[Second Amendment First]

But I thought we can be whatever we say we are. Today I am a Jewish Muslim transgender lesbian trapped in a pink body, unlike yesterday when I wasn't.

It pays to be something other than white.

Further, honkies are taught from a very early age to hate their own culture.

[knarf]

so what

there's a faggot muslim in the white house claiming to be an American

[Behind Liberal Lines]

For a second, I thought maybe they’d wished up to Liz Warren

[Gay State Conservative]

Pretending to be an Indian? Disgraceful!!!

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

She must be aiming for the Senate or a Gubanatorial nomination.

They sure spent a lot of energy in this article comparing her to Dolezal, but never once mentioned the obvious comparisons to the high-cheekboned gorilla in the room

[LostInBayport]

In a blog post on Thursday night, Smith maintained that she is Cherokee, that she has “consistently identified [herself] based on what [she] knew to be true,” and that “[t]here have been innumerable false statements made about [her] in the media.”

"Hey! That's MY line!"

Only in America can you be what you want to be!

[MUDDOG]

How can they write an article like this and not mention Elizabeth Warren (who claimed Cherokee to boot).

Oh yeah, it’s the Daily Beast.

Other than that, it’s a very entertaining article.

My great-great-grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee, and the lineage is well-documented. I never once in my life have cared to even try to call myself Cherokee. What is wrong with these people?

[truth_seeker]

Simple enough. Let’s see her family tree.

Name, date of birth, of her native American qualifying ancestor.

[garjog]

What is the problem here?

She is Trans-Indian.

That is her chosen identity.

Anyone who objects is just a hater.

[Pontiac]

“We are the best experts of our own culture and we have the sovereign right to decide who our members are, just like any nation.”

Well that puts the Cherokee one up on the United States.

The Liberal Democrat Progressives say we are haters if we want to do that.

But Indians are a protected victim class so they are permitted to be exclusive.
