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.

...and I was once called ugly by a toad!
Where’s MY money??
Maybe it’s just me but it seems that every time Indians trust the government to do anything, most the time they end up worse.
I was born in Indianapolis Indiana.
Can’t get much more RedMan than this.
WHERE’S my MONEY!!??!!
What was the judge's rule on the outcome?
AMEN!
Lizzie Warren took an ax....
How to get into their good graces again 101. This is pandering so low, especially for her, that it’s sickening.
But so are 99% of Mexicans. :(
That was my first thought regarding reparations! Maybe we can bring a class action suit against Queenie Liz, to regain all our vast lands, our heritage in Ireland!
Good One!
Hey Lizzie,
t I believe the Minnesota “ Native Americans” are already compensated
As usual have to go to the UK to get this type of info as our MSM will not reveal this.
I’ve heard the DNA tests are kinda sketchy on indigenous American lines. Not lookin’ for any repsrayions, anyway. They tried diverting me into some native American BS in high school. No thanks.
USDA did this under Clinton and again under Obama. Supposedly they were farmers, but in the end, most weren’t. Many filed under the same “farm” land. No one checked, no one cared. Payments included first blacks, then Hispanics, then Native Americans, then women.....

My casino of choice is Chumash. I give there pretty regular. They have some of the best giveaways. I don’t think they’re hurting. Lol
Ok...as soon as she deeds over her property to any Indian tribe. Then we can talk.
Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a bigot.
That's the argument of the Left.
These people are seriously trying to spark another civil war.
