No, we progressives want every citizen and group to go forward on individual liberty. Not just the old White guys (of which I am one).

Then why not free the restrictions progressives insist upon that prevent that from happening?

Progressives on school vouchers? No.

On integration? No.

Yeah, well...

He's got the support of the neo-Nazis and skinheads.

No, you do not. You wish to impose on the liberties of all and, unlike the social conservatives, have been quite successful at it.

Default Pocahontas was not a Cherokee

She was a Powhatan.

Elizabeth Warren is a Cherokee only when it suits her purposes.

Warren is studying lying under Hillary's tutorage.

Im always amused when this comes up. Warren was told something that MANY families tell their children. If this is the best you have on Warren its pretty pathetic. Stick to attacking Hillary, at least there's some real issues there. Although I wish I saw more about her charity-thats where I think the actual serious issues reside, and yet thats been ignored a lot.

May Mommy told me I was part Indian I think I will see if that helps my career.

If white privilege truly existed we would not have all these white people transracialing and cross raceing.

Actually it was often done to hide non European parentage. By claiming "Indian" it was considered better then "black", or other sources.

Warren and others didnt do it for benefit, often it was done out of shame, or to avoid being discriminated against more.
AKA people are weird to pass it down to later generations.

Is there any evidence of non-white ancestors in Warren's line? From my quick googling I think not.

Quote:
Warren has never attempted to join a tribe and had no documentation of her Native ancestry claim before the controversy broke, Harney told William A. Jacobson, a Cornell Law School professor, in late April. Instead, Warren has cited the sayings of her Aunt Bea, who was given to complaining that Warren's maternal grandfather who "had high cheekbones like all of the Indians do" had not passed them on to her
.

Rumor has it that Cousin Opie is backing up Aunt Bea's story.
