I noticed you never answered the simple question, when Trump stated he couldn't release his returns because he was audited was he lying or telling the truth?

When white people pretend to be "one-quarter" Indian, why do they always pick "Cherokee?" Notice how it's never Nez Perce or Ho-Chunk or Choctaw or something else? It's always Cherokee. Curious.

As to the original topic of the thread, I've addressed it and asked some questions.

By the way, if she and others like her really believe our criminal justice system is permeated with racism, why in the world would they encourage any person with brown or black skin to stay here, much less immigrate here? That doesn't reflect well on them, does it? That's more or less inviting disadvantaged groups to stay here/come here and be oppressed.

Apache is also popular.

Those are the "cool" sounding Indians.

Yes you have at least intelligently addressed her comments and for that I give you credit. I think she was incorrect in claiming the entire system is racist but there are most certainly elements that do treat minorities different.

Do you think Warren is telling the truth in this case? Do you think her story of being chased around an office by an elderly professor is true? I have to tell you: as soon as I read the latter story, before reading any commentary on it, I immediately concluded it was manure. It read like the someone telling a story based upon what she's seen on TV or someone with little experience with aggressive men would concoct.

Most politicians lie. But when they lie, it's usually to help their political standing or to avoid talking about an affair. These instances with Warren are different. She seems to be lying about things that really wouldn't benefit her much if they were true. I get worried when people lie about things for no apparent reason. Then you start moving into pathological territory.
