"Warren has said she was proud of her Native American heritage and that she listed herself as a minority in the legal directory from 1986 through 1995, because she was hoping to connect with “people like me.’’ The directory, however, did not list her as someone with Native American heritage. It simply said “minority.’’ "
There is nothing wrong with attempting to reconnect with a rediscovered ancestry.
I would personally look at how indigenous tribes, especially the one she claims to be related to, accept her claims of heritage more than what other politicans think about it.
So Warren is 1/64 and the chief of the Cherokee is 1/32. She's half as Native American as the chief of the Cherokee. Are both of them Native American? Are neither of them?
Or does that just happen to be the cutoff point where you're not allowed to say you're Native American? On what grounds?
Apparently the military of Myanmar paved the way for the Rohingya genocide by using Facebook to spread misinformation from sham accounts. They would spread fake stories about violence by the Rohingya and post pictures of corpses that supposedly were the victims of Rohingya terrorism.
I've never understood this kind of mentality. If you have to flat-out make shit up to prove an argument, wouldn't you at some point realize that the argument was wrong?

No, because these days most people hold their political beliefs with the same fervor and intensity as religious beliefs. You cannot use logic to convince someone else of the existence--or non-existence--of God (by whatever name you wish to use) just like it is becoming nigh-impossible to use logic to bring someone to the point where they change their mind on a political position. Any evidence which does not align with their worldview is automatically discounted as incorrect or wrong. Fabricating news items is merely another facet of this and is designed to justify whatever decision has already been made.
re: Senator Warren....there are far too many people who are far too concerned with ethnicity and/or genetic heritage these days; those things are irrelevant. Well, at least they *should* be irrelevant--in my view, we are all equal and so, to me, no one should have any advantage--or disadvantage--based on something so trivial. Then again, I view things differently than most people.
The whole argument about this is silly, really, if Warren were Trump and did the exact same things in his life we'd all be in agreement that he was deceptive and also probably a bad person for doing it.
1/32 would be the minimal qualification under 1940's rules. After that, 1/16th is the least amount you can have to qualify. Some need direct documentation of ancestry, which she also doesn't have.
So, even if we give the most favorable possible interpretation to her results, and the most generous context possible, she's not Native American, a minority, or Harvard's first woman of color. She used the mantle of such to better her chances of employment. That is all.
no one should have any advantage--or disadvantage--based on something so trivial. Then again, I view things differently than most people.
I agree, but that's not the world we live in, or the world the modern Democrat Party is creating. A minority ethnicity is an employment advantage and an educational advantage on a structural level, and when the Obama's of the world are in office, well, your race and religion will be the determining factor for top level positions.

It's the George Washington's Axe argument. If you replace the handle, is it still George Washington's Axe? What about of you also replace the axe head?
My understanding is that the tribes specify how much of a percentage of native American blood you need to be considered a part of the tribe.
So Trump said he's not going to pay the charity. Shocking. He didn't pay the veterans charity either when he promised to do that.
She never brought this up at all. Nor did she ever claim any tribal identity (as her video today makes clear). The side that is "not concerned with identity politics" are the ones who made it an issue and given rise to the"scandal". For people who claim not to care about this kind of stuff, they sure cared about it a metric shit-ton when it came to Elizabeth Warren. The right will play the identity politics game when it suits them yet base their entire message around the idea that no one should care about it.

Right. It's such an advantage to be a Person of Color in America. Consult the ratio of wealth, government, unemployment, and even access to the ability to vote between being white and a POC would prove your point /s

Personally, I think she was kindof dumb to play back at Trump over this. She doesnt really gain much, except the *hope* that this wont be used against her as effectively in 2020. That said, I totally agree that for all the "Holier than thou" speech we get from Conservatives on identity politics, they do it JUST as much as anyone else (See how they're weaponized aggrievement in US politics).

If you don't fight back, Trump walks all over her with his "Pocahontas" bit, letting him define the narrative about her in perpetuity. If you call him on it, you are seen as "playing into his game", when the fact is that NOT playing his game is just as bad if not worse when his bullshit goes unchallenged day after day after day. The best tweet I saw about it today said this:
"The Elizabeth Warren DNA gambit encapsulates in microcosm what the Dems have been prone to for so long: A credulous insistence that fact-checking can dispel talking points made in cynicism and bad faith."
There is no right way to play a rigged game. If you don't stand up to the bully, he keeps taking your lunch money. If you fight back, you are criticized for sinking to his level. I mean, I've read "Catch-22", and I see it's applications to real-life everyday. The thing I found most interesting about that book is about 60% of the way through it, I started to become exhausted just reading it. Which I think was by design. Then apply that to how the lessons of the book mirror real life.
What happened when Barack Obama released his birth certificate?? No one changed their mind. The people who think he wasn't born in the United States still think that and shifted to the idea that it was forged. But at least it but them on blast for 48 hours or so.
Trump, on the other hand, gets away with everything because, for the most part, even his SUPPORTERS agree he is lying dirtbag. They just don't care. So the Overton Window not only moves, it becomes completely irrelevant. I again bring up that tax story from the NYT last week. That shit would have spelled the beginning of the end of ANY other Presidency, Republican or Democrat. It would still be front page news. And it's basically disappeared. Since Trump is just assumed to be an insanely corrupt, borderline criminal sleazebag, he by default gets a pass on nearly everything that would RUIN any other politician. Pretty neat deal.
Here's an iron-clad prediction you can apply to any instance of this for the next two years: ANY time a 2020 hopeful pushes back on Trump's bullshit about them it will be spun in the media as "playing his game" and "Trump dictating the terms of the race". Which is simply another way of saying Democrats should sit there like meek little children and never fight back.
Sitting around and waiting for the American people to come to the correct conclusion is a fool's errand. For whatever reason, they respond to strength, even if it's false strength and bullshit bravado. Half of Trump's appeal is that he tells them they are going to "win". It's a completely amorphous concept that means nothing, but that's all it takes. If you want the vast majority of voters to understand something, you better be able to fit it on a bumper sticker, because it's all most of them can handle.
90k wiped from voting rolls in Nevada between 2016-2017. Republican Secretary of State claims they moved.
“Our experts, reviewing these lists, have found that the overwhelming majority of voters who have supposedly moved out of state or out of their home counties have, in fact, not moved an inch,” the press release notes. “most remain at their original registration address.”
In North Dakota, Native Americans tend to vote Democrat. So the Republican State Legislature made it almost impossible for them to vote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMYnzvrMqhE
The easiest long-term fix would be to construct a post office station with box numbers then assign that address to a precinct. That is how it worked at the university I attended.
@Mathsorcerer This isn't the first time they've tried to prevent these students from voting. Students are allowed to vote where they live, especially if they live on campus. But because this is a compus with a school population that is 80% Black in Texas, the county keeps trying to make it as hard as possible for them to vote. :P
I don't disagree with that assessment. However, the SecState for Texas has already solved the problem for 2018 and I presented an easy solution moving forward in the future, so it shouldn't be a problem any more. If it continues to be a problem...well, it isn't my fault if people fail to follow my sage advice.
"“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” said Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven.”"
It seems like this is becoming an even greater go to for the Republicans. Not allowing people who are likely to vote Democrat to vote, or making extremely difficult for them to vote. Closing polling places, not allowing people without a street address to vote, and so on.

It goes back to at least 2000 when Gore "lost" Florida by ~350 votes there was evidence of at least 50k votes that were not counted.
The GOP doesn't like Democracy because they can't win on the issues the only way to win is to cheat. The only way for them to get close is confusing their Fox News watchers on culture warz (omg buttery males!, kneeling NFL players!, the war on Christmas!, gay wedding cakes!)

Wonder what they think about the Pochohontus nickname and when Trump called for the DNA test. It was after all his idea, she didn't come up with the idea.
But with Trump, as usual the truth doesn't matter. Trump lied for years about Obama's birth certificate and when he put it out he didn't stop lying or, you know, apologize and admit he'd been lying. Same thing with this "Indian DNA test" conspiracy theory it won't stop him from lying.
I can see their reasoning here. If you believe that a fetus is human life, then abortion is child murder. Whether murder or abuse is worse varies from person to person.

The reason I can have a legitimate discussion about abortion with @ThacoBell is because I know his opposition comes from deeply rooted personal experience and I know he supports government assistance for low-income children (or at least isn't adamantly opposed to it). I don't think an abortion is ever something to celebrate. It's just something I believe a woman should have a right to choose to do. I find the term "get it taken care of" extremely distasteful. I simply do not feel I have a right to tell a woman to grow another human being inside her for 9 months.
The ACLU apparantly wants Harvard to discriminate against Asians because it would benefit white students for them to not racially discriminate. The ACLU has become an absolute joke. Both Harvard and Yale are under investigation by the Justice Department for discriminating against Asian Americans in their admissions, being the most qualified candidates academically but also admitted at lower rates.
It's funny how whites have become so hated on the left that the mere implication that a ruling or policy would benefit them is seen as an argument against it. God forbid!
Some background info on the actual trial going on today can be found here. I think proving intent is going to be difficult for them, but in my opinion it's clear that if they are the most qualified candidates yet admitted at the lowest rate, even when factoring for other factors like legacies and athletics, that there is some discrimination there.
The real problem, is this social justice obessesion with using race rather than merit as a factor in boosting your chances of success.
These issues are easy to fix. Remove all personal information from the applications and assign a number to them.
Stop using standardized test scores, like the PSAT mentioned in the article, in college admissions decisions. Performance on such tests correlates with household income, not academic performance in college.
"Tuesday's raid was related to an ongoing investigation into whether the mayor's office and other city officials had shown favoritism when the city agreed to a contract with the company BR Solutions for $4.7 million over two years."
BS Solutions is a consulting firm. How the government can consider favouritism to a consulting firm is absurd.
This is a political attack full stop. Even the attire of bulletproof vests (while raiding a government building) is absurd. For reference, when the FBI raided Cohen, they were only wearing field jackets. I sure hope someone can call out this BS.
