The Democrats found it easy to implement Super Tuesday in the 1980s because most of the state legislatures in the South still had Demo- cratic majorities in both houses. As the Super Tuesday bandwagon started rolling in the mid-1980s, more and more southern state legisla- tures, dominated by the Democratic Party, adopted the second Tuesday in March as their primary day.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

The Multicultural Center has been a place of support and refuge for students, staff and faculty. We have continued to provide programming, education and opportunity for the campus community. However, we have been challenged by the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as heightened Racial and Civil Justice unrest to reframe, redesign, and reimagine our programming. During this time of transition, we were able to pivot and provide over 137 programs, with approximately 15,995 in attendance. We also managed to accommodate over *4,000 visits from students, faculty, staff, and off campus guest, while maintaining an 87% satisfaction rate among our visitors. We think that those numbers are pretty impressive! We’ve had an amazing presence on Social Media as well. We are very proud to say that we truly stand by our motto: Student Centered. Diversity Driven. This year we experienced the death of an unarmed Black Man by police on national television.

    Chapter 14 the Best Presidential Primaries Ever

    CHAPTER 14 THE BEST PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES EVER The 2008 presidential caucuses and primaries were the most demo- cratic and participatory ever conducted. That was as true for the Republi- can contest, although to nowhere near as great an extent, as for the Democratic match up. At no time in United States political history had so many states held relevant caucuses and primaries in which citizens’ votes were actually helping to determine the eventual party nominees. Voter participation levels and voter interest had never been so high. The Democratic contest was staggering in its length, in the number of voters participating, and the amount of money spent. A total of 153 days, exactly five months, went by between the Iowa caucuses on Janu- ary 3, 2008, and the final South Dakota and Montana primaries on June 3, 2008. Hillary Clinton had campaigned 500 days since first announcing her candidacy. Barack Obama had spent 479 days on the campaign trail since first getting in the race. Over 35 million persons voted in those Democratic caucuses and primaries in which there was an official vote count. On radio and television advertising alone, Hillary Clinton spent more than $47 million. Incredibly, Barack Obama almost doubled that amount when he spent upward of $84 million on radio and TV. THE REPUBLICANS In all the excitement over the lengthy and hard-fought Democratic struggle, little attention was paid to the Republican contest. Although John McCain had the nomination wrapped up by Super-Duper Tuesday, many more states than usual participated in his selection. There were six Republican caucuses and primaries prior to Super-Duper Tuesday, and then 22 states voted on the one big day that was Super-Duper Tuesday.
