Because it still benefits her. Look at these comments and tell me that it doesn’t benefit Warren to continue her farcical “ancestry”:

Counterpoint: George Costanza is easily one of the most depraved sitcoms characters of the last 30 years. I don’t think knowing what he does is wrong has ever truly stopped him.

Bob, you could have told somebody.

So he’s going with ‘my brain was hacked’?

Yes, she did. Stop repeating BS that can be debunked with a 5 second Google search.

Thank you. I was honestly starting to feel like I was out of place for calling her out, but the use of “Pocahontas” especially makes me flinch because that’s what one of my friends was called by her white rapist. I’ve witnessed first hand one of her PTSD episodes. It makes me angry that Warren has been claiming Native…

Not enough.

Plankton, I can see why you’d think I am using a trope. I am not. Whether you choose to believe I have “real” Native friends or not is completely up to you. Nor did I “presume” indigenous perspective. I have now linked to several different articles that have been authored by Native writers and genealogists, and their…

A red Corvette with a body kit, gold wheels, and NACA ducts you say? Remember kids, things can always be worse.

Right. This article’s “Well who knows!” attitude to the question of Warren’s ancestry is playing it real coy. All signs point to her NOT being what she claimed to be when it was convenient.

I guess it depends on what you want. But the earlier fj80 is generally considered less desirable to the later fzj80. They both have their purpose though

Ha ha ha! Oh no. Not new at all. Been around long enough to know that if you don’t respond directly TO them, they can’t dismiss you, so I can go through other replies to do reposts.

I agree about the fight, I AM Native American and I hate Warren and the fake natives. It takes away from those of us who ARE. Most people dont get that. I am between 1/4 and 1/2 by my blood quantum and when I filed for a grant for small business support I was told I didnt qualify this year, yet people with ZERO…

Don’t tell me what’s what. Warren is not Cherokee in anyway. There is NO PROOF in the records that anyone in her family tree is Cherokee. That’s the facts. Even today she issued a statement still saying she is of Cherokee ancestry. That’s a lie. She’s a lawyer for Gods sake. She has nothing she can point to to…

Thank you for the beautifully argued ass kicking in this thread.

Tourists like Warren who blithely treat their bullshit native ancestry as an avenue to play “minority” really, really piss me off.

I have 2 Cherokee* grandmothers, but I’m easily the most white-presenting member in my family. Despite having been a tribal citizen my whole life, I always felt like I didn’t “count”…

[Reposting, since my reply was dismissed]

I never claimed Trump using Pocahontas isn’t a slur. What I am correcting is Michael’s claim that Warren is Native American. She isn’t. Trump has a long history of racism not just against black people, but also Native Americans. I also posted a link for Mataoka’s real story, and pointed out why it’s problematic that…

Donny Tiny Hands can get fucked with a rusty ass razor blade, for all I care. What I’m not about is defending Warren’s exploitation of Natives by claiming native ID without any proof.

That wealth is going to start trickling down any time now!
