Remember when Jane Fonda railed at the Atlanta Braves for selling foam tomahawks for doing the Tomahawk Chop cheer?

According to accounts of my father and his mother, my paternal Great-Great Grandfather was married to a full blooded Cherokee Indian. If I figured right, that makes me one-sixteenth Cherokee. I have great respect for native American culture and I count it a positive that my ancestry is a small part native American. However, I never have, and never will, used that to define who I am. I am what I believe and do.
Identity politics claims victimhood or privilege based on your birthright heritage . . . the “color of your skin”, to use a common phrase. That being so, identity politics is every bit as racist as illegal forms of discrimination. Elizabeth Warren is guilty of that which she claims to abhor. That being the case, in that she has tried to advance her political career and power using racist tactics, she is the worst kind of hypocrite.
