LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By African American, do you mean black?
The Democrat party is the party of science. From global warming is settled science. A baby in the womb is just a glob of unfeeling cells. Warren is Native American.
LOL
And the Pubbies steal another group from the Dems.
I bet with these new DNA tests, the Native Americans are probably having their hands full of people now claiming to be one of them. The casino tribes probably doubled..
Might be true, but the Cherokees have never been known for that...
Yes, every faker claims to be Cherokee.
LOL!
Fauxahontas can forget about a presidential run forever! She lied about her heritage to get ahead in the legal field and she compounded her stupidity by announcing her DNA test showing she had a sliver of Cherokee blood. I hope she enjoys her time as a US Senator because that’s as far up the political ladder Fauxahontas will ever get to!
Over at DU, defending Warren and attacking the tribes.

You win FR for the day brother
I don’t know about the Cherokee, but other tribes (including mine) never go by the raciss “one-drop-rule”.
One’s blood is never checked. People as white as snow are embraced by the Tribe when they marry into it, live the culture, celebrate the identity, and embrace the customs. History is replete with stories of frontier people, who either through their own volition, or circumstances beyond their control, began to live with a Tribe and eventually become part of it. There are even Hollyweird Movies that have that as their main theme, such as Little Big Man and Dances With Wolves.
In my own family, my Dad’s Grandfather (three generations ago) was Chief of a small MikM’aw clan in New Brunswick Canada. His wife Salome, was a pure blood Inuit. Because my Grandfather came to the US because life was better there, he hid the fact that he was part MicM’aw. It was a family secret because prejudice was rife against Indians.
My cousin got really deep into genealogy and went up to Canada to check out baptismal certificates and found a strange word on the documents of all my ancestors on Dad’s side...the French word “SAUVAGE” which, of course, means “Savage”...which is what the French people called Indians. Which is a pretty awful thing for a priest to write on a baptismal certificate, but there you go.
My sister moved to Maine, embraced the MicM’aw culture, and was welcomed into the Tribe along with her husband, no blood test required.
Evidently the Cherokee do it a little differently, using The Trail of Tears as their starting point.
Did you know that when the French explorers came to the Americas, they came as Frontiersmen and DID NOT bring women and children with them. So they married into the MicM’aw tribe and thus French names like Landry, Sinclair, LeBlanc, Hashee, etc, became very common among Canadian Indians.
And...The French-Speaking MicM’aw also suffered an exile, just like the Cherokee, called “The Great Expulsion”, and walked as far as they had to find a French-Speaking community. Some of them ended up in Louisiana! We call those interesting, Zydego-playing, clog dancing, People the “Cajun” which is, of course, short for “Canadian”.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow chronicled this History in the long poem “Evangeline”. I gotta read that one again, as it is the story of my people.
So, what the Cherokee Sec of State is PERFECTLY correct and reasonable.
BTW...I consider myself 100% AMERICAN and have NEVER checked the “Native American” box on ANY application.
Just Sayin’.
Native Americans should know who their real friends are and it’s not the Dems
“Warren earlier in the day released the results of a DNA test conducted at “a private lab in Georgia” “
Must be the same Lab that conducted the Blowsey Ford lie detector test.
Dr. Steve Turley:
Fauxcahontas Elizabeth Warren’s Exploiting DNA Test is Backfiring!!!

I wish President Trump would take this opportunity to bring manufactures and Native American Tribes together. The creation of the Native American welfare state was the worst thing we have ever done and are still doing to them.
Remember Steve Martin in The Jerk, I was born a poor Black Child.
