Nebraska is racist too and theyll defend their right to be. “The World-Herald also received several emails from people expressing concern. One email, from a person who said she had grown up in northeast Nebraska, called it disrespectful that such a display would be allowed in a parade that celebrates Americas history. The Nebraska Democratic Party also issued a statement, calling it one of the worst shows of racism and disrespect for the office of the presidency that Nebraska has ever seen. Norfolk City Councilman Dick Pfeil also voiced his displeasure with the float. The City of Norfolk doesnt condone that, Pfeil said. The councilman noted, however, that it was up to the Odd Fellows to approve the floats. A representative of the Odd Fellows did not return a phone message from a World-Herald reporter Saturday evening. Its obvious the majority of the community liked it, Konopasek told the Lincoln Journal-Star. So should we deny the 95 percent of those that liked it their rights, just for the 5 percent of people who are upset?
