    As dviss1 said - this just isn't true. The first time she self-identified as a Native American, she was a law professor. She didn't disadvantage anyone.

    Probably because I love comedy and chappelle. Nothing more. I don’t know if he’s racist, I just know I’m not gonna spend my time over analyzing anything anybody says unless it’s blatant

    I'm surprised with you being a member of these forums for so long, that you've yet to realize the truth doesn't matter here.
    You've even been guilty of ignoring the truth yourself in the past.

    It's about who can spam post the fastest, and yell the loudest at @SlyPokerDog
    At least this forum is consistent with real life.

    Moi? Surely you jest.

    Yes, it does have that going for it.

    Trump is the most important racist that ever lived, and that's a fact.

    Two dogs talking. One says "I'm going to get fixed" the other dog says "Fixed? Why would you want that?" The dog soon to be headed to the vet says "Well, I'm not barking right and I assume they're going to fix my bark" The other dog says "I don't think it's your bark they want to fix."

    Moral to the story - Don't let them take you to the vet!

    I already asked this question and never got an answer. Typical of Republican twisted spinning to come up with these mythical claims.

    Yeah...that's not a fact. Guarantee you there won't be 1% as many books/movies about Trump's presidency as about WWII. Trump may be racist...or he may simply be ignorant...but he's certainly not that important.

    I think him being divisive is actually starting to unite people.

    But Hitler was easily the most important racist.

    WWII was a pretty big deal.

    But, nevertheless, Trump is eroding the Presidency at an alarming rate.

    Look at how many in the upper echelons of the White House have called him dumb, stupid, a moron, has the awareness of a fifth or sixth grader. I think it's about 7 people. Can't you see a pattern here?

    Hitler was never able to take down the United States government. But I'll give you that he did kill a lot of people because of their race.

    Okay, lets see if this sheds a little light on the subject.

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-...behind-elizabeth-warren-and-her-native-ameri/

    ?

    The first mention

    Warren’s heritage wasn’t something she brought up during her 2012 Senate race against Republican Scott Brown.

    The questions started with a Boston Herald story on April 27, 2012.

    "Elizabeth Warren’s avowed Native American heritage — which the candidate rarely if ever discusses on the campaign trail — was once touted by embattled Harvard Law School officials who cited her claim as proof of their faculty’s diversity," the article began. What the article revealed dated back more than a decade to diversity records kept by Harvard.

    At a time when law schools faced public pressure to show greater ethnic diversity within their faculty, the university’s Crimson newspaper quoted a law school spokesman in 1996 saying Warren was Native American.

    The Boston Globe followed the Herald with a report that the Association of American Law Schools listed Warren as a minority law teacher each year from 1986 to 1994. In that time, Warren went from being a law professor at the University of Texas, to the University of Pennsylvania, and finally in 1995 to Harvard University.

    That association received faculty lists from law schools and sent personal profile forms to new faculty members. The group first asked about minority status in 198



    and this little tidbit

    Warren’s opponent Scott Brown jumped on the revelations and called on her to apologize for Harvard having touted her dubious ethnic roots. Brown also said she had used an invented minority status to make herself more attractive to law schools.

    Warren refused to apologize, saying she didn’t know Harvard was promoting her that way. She did confirm, however, that she had told the law school association that she held a minority status.

    "I listed myself (in the) directory in the hopes that might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something, with people who are like I am," Warren told reporters May 3, 2012. "Nothing like that ever happened. That was absolutely not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off."
