I'm not putting too much faith in the Globe's claim here. I have personally seen publications touting Warren as a "woman of color" in legal academia.
Well, you would have seen those also if you'd read the article which you don't have much faith in. The thing is, Harvard promoting her as a professor of color doesn't actually accrue benefits to her. It accrues benefits to Harvard. barfo
I wouldn't care at all. White people invented the one drop rule but it doesn't apply to their own? My son is 37% Italian 22% European. He's only 41% Sub Saharan African.. But guess what? In America he's black. Here's the thing, if y'all don't like the made up bullshit that "race" is, tear down your construct. Simple. Y'all invented it...
See I'll never trust shit you say because you don't research properly. That's not in the article ... It's the COMMENTS section of her tweet.
BAM? I agreed that that existed. The article that you don't want to believe also acknowledged its existence. Now explain why it matters. barfo
Cherokee Nation is NOT amused. The Cherokee Nation responded to the results of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's DNA test on Monday, arguing that “a DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship.” The response came after the Democratic senator revealed that, based on tests, she has Native-American ancestry “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.” "Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person’s ancestors were indigenous to North or South America," Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. said in a press release. "Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation," Hoskin continued. "Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. 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. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."
Always hard to prove a negative. Prove you aren't a pedophile. Why don't you show some proof she has benefited. That should be easier. barfo
I would say it's pretty even. It's impossible to prove that she hasn't benefited in any way, just as it would be impossible to prove that she has. Benefits can range from money to exposure to any number of different factors. Would most people even know who she was if not for this whole Native American thing? That is a benefit in and of itself.
Somebody please provide a link when Elizabeth Warren EVER tried to: "determine tribal citizenship" I'll wait....
I heard that on the 4 O'Clock news, PBS. My wife and I are shocked. Should have known it was coming when I heard his cancer was back after several years of remittance. That's usually a bad sign. By the way, my cancer has been in remittance for over ten years, Yay.
So we virtually convict her when there's no evidence? Why not blame her for witchcraft and see if she'll drown or burn which will be proof she's not a witch. That should have the added benefit of removing her from the eyes of those who hate her.
Here's the prevailing counter argument: Prove she didn't try to assert her tribal citizenship. Brilliant logic.
I would say that unless somebody comes up with at least a shred of credible evidence that Senator Warren's claim that she had some Native American blood in her resulted in benefits, how 'bouts we move on to some more productive topic. This topic seems kind of silly just as the claims that women were witches 300 years ago was silly, tragic but silly.
