Have you stated that you are Native American on official forms throughout your life?

Resignation is extreme... Nathan Phillips "praying" in her face for a few hours should mend her evil ways!

Yes, people who lie pathologically are good at it. I don't think he even thinks about it. He just opens his mouth and lies fall out on a regular basis.

I see no reason for someone to resign because growing up she believed the stories passed down through her family. A celebrated pathological liar, on the other hand, has absolutely has no business leading this country.

Trump needs to go. He is a pathological liar.

But this thread is not about Trump.

Please stop talking about Trump.

My grandmother told me the same thing, but that's all it was. Words.
Oklahoma is full of Native Americans who weren't raised in "native American" culture so Elizabeth Warren is not unusual for around here. However, she doesn't have a relative with a Dawes roll number which is how most tribes determine membership. She absolutely didn't have the right to represent herself as native American despite the fact that what she had been told was accurate.

There are a lot of people here that are tribal members who don't really participate in the culture and look as anglo as Elizabeth Warren though.

Law school graduates don’t accidentally write down lies about their race on legal forms. They do it on purpose because they are scheming to get a perceived edge. Open your eyes!

No, she shouldn’t resign. While this will be politically damaging and likely took a blowtorch to her Presidential ambitions, this isn’t something you resign over. I’ve said before and i’ll repeat this - I don’t support calling for boycotts and resignations merely because someone said or did something that’s offensive or disagreeable. I don’t think it’s a good direction we’ve been going down as a country.

Had never been asked, not even in the Army.
