Now the adult thing to do would be for all the patnetters who lambasted her for "lying" to apologize and admit they were wrong.
... and here is why I don't care when the left feigns moral outrage.
Yeah because saying what is technically the truth
No, has not. Will never be.Many so-called Hispanics have more Jewish DNA than Warren has Indian DNA. Total fraud!
No. I would personally not lie about my race to get illicit compensation to put food on the table.
I like to be able to sleep at night and I've done very well being honest and upfront with people, not lying to get ahead.
True or false: E Warren's mom was oppressed as a native for only being %99.83 white?
She simply checked off a box labeled "Native American" in an ethnic background section of a form.
Exactly.
Elizabeth Warren is not a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Warren is not enrolled in the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
And Elizabeth Warren is not one of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.
Nor could she become one, even if she wanted to.
The Eastern Band of the Cherokee, for their part, have since 1963 required individuals to be at least 1/16 Cherokee to enroll -- and also to have "a direct lineal ancestor" on "the 1924 Baker Roll of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians."

No, there was no truth in this whole saga.
Warren never claimed her mother was oppressed. Nor did she claim to be oppressed herself.
Warren never claimed her mother was oppressed
Good luck getting to some of these positions of power with being 100% honest. Won't happen.
So, you agree that most Black and White Americans with fractional (~1-5%) American Indian Ancestry can check the box for American Indian and sign up for all the benefits, get to the head of the line in college and job applications?
doik saysWarren never claimed her mother was oppressed
No she only claimed her parents had to elope due to racism her "native" mother was facing.
That's all.
Reality saysSharing 1/1024th with South Americans is actually genetically less Native-American than the average White American in the US
This fact is meaningless. The average has nothing to do with the median. A few Native Americans will have 100% Native American ancestry pushing the average high while the median American will have 0% Native American ancestry. You are grasping at straws.
The bottom line is that Warren in no way lied when she checked off a box in a job application. Having any ethnic ancestry makes it perfectly legitimate to check off such a box.
He'd be fucking Warren if she was a porn star famous for sucking off circus animals.
I did not write "average American" but "average White American"! I even capitalized the word "White" for you!
Jesus Christ! In order to even classify people as "white Americans" you must first have a criteria for determining which ethnic groups a person belongs to. So you can't evaluate the average of that set until the criteria is already in place, so it can't be used as the criteria itself. That's circular logic.
Why do you even care about Warren's ancestry?
Also, both she and Harvard were praised for being so deliciously progressive
So what? If a group praised Warren and you think it was unmerited, that is a complaint about the group, not about Warren.
Why do you even care about Warren's ancestry?
Warren committed fraud when checking that box and claimed her mother was discriminated against for being Native American. Given the genetic test result, it was not possible for her mother to have been discriminated against for being Native American. The photos of her mother show no sign of being Native American; her relatives, those who are willing to speak out, had no inkling about what "Native American" talk in the family she was referring to.Reality says
Because her political career and academic career were very much dependent on the false claim. She is the one who brought up the issue this week, and her ignorance and misunderstanding of the basic math, statistics and genetics shown in her test result are truly astounding!
It was utterly unconscionable for a Whiter-than-usual-White person to exploit people's good will towards the Cherokee people, who have more than once before told her to stop the pretending.

Because SHE and her ilk have made it an issue.

Now you are talking like a Neo-Nazi racial purist.
It's fun to watch libbies gaslight equal opportunity gross fraud on the basis of the tiniest shred of dubious genetic attribution. Callng crazy sane and sane crazy again.
Reality saysWarren committed fraud when checking that box and claimed her mother was discriminated against for being Native American.
This is a completely unfounded attack. You are grasping at straws. The fact that you would even try such an argument shows how out-of-touch with reality you are. You don't even realize how unpersuasive this argument is to anyone who isn't part of your extremist ideology.
she would never have qualified as a law professor at Harvard Law School without that "color" card
Sorry doik, but her level of native American blood is in the margin of error. This makes her a deranged liar which most normal people already knew. She is insane.
1/1024 is genetic SPECULATION, she is European.
It's fun to watch libbies gaslight equal opportunity gross fraud on the basis of the tiniest shred of dubious genetic attribution.
NO ONE can be a professor at HARVARD LAW SCHOOL with a JD from RUTGERS!
Put simply, there is no evidence you would accept that Warren is distantly descendant from Native American.
Again, how is her ancestry relevant to her position as a senator today?

Actually doik, it's you doesn't know reality. Sure, Liz's mom probably exaggerated stuff in terms of family lore, I mean c'mon, didn't everyone have someone in their family who embellished WWI or WWII stories for the sonic effects? Or perhaps, if you're from an even older world family, some massacre in Eastern European involving Cossacks and Turks?
But still, it doesn't change to mos...
I agree that anyone with a single ancestor from an ethic group, by definition, has that ethnicity as part of their genetic makeup and therefore absolutely is honest in checking the checkbox for that ethnic group whether or not they identity culturally with that group.
Being wrong doesnt make you a liar, but when you look at the opportunity to pull a quick one and her total lack of any evidence of Indian heritage, the evidence suggests she knew she was lying.
I honestly can't believe Democrats want to argue that a person who is proven by DNA to be 99.999% white is somehow Native American.
But if they have an XY chromosome mix, they can somehow be a "woman".
