White and wrong: On the reservation with Elizabeth Warren
Boston Herald ^ | 02 may 2012 | Howie Carr

Posted on 05/02/2012 6:38:26 AM PDT by rellimpank

We all know about “undocumented workers.” Now we have Elizabeth Warren, the undocumented Indian.

Funny thing, I think Ted Williams was one-fourth Mexican. He was white. Johnny Bench is one-eighth Indian. I always think of him as white. And then there’s Pochantas Warren, the blue-eyed, one-32nd Cherokee (or so we’re told) who went from the Southwest Conference to the Ivy League over the course of a decade in which she was claiming to be a “minority professor.”

But once she’d parlayed the racial-spoils racket all the way to a tenured position at Harvard Law, she decided to ... pass, as they used to say in the old South. Once she’d reached the pinnacle of her trade, she ditched the fake-Indian routine. Maybe White Eyes Warren saw the smoke signals and figured out that someone was going to call her out on her ancestry. She was right.

If being 1/32 Indian makes you an official Indian, I suspect we have at least 100 million Indians in our nation. I don’t blame the tribal officials for being irritated by such nonsense.

Call it what it is, it’s racism.

By virtue of their race, some people are entitled to things I can never have, no matter how hard I work, no matter how much I accomplish - by virtue of my humble birth, I will never have the “Equality” given to those who’s ancestry differs from mine.

Does this, in any way, correct the injustices done by white people I have nothing in common with? My ancestors were not in this country at the time. In fact, I can show that my ancesters spent their lives fighting slavery, as Missionaries in Madagascar, risking their lives and the lives of thier families. Is there anything I could have done, but failed to do, to have prevented these injustices performed decades or centuries before my birth?

Yet, I am denied the benefits that are freely given to others, based solely upon the color of my skin.

Anyone notice the American-Indian wannabes usually seem to claim “Cherokee?” What about: Mattaponi, Powhatan, Cree, Arikara, Assiniboine or Hidatsa?

C’mon Elizabeth, get more creative with your wannabe-ness.

Pochantas Warren... lol

Warren talked a good story when she first arrived on the TARP scene. It’s been downhill for her ever since.

I’ve been saying for years that the left is promoting a form of neo-feudalism.
This is just part of it. By reason of whom you’re born to, some are entitled to things other people are not.

Pochantas Warren

Ow! Normally that would leave a mark, but in the final analysis, the MSM will rally around Sacajewarren, just as they rallied around Stolen Valor Blumenthal.

If dems lie, cheat, steal, or even murder, they get a pass. Let's face it - dems have no honor so why would they hold each other accountable when their own hands are dirtied with shame.

Great slaughter article by Howie

Boy did he pick the wrong week to have (needed)elective surgery (out all week to recover). I wish he’d at least call into his own show for an hour segment or two from his house - this story is fire-water!

It was a good read. Affirmative action should be dismantled.

The original title cught my eye over on RealClearPolitics...

“On the Reservation with Pocahontas Warren”...he must have taken some heat on that one and changed it...but it made me laugh out loud and click the link. Howie makes excellent ppoints, all while injecting some humor.

Personally, I think she is done. I hope Massachusetts voters are fed up.

My uncle (a Harvard Engineering grad) would be spinning if he he could see what Harvard has become.

"But the greatest SLEAZIEST thing about this latest outbreak of Politically Correct hypocrisy is it shows just how morally and intellectually bankrupt “affirmative action” "LIBERALISM", THE PRESS, AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY are.

This happened in Australia when they passed certain special rights for Aboriginals. Almost overnight virtually the entire nation claimed to be Aborigines.

Yes, but if she is loud and vocal enough about lining up all the bankers and shooting them, she will still win.

This is, after all, the same state which followed that idiot Pied Piper, Joe Kennedy, to a lake of "free" heating oil from Hugo Chavez.

Go back far enough and we are all a little bit of everything. Warren is no big wampum.

I hope Avi Nelson is in for Howie again today. He obliterated the Moonbats, Josh and Steve from Montreal.

I think Colonel Hunt is the guest host today - Pftt

Avi was great yesterday - putting Steve from Montreal in his place.

Probably end up listening to WTIC out of Hartford, CT or NPR - eek! (got to keep tabs on ‘em)

There was a gem in the comments section after the article:

My great grandmother was Creek Indian, but I have never gone around calling myself Indian (what is that? 1/16th?). I am proud of her and think it is interesting, but that is all. I also have an assortment of many other countries in my past, I guess my family loves mixing it up.

My wife and now my kids add Puerto Rican Taino Indian to the mix, but we don't call them little Indians... although, I think I might for fun :-)

My priorities are in this order; 1) Christian, 2) American, 3) Human
