Elizabeth Warren opens door to reparations for Native Americans

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Friday evening that Native Americans should be “part of the conversation” on reparations, showing a willingness to expand the debate over whether minority groups that have faced discrimination should be financially compensated by the federal government.
Warren is one of four Democratic presidential hopefuls who have said in recent days that they’re open to providing some type of reparations to African Americans who are descendants of people who were enslaved in the United States, although they’ve offered varying levels of details about how the goal would be achieved.
So far, Warren is the only one to entertain the notion of including Native Americans. “I think it’s a part of the conversation,” she said when asked whether the group should also receive some kind of relief. “I think it’s an important part of the conversation.”
This ground is fraught for Warren, who claimed to be Native American for about two decades when she was a law professor. She has apologized for doing this, but the issue dogged her in her first Senate race and has been a persistent source of tension in her nascent presidential bid.
Warren made the remarks on reparations after addressing about 900 New Hampshire Democrats at the state party’s annual McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner at the Hilton in Manchester. Warren enjoyed a standing ovation when she walked onto the stage, and her speech was frequently interrupted by applause.

absolutely! The Sassanaugh shipped hundreds of Irish to the new world as slaves, and they were treated worse than Africans! I want my reparations!
She forgets that the Southern Indian tribes were also slave owners
Also Elizabeth Warren - "Lines for blankets is to the left..."
Pure racial pandering.

Liz warren is endorsing REPARATIONS! So, is she now supposed to be black TODAY?
Vote for me and I’ll give you 50$.
Remember: bribing people for their vote isn’t illegal when leftists do it. :)
The obvious reparation would be Elizabeth Warren’s scalp.
Support and thanks from some. And where were you dude? Mr. Mormon.
Warren’s white 99.9% should pay reparations to her other 0.1%.
Will reparations include Warren returning her salaries from Penn and Harvard that were paid because of her cynical and false claim to be a Native American? Probably not. The socialist mantra is “Other Peoples Money” which does not include anything Warren has pocketed over the years.
She’s trying to atone for her fake Native American heritage claims.
I have never heard the anti repartions argxukments as cogently and vrilliantly expounded as last night’s Savxage Nationl
If only he wrote this out as a printed version. I’ll lok thrzogxh his old books (I have most) to ssee if he wrote them somewhere.
Briefly: what govt. office will bring in the money(thus millions wasted on new dept. costs)? Will disputes on true ancestors and how much money be handled in long court hearings?
Do Chinese whose ancestors were conscripted to build railroads get same as black money?
What about Jamaican and Haitian ones who were not from American slaves? What about charging from immigrants who never had relatives in slave days in the US? Immigrants such as Latino and Arabs arriving here in past 10 years but never 1800s slave holders?
corrections:
I have never heard the anti-reparations arguments as cogently and brilliantly expounded as on last night’s Savage Nation.
Sorry!

There’s a lot of truth there. Unfortunately.
