OMAHA, NE – A Hillary Clinton Campaign office in North Omaha fired a Black Parent for picking up her kids at a Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Event at The Waiting Room in the Benson neighborhood of Omaha, NE.  Ironic, considering the Clinton Campaign champions itself to be an ally to the Black Community, to Women, to Parents and of course, thanks to Bernie, to Working Families. What happened with that Hillary? So much for diversity in the campaign. Diversity is now almost nonexistent in the Omaha Clinton Campaign.  I’m not surprised, as one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement points out the Clinton’s have historically used the Black Community for votes.  I agree, and I extend the accusation to other political identities as well. It has become a trademark behavior of NeoLiberal politicians and organizations to use minorities for votes while profiting from their pain.

Bernie Delegates were mistreated at the DNC. That’s no secret to those who are not comatose. They were also mistreated at the State and County Level, by a conspiracy of moles working inside the Bernie Campaign to sabotage it for Hillary. That mistreatment continues as the Old Guard in Nebraska struggles to hang on to mere threads of the establishment power they have left. The Parent fired by the Hillary Campaign for picking up her kids at a GOTV was also unfairly cut for National Delegate consideration, like many other Bernie Delegates in Nebraska, due to her connections to other Progressives in the State despite the Democrats’ need for persons of color in the Party, including the DNC Convention itself.

Stay tuned.
