Well if most of us are related to Genghis Khan then we're all aboriginally connected..go even further back and we're probably all related to some sponge in the ocean....who gives a shit what your human ethnic ancestory type is anyway
Goddamn communists pushing their out of bikini bottom theory, saying we're all sponges, getting tired of it.
Well, when there are tangible benefits, some people do unethical things to exploit them. Some cheat on their taxes. Some lie to get college scholarships. Some to get Affirmative Action quotas. Some to get upgrades to first class. America has decided to give a shit about ethnic ancestry to dole out benefits unequally. Whether or not you think it's good or fair or needed, it's happening. And if the Senator is one to lie to exploit those benefits for personal gain, that breach of integrity used to be enough to disqualify someone from high office. Now, the bars have been set lower, we're much more about party stratification and people can vote for someone who's a "lesser of evils" b/c we only think there are two choices.
people cheat...like bankruptcy or money laundering or paying hush money out to porn stars.....as far as what Warren's folks told her....not damaging in the least in my view....some even fake medical problems to get out of military service....my parents claimed we had a famous ancestor....I was probably 40 when my sister found out it wasn't true....oh well..however a young person gets a scholarship is fine with me especially if they do something with it in life. I do think we need to raise the bar for elected officials to qualify for office period and for security clearances...I want to trust our elected officials...I know...it's a stretch
So if anyone but Trump is still interested, the Boston paper is out with a fairly detailed takedown of the idea that Warren got ahead professionally owing to a claim of Native American blood. I don't expect it will change any minds, but it should. barfo
I too, am part Cherokee. Can I prove it? No, not yet. I bought a DNA test kit but have misplaced it somewhere. Got to find it and get the test. Sly says my testing company is not very good so it may not be accurate. Why can't I prove my lineage otherwise? My family history on my father's side goes back to rural Alabmaa before the Civil War. Not an ideal place for keeping records. A test on Senator Warren sounds like a good move. However, a positive result would absolutely not budge Trump. At best, you could expect him to shut up on the subject. Of course, that's at best. We've seen his views on Obama's heritage.
Drudge Report headline! (That links to the same article Barfo posted.) Harvard did not consider Warren as Native American...
I heard you won't get a DNA test cause you are actually pure bread Dingo. What a disgrace. Have to change your name to Slypokerdingoatemybaby
