Progressives such as Elizabeth Warren resurrect the race-based thinking of the antebellum South: ‘One drop’ and you’re a bona fide minority. Senator Elizabeth Warren has doubled down on her insistence that she is Native American.
THE NEW ONE-DROP FIXATION
In her past incarnations, she probably used that yarn in hopes of helping her win a law professorship at Harvard, which touted her as the law school’s first indigenous-American professor (and others apparently referenced her as Harvard Law’s “first woman of color”). She has refused to back down (and also refused to take a DNA test), even after Native American genealogists disputed her claim.
But what if indeed the pink and blond Warren were found to have 1/32nd or even 1/16th Native American “blood”? Why would that artifact magically make her “Indian,” much less a victim of something or someone, or at least outfitted with a minority cachet?
Does she have an idea of the absurdity of current progressive race obsessions and their creepy pedigrees? In wartime Western Europe, one of the justifications for making Jews wear yellow stars was that it was otherwise impossible to determine whether they were Jews at all, which of course made the entire Nazi edifice of supposed overt racial inferiority a nightmarish joke.

As a child I suffered a very traumatic and painful "indian burn." I demand reparations from YOUR reparations!
I self-identify as 1/256th Aiwannasubsidy — a small tribe that was completely absorbed and co-opted by the liberal white man.
Yes i agree
Ridicule her relentlessly
Freepers are excellent at it !
Oh ! Big chief wampum want pocohatas to say she white
Bwa ha ha ha ha
Excoriation is the only solution
I’m 1/16th Creek. My Dad enlisted after Pearl Harbor & never went back to Oklahoma. Our ancestor survived the Trail of Tears but there’s no modern kinship. Life goes on.
My Wife tells me that I am a hell of a lot more than just 3%, then just snickers at me when I give her “the look” out from under my low beetling brow.
She SO wants to be a victim.
Absolutely. If she runs in 20/20 and sure as shooting she will, we need to turn up at her rallies and let her know WE know she’s a phony. If she does run and shows up in Jersey I’ll do it.

What a stupid title.
The Confederate mind was far more concerned with limiting the power of the central government, limiting tariffs to 10% (there was no income tax), requiring a balanced budget, banning corporate welfare, ensuring a narrow reading of the general welfare clause so as to eliminate pork barrel spending, imposing term limits on politicians and ensuring that government derived its legitimacy from the consent of the governed as stated in the Declaration of Secession (Independence being another word for it) from the British Empire.
As for flaming racism, welcome to the mid 19th century. That was to be found the world over at that time most definitely including the Northern states and most definitely including Lincoln.
She desperately wants to be non-White. It’s that simple.
Proves how gullible and down right stupid many Americans are. Their poster child Rachel Dolezal stepped down as leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The absolute lunacy here today is a man in a ladies room, who looks sounds and dresses like a man can now claim to be a women and be protected by the law as transgender over you! The insane running the insane asylum
If whites had such great privilege, there wouldn’t be a rush to claim any contrary ancestry.
Elizabeth Warren’s signature socialist line is “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” There actually is a central truth buried in that lie.I, Pencil is an article written in 1958 by Leonard E. Read. The burden of the article is how diffuse are the inputs to make a simple item like a pencil. Of course a particular company - Eberhard Faber, in the example instance - made the pencil. But Mr. Eberhard and Mr. Faber did not simply speak the pencil into existence; the company has to have buildings housing machinery, and workers to operate the machines. But beyond that, the Eberhard Faber workers have to have food, shelter, and normal amenities - including those required by their families.
And the same is true of the vendors who supply Eberhard Faber with the machinery they require, and all the obvious materials - wood, graphite, rubber, and the ferrule material and the enamel. All those vendors have their own equipment, workers, and supply chain. And in all cases the workers need food, shelter, and normal amenities. So although the pencil certainly does not exist without Eberhard Faber, society works together to make pencils - and everything else.
So, “You didn't build that? Somebody else made that happen?” Yes - but that “somebody else” was not government. The “somebody” was more like everybody - mostly very indirectly. It is not the government but society - as Thomas Paine points out in Common Sense, a very different thing - which makes the pencil.
Government planning is merely interference in society’s subtle workings by people who have nowhere near the competence needed to make such large decisions and be responsible for them. It is nothing more than the irresponsible separation of responsibility from authority, in violation of the first principle of good management. Improvement in efficiency via government “planning” is a paper tiger.
No one would care whether or not she was part Indian or whether or not she was lying about it if it weren’t for the government sponsored and approved racism known as Affirmative Action.
SO MUCH FUN to go to her rallies in the past where a ‘bunch of neer’ do wells’ would Indian dance and do the whhooooo-whoo thing...
