What if Trump is more Native American than Warren ...

If so, does that mean he's our first Native American president?

That would mean their would be a lot of Native Americans denying that they are Native Americans.

It is absurd for someone who could be 1250/1 Native American to claim they are a "woman of colour". The Democrats are obsessed by race.

Only because the Republicans deny racism wherever it exists, yet has proven to be reactionary when it comes to reversing civil rights and supporting voter suppression based on race. And no, the so called reverse racism that Republicans spout off about doesn't count.

Racism racism racism racism you say? The insane woman should be removed from any position of power. She's a proven liar. Using race to try and advance her career when she isn't even part of that race is completely insane.

Do you know anything about Warren's fight against Wall Street on behalf of ordinary Americans? This one thing about her - whether she's a Native American or not - is being blown out of proportion by the Oligarchs who want to crush ordinary people under foot of unregulated capitalism.

Reverse racism is a crock of sh*t. In my 52 years of life, never have I ever been discriminated against because I'm a straight white man, and I think most other whites have had the same experience. So called reverse racism is an invention of the reactionary right who want to use it to stir up white rage in order to reverse civil rights gains.

I would agree with you if she was genuinely doing that. She's an opportunist. And now the Republicans have a free shot at her for her lying. We all need to stop relying on politicians. They are all corporate puppets.

Wrong. Disparaging, deriding, demeaning or otherwise thinking less of someone because of their race is...Racism, period. I would never relent on that. Racism is wrong no matter who a person is and in my book no one should get a free pass.

I am 25% Blackfoot. However regarding Warren, the Cherokee nation determined some time ago that you must have at least 1/16th Cherokee blood to count as eastern band Cherokee. http://www.cherokeemuseum.org/learn/faq#q10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_quantum_laws

That is to be a member of their tribe.

However, isn't she from Oklahoma? If she can document her descent from someone on the Dawes rolls, I belive that she is eligible to join regardless of her blood quantum.

None of which has ever happened to me because of my race, and which I can guess probably never happened to you. Reverse racism is nothing more than a means for whites to blame their loss of socio-economic standing on someone who has it worse than they do.
