I do have to say that in all the time I have spent as historian for four families, decent from Native Americans is one of the most common false family legends among those who have been in the country for more than 5 generations. The other is that a great grandfather, or uncle, or somebody played pro-baseball.
Both family myths are usually pretty easy to disprove, but it's never well received when you do.
As a 1/32 Cherokee Elizabeth Warren was hired to make her diversity something for Harvard University. I guess that was after they appointed a half-black man President of the Law Review. They were really hard up for some diversity high up in the school back then.
Warren has lied all along about how much of her is Cherokee and the name for how Cherokee she claims to be is pretty humorous.
Deflect and equal you of the left who think she is so great and might win an election in which she tried to use that racial diversity in.
There should be no affirmative action anyway, if there weren't any none of this mess would have happened. Warren would have been at most a lower level government worker and Obama would also never have been.
Being Obama was bad as a President, the country would have benefited more without Affirmative Action early on.

Yea, i especially don't get it when i see white folks desiring to have Indian heritage. Really? Makes no sense. You're on the team that won. You'd think that would make people happy.
Usually when they make claims of Native heritage, i just laugh uproariously. You kidding me? Kill'em off, and now you wanna be 'em? The irony is too much for my funny bone.
I guess if they'd killed off as many blacks as they did Indians, they'd claim black blood too. Well on second thought....

Yea...REALLY early on. Like when the Europeans arrived.

If you can trace your ancestry back to someone on the Dawes roll it's not hard. I don't know if that's the case with her or not, but if she was able to legally claim cherokee ancestry I'm guessing it has to be a yes.
Yea...they earned everything they got. Never took anything from anyone else at the expense of others. Never.
Most came here poor like everyone else and made it by not going as much on the dole.
Keep in mind that black families used to be more mainstream with success and two parent families before Demcrats blessed them with the great society welfare system. That disabled them, then without the men there the kids found drugs and the rest is history.
You know that if a black, white or asian comes here from another part of the world they all do real well still. They don't live in the mindset of give me.

Disabled them? Please. I'd bet a dollar to a donut that i'm doing much better than you. If anyone in this conversation is disabled, it's clearly you, not me.
We're talking about white folks claiming to be Indians...not your obsession with black people.
And your first sentence is a load of bull. Again, the first and greatest recipients of Affirmative Action were white, and it's not even close. Like, no other group can even compare. In fact, it's STILL that way.
So....
