Senator Elizabeth Warren, during a commencement speech at historically black Morgan State University in Baltimore, admitted she is “not a person of color.”
Warren, just two months removed from pushing the results of a DNA test as proof that she had Native American ancestry in her blood, was discussing opportunities and obstacles for minorities in her speech.
“As a country, we need to stop pretending that the same doors open for everyone, because they don’t,” Warren said.
“I’m not a person of color,” she added. “And I haven’t lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice, or more overt harm, that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin.”

No.
Get a job.
I do enjoy that she has sucked the wind out of her own sails with the DNA stunt.
You don’t hear her name mentioned as a potential Dem nominee nearly as much now.
According to Ancestry.com I’m more native American than Elizabeth Warren.
Trump puts in your face.
So Warren already HAD white privilege, but that wasn’t good enough. She had to claim minority status too.
"But I've pocketed all the benefits anyway."

According to Ancestry.com I'm not one bit Elisabeth Warren.
She looks like PURE WHITE BREAD to me.....
She is a fraud.
She’s not a person of intellect either. But then again, she is a Democrat.
She’s not a redskin?
Hey dude, Larry Lucido is askin’ you a question. You gonna answer???

Elizabeth Warren Comes Clean: ‘I Am Not a Person of Color’
Rusty Weiss — December 17, 2018
Senator Elizabeth Warren, during a commencement speech at historically black Morgan State University in Baltimore, admitted she is “not a person of color.”
Warren, just two months removed from pushing the results of a DNA test as proof that she had Native American ancestry in her blood, was discussing opportunities and obstacles for minorities in her speech.
“As a country, we need to stop pretending that the same doors open for everyone, because they don’t,” Warren said.
“I’m not a person of color,” she added. “And I haven’t lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice, or more overt harm, that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin.”
That’s Not What She Said
Part of the reason this is such a contentious matter is that Warren allegedly furthered her career by claiming minority status.
Politico reported in 2012 that Warren “listed herself as a minority law teacher for nearly a decade from 1986 to 1995.”
A Harvard Crimson piece in 1996 described her as Native American, while a Fordham Law Review article in 1997 even described her specifically as a “woman of color.”
She claimed she had no knowledge that Harvard was pushing that status, but for a decade prior, Warren self-identified as a minority professor and only stopped and went back to listing herself as white once she made it to Harvard Law.
Decades Later, She Still Tried to ‘Prove’ It
As stated, Warren published the results of an ancestry test which was supposed to “prove” her Native American Ancestry. Those results became a fresh source of mockery for the senator, as they concluded she could be 1/1024 part Native American.
It’s Killing Her 2020 Chances
Despite what CNN has tried to push, Warren’s antics have been and still remain a major problem for her candidacy.
The DNA test publicity stunt backfired and advisers close to her encouraged Warren to drop the matter and even apologize for it.
“Elizabeth Warren’s web of lies continues to play out on the national stage as she tries and fails to put this whole sordid saga behind her,” Michael Reed, Deputy Communications Director for the RNC said in a statement.
The polls are now indicating the bad publicity is starting to take a toll on Warren.
“What’s indisputable is that Warren took advantage of minority status she wasn’t entitled to in order to gain a professional advantage,” Reed said. “Good luck explaining that in a Democrat presidential primary increasingly focused on identity politics.”
And good luck pulling out of a polling tailspin while trying to explain your motives for such a story.
Democrat voters aren’t going to want their candidates who actually have minority status being overshadowed by one who’s been pretending to have it.

She may be done as far as the Oval Office is concerned, but she’s from Massachusetts, home of Vietnam Hero John Kerry and Olympic swimmer Ted Kennedy that Massachusetts voters have always admired.
I resent the fact that in this country you can get special privileges, free college, jobs you are not qualified for, special priority in government contracting, because of having ancestors in one of several specially-privileged categories.
That is unconstitutional, illegal, and wrong.
Lizzy just took advantage of a corrupt system.
So she's a proven liar, I guess the Left has no shame.
He seems to ask for a lot of donations at his site, Mental Retardation (I might not have restated that with precision - he did abbreviate it). I guess once he gets all his donations, he’ll remember all the generosity shown by FR readers.
