Magilla   510 #2497 Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) It doesn't matter because Warren isn't native American.  A claim Warren has never made, merely that she has native american hertitage.  Seems that is true She took a DNA test, it confirmed her claims.

Delayed   464 #2498 Posted October 16, 2018 A claim Warren has never made, merely that she has native american hertitage.  Seems that is true She took a DNA test, it confirmed her claims.  Bit of a stretch given the mention of Mexican, Peruvian samples as per Ben Shapiro's video. If you go back far enough you can claim heritage of most places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Magilla   510 #2499 Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Bit of a stretch given the mention of Mexican, Peruvian samples as per Ben Shapiro's video.  Nope, it's not a stretch at all since the DNA test confirms her claims.  It's a stretch to miss-represent this as something it's clearly not, as Mr.Shapiro tries to do... but keep drinking that cool-aid  If you go back far enough you can claim heritage of most places.  You'd be right if you can prove it. She has done so.  Any confusion/drama around the issue at all is only as a direct result of republican conspiracy theories, as usual, debunked: https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2018/09/01/did-claiming-native-american-heritage-actually-help-elizabeth-warren-get-ahead-but-complicated/wUZZcrKKEOUv5Spnb7IO0K/story.html  The reality is that Trump and republicans in general are scared stiff of her, for obvious reasons.  In Warrens case they can't claim she doesn't know what she's on about, hence the made up conspiracy theory and "Pocahontas" slur Edited October 16, 2018 by Magilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

One night a group of us were having a friendly argument about ancestry with some Canadians. It started about us English being "fresh off the boat" and then came down to me saying some ancestor of theirs came from somewhere else. I asked one of them where his grandfather was born, he said Canada, so I kept on until it got to great ,great ,great- grandfather and the answer was always Canada, then this geordie lad turned to me and said I suppose we should just call him Geronimo.Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Branyy   10 #2501 Posted October 16, 2018 Trying to dismiss someone by calling them "Pocahontas" seems pretty racist to me Is Pocahontas racist slur now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

XXTickerXX   10 #2503 Posted October 16, 2018 In Warrens case they can't claim she doesn't know what she's on about, hence the made up conspiracy theory and "Pocahontas" slur  Trump said that if she runs for president and they are in a debate together, he would challenge her to take a test and offer $1 million if she is Indian.  She hasn’t announced she’s running and they haven’t debated.  Here is the clip of what he said..   He would owe her about $960 otherwise for the 1/10124 heritage she claims she has. Even the Cherokee nation has denounced her...  https://i.redd.it/83u8q4d37fs11.jpg  She must be a person of colour though because that's she got hired by Harvard for that very reason.  It's just non stop losing for the democrats lately. I hope Avenatti takes the defamation case for Stormy Daniels all the way to the top.  http://magaimg.net/img/6gtx.jpg  It's disgusting that Democrats have poured all their hard earned money into her gofundme account and she has to give it to Trump and his legal team now. Democrats funding his 2020 election already!!  The media is silent over it so Trump tweets it and calls her Horseface, Now the media have to report on it. They get played like a fiddle every single time.  The midterms coming up and now the media and Democrats will focus on Seabiscuit, creepy porn lawyer and fake pocahontas and they will wonder why they lost.

Sierra   22 #2507 Posted October 16, 2018 If your family has been in the USA for generations it's very likely you have some native blood, it's actually extremely common.  This whole debacle is ridiculous. Donald Trump is having fun with her. Elizabeth Warren should know better than to get into a pi**ing contest with him, because she's going to lose.  Like the annoying boy who kicks the back of your chair in class or teases you until you cry, he's goaded her into doing something that's made her look foolish. And now his friends are doing it, too.  He was kidding around with her and she took him seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
