“...benefit of the doubt...”
Most of us doubted her benefits.
Speaking of Brown. He sure has disappeared from the landscape. Good riddance, BTW!
None of this is relevant to the problem. You cannot claim benefits as a native American without a certificate from a tribe. It’s the only race that needs documentation.
WTF? Fawning article ignores the real question of whether Fauxcahontas was given Affirmative Action status.
Maybe Mueller is on to something with ‘conspiracy to defraud the US government’.
Kamala or Elizabeth, terrific choices, for Republicans. Both are angry, bitter and un American.
>>This isn’t unreasonable. Many families “enhance” their histories in some way, either deliberately or through the years like the Telephone game where what is said at the beginning of the game resembles not at all what is said at the end. <<
The author misses the important point here. She used that family lore to get financial aid, which means those funds were withheld from REAL Native Americans. She also used it in other ways to advance her career all the while with no confirmation.
She is a liar who used a distant family story to benefit herself to the detriment of others.
Always possible that she is sandbagging, that she found a DNA test that shows a trace of Native American???
Waiting for the right time to show her cards.
Gray Beaver speaks with forked brain
My wife used to think she was part Cherokee. This was because of statements made by her Grandmother, who said that one of her grandfathers was a Cherokee chief.
After her Grandmother died, my wife’s mother traveled to visit some aunts and uncles, contemporaries of Grandmother, in the vicinity of where Grandmother grew up. They were unanimous in saying the whole idea was preposterous.
So as my wife now laughingly says “I used to be part Cherokee”.
We both view the whole Warren thing with derisive amusement as a result.
The difference between Fauxcahontas and my wife is that my wife never tried to play the minority victim game for fun and profit. Her impressive professional achievements were all done the old fashioned way, with smarts, hard work and accomplishment, unlike Warren.
Chief Sitting Bullsh*t
Isn’t a bit unusual for a woman her age to be calling her Father, ‘daddy’?
Hey at least she claimed to be an Indian American, and not from a foreign country, (randomly picking a county), say like kenya,5 in order to get special privileges.
Its the Democratic way apparently?
LOL. Heritage, yes...but neither parent was a citizen.
I have a feeling that Donald Trump will educate America about that little distinction.
“”When she suddenly finds the intention to run for president””
She will have thought up more stories by then....
Kamala Harris - NO! NO! NO! PLEASE! NO! NO! NO!!!!
This is why you never see a Native American comedian.
This author says he’s willing to give Warren the benefit of the doubt because she thought she was some very small percentage of Indian. I’m not. I have “family lore” that I’m some small percentage of Indian. We even have an old photograph of an Indian woman who is supposed to be my great-great-great-etc. grandmother. It would make me 1/32nd or 1/16th Indian. But I never in my life would consider identifying as a “minority” or claiming Indian status. Its a scam for whites who want to glom onto the identity politics bandwagon.
To me, when you refuse a DNA test, you’re telling me you’re a liar...period.
WRONG!
Everyone actually from Oklahoma KNOWS that they are part Choctaw because the Cherokee have been jealous of our ways for centuries.
I prefer “Lieawatha” myself.
She may actually believe she’s part Cherokee. She may BE part Cherokee. But before claiming any Indian benefits, doesn’t there have to be proof? Harvard Law should’ve required proof before giving her a leg-up over other candidates based on her alleged heritage.
Thinking you’re a minority person is one thing, but bamboozling people to get goodies is something else altogether.
