So Elizabeth Warren has come up with a DNA analysis that puts her claimed Native American ancestry somewhere between 1/64th and 1/1024th.
Well no wonder she signed her 1984 book “ Pow Wow Chow” as Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee!

Maybe she did us all a favor by putting a dagger through the heart of identity politics.

As long as Donald Trump is around that will never die.

You mean Donald "If you produce a DNA test that shows you're a Native American, I will donate $1 million to the charity of your choice! Oh, no, you did it? Well, I was just kidding. I never cared about your DNA, Pocahontas!" Trump?

Yes, but what you fail to understand is that that was the national standard for a long time. Ditto Native American blood.

Obama was "the first black president," far far more often than he was "the first multi-racial president (that we know of)."

I understand it, the person who wrote that here explained it.

Still is the national standard, apparently...or Obama would've just been called 'President'.

First she has to go through a nomination.

I was speaking of identity politics, but that too.

Australian Senate basically decides..."Anti-White racism is not deplorable" and "It's not OK to be White".

http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/ok-to-be-white-australian-government-senators-condemn-anti-white-racism/ar-BBOoFvZ?li=AAgfYrC&OCID=AVRES000

On Monday the Senate voted 31 to 28 to reject a motion put by Pauline Hanson – which acknowledged the “deplorable rise of anti-white racism and attacks on Western civilisation” and “it is OK to be white”.

Hanson’s motion received 23 votes from the ruling Liberal-National Coalition. [Conservatives]
Liberal senator Lucy Gichuhi – born in Kenya and the first person of black African descent elected to the Australian parliament – also voted for the motion.

The motion was opposed by the opposition Labor and Greens parties, and crossbench senators Derryn Hinch, Tim Storer, Stirling Griff and Rex Patrick.

#####

Pauline the red head made them vote....and the Left and their ilk voted clearly that "Anti-White racism is not deplorable" and "It's not OK to be White".
So there we have it...clear and simple.

.

Now that your government has used its great wisdom to weigh in definitively on the issue, you can get to work fixing yourself. The problem isn’t that it’s not OK to be white. The problem is that you are not OK at being white. In fact you suck at it. You suck at being human. You suck so bad you are almost an honorary republican. You are no more than a single TBI away. Act now or you’ll grow as lowly as Kiid or Red.

Uh oh.


Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” said Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven.”
Hoskin accused Warren of “undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.”

[Yankguy1]

 Uh oh!!!!

[bankshot1]

Seems to me Sen. Warren used oral history passed down from her family elders, much like many of us use stories passed down from our elders to better understand our heritage. I'm not at all sure she laid claim on anything other than a family story she and her family believed, and appears to be borne out by modern technology.

Now whether she is 1/8 or 1/64 or 1/1024 of any prticular tribe seems irrelevant.

However I would be interested if Red underwent DNA testing to finally determine if he's 1/2, 1/4 or full-blooded racist troll.   

[barton]

I get the snark potential that attends anyone laying claim to a heritage on the basis of a great(x3)-grandma.  If my mom is to be believed,  I have about that much French blood,  but I doubt I'd be claiming French ethnicity on that basis.   What I find weird is all the vitriol it seems to arouse when Warren is doing an innocuous thing that many Americans like to do,  which is to claim a pinch of first people's heritage.    (I prefer the Canuck terms,  First Nations or First Peoples, which seem more accurate than "native")

 

[REDSTATEWARD]

Uh oh!!!!

LOL!

[facilitatorn]

Based on his mindset and manners, it’s safe to say he’s purebred, by which I mean inbred, feral hog.
