Way back in the internets earlier days, when you had BBS message boards and you could “punt” someone off the internet , I multiple times took down DU by spamming the crap out of it. There was some glitch where if they mass deleted stuff, the server would crash. I took them down for three weeks one time.Its safe to say their long standing policy of moderating new users posts comes from me.
I did it to so many libtard websites they were just one of many i enjoyed bringing down.
The Cherokee Nation response shows that they don't take kindly to fake people.
Her recipe was stolen from the French chef Pierre Franey. It was published originally in the New York Times. I guess she couldn’t exactly put out a recipe of boiled twigs so she went in the opposite direction and published a recipe that was the favorite of the Duke & Duchess of Windsor.
And the liberal talking point for the day is “not claiming/demanding tribal rights and privileges”
I wonder if the president lurks here, lol?
I have wondered about that (seriously).
"Elizabeth Warren said ...that she had listed herself as Native American at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania...."
He might. I don’t think he should use my insult about Indian cuisine, though.
Yes, he should leave that part out!
Seriously. I was zapped at DU in about 60 seconds.
But it was a fun 60 seconds.
Nonsense. Her Cherokee ancestors would make the migration every year from Appalachia to the shores of New England to catch crabs for their famous crab meat omelettes. Of course they didn’t have any chickens until the pale faces came, so they had to catch wild turkeys and squeeze the eggs out of them too.
They also used those eggs to make the mayonnaise for their crab with tomato mayonaise dressing recipe that they would eat during the long trek back to the mountains. Some people think the french invented mayonnaise, but that’s a lie! They stole it from the indians just like the white men stole the land.
Any talk that Warren never claimed to be Cherokee is either pure gaslighting, or simply mindless repetition of such gaslighting. The many examples of her explicitly naming the tribe have been well known for years.
And dragging The Cherokee Nation? Hey that’s a good look to the rest of the country, huh.
Only problem is, she plagiarized those recipes, or her mother did.
BTW, her "family recipes" handed down over generations had been published in newspapers ten or fifteen years previously. One hint that she swiped them was that nobody in Oklahoma in the 1800s would have been using crab in their family / tribal recipes.
Ha, you beat me while I was typing.
Here’s an article from 2012 with chapter and verse of the plagiarism. Howie Carr in Boston sniffed it out.
