Well if she identified as Native American purely to extract finacial and Affirmative Action benefits then it is obviously wrong. If she claimed to be part Native American because she wanted to explore her roots and wanted to meet Native Americans then that isn't wrong.
Yeah her life story is pretty incredible and yet people are bashing her cause she claimed one of her ancestors is native American... and it was brought out in full force by her political opponent after she was asked about it by the media. not her... but yet she's faulted for it.
I don't get it.
You're using an arbitrary cut-off here. At what point can you claim heritage and why?Great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather? Nah, you're not black son. So because everyone has roots tying back to Africa, we're all African? Your logic doesn't work try again.
I think it's more that. Make people sick of the issue before the election. Then by the time we get to the general and Trump goes, "Hey it's Pocahontas," the result is a collective eye roll, but not some damning argument.
And it shouldn't be a damning argument. The truth is that Warren had no reason to disbelieve her mother's stories that she was part Native American, and the more important truth is that Warren never benefited from any claims about her ancestry.
She is a strong candidate with and inspiring life story. She's from very humble Oklahoma roots, she's overcome a lot of adversity.
Oh, and by the way, our current POTUS is a white collar criminal whose wealth came from tax fraud schemes.

Basically. If your family was from Oklahoma pre- the turn of the 20th century, and there was a family tradition that you have Native American ancestors, what reason would you have not to believe it?So she's like the rest of us Okies? Sweet.
Every single person who was ever involved with her at Harvard has lined up saying that her ethnicity was a total non-consideration, and the dean who hired her is on record saying he had never heard any mention or consideration of her as a "minority candidate."I mean.... other than that job at Harvard...

Oh, look, another liberal that can't discern nuance lecturing about groupthink.You bleat well for a newly minted Trump sheep.

Small town everybody knows everybody and her mom is from a family that had Native American relatives?
Why you making me follow you down this rabbit hole of idiocy? I am no expert in how people used to know or do shit back in 40s...
Are you doubting it was more racist back in the 40s and that shit couldn’t possibly be true?
You didn't answer the question.How about when your 1/1024 and the blood they use to test against is from Mexico instead of using Native American blood without giving any reason for doing that.
