I've got to reserve judgement here because of an odd experience I had. When I was applying to engineering schools one of them was California State University at Long Beach. I ended up going to USC. But I received an acceptance letter from Cal State Long Beach and it mentioned that I was being admitted in-part due to Native American heritage. What is odd is that I did not apply for consideration for it and *did not mention it anywhere on my application*. They have some kind of database or something or otherwise just made a complete error in processing though I do have a Choctaw great-grandmother. It was confusing and weird. Elizabeth Warren might have had something like that happen because who would bother to claim 1/32 native heritage? Its a complete joke and would not even qualify someone for tribal membership in any tribe in the entire country.
My mother is a card carrying tribe member. I'm proud to say I've never once claimed to be a minority. I say off with her scalp.
White and wrong: On the reservation with Elizabeth Warren We all know about âundocumented workers.â Now we have Elizabeth Warren, the undocumented Indian. Funny thing, I think Ted Williams was one-fourth Mexican. He was white. Johnny Bench is one-eighth Indian. I always think of him as white. And then thereâs Pochantas Warren, the blue-eyed, one-32nd Cherokee (or so weâre told) who went from the Southwest Conference to the Ivy League over the course of a decade in which she was claiming to be a âminority professor.â But once sheâd parlayed the racial-spoils racket all the way to a tenured position at Harvard Law, she decided to ... pass, as they used to say in the old South. Once sheâd reached the pinnacle of her trade, she ditched the fake-Indian routine. Maybe White Eyes Warren saw the smoke signals and figured out that someone was going to call her out on her ancestry. She was right. Still, allâs well that ends well. She has her $1.7 million wigwam in Cambridge. Greedy Wall Street lawyers slurp top-shelf firewater at her $1,000-a-head Manhattan fundraisers. Maybe someday sheâll even smokum peace pipe with Tim Geithner. But the greatest thing about this latest outbreak of Politically Correct hypocrisy is it shows just how morally and intellectually bankrupt âaffirmative actionâ is. The race card â like so many others, Barack Obama never leaves home without it. And a couple of weeks ago, he was reading off the Teleprompter that he (unlike, presumably, Mitt Romney) wasnât âborn with a silver spoon in his mouth.â Excuse me? What would you call a free pass to Columbia and then Harvard Law? For a guy who thinks there are 57 states and that they speak âAustrianâ in Austria? Who pronounces corpsman âcorpsemanâ? Who became editor of the Harvard Law Review without ever having written a single article for the publication? Who can forget Elizabeth Warrenâs ârise from poverty.â That hasnât been mentioned much since we found out that by 1965, her family had three cars, one of which was Grannyâs white MG, a car that was, the Globe sadly informed us, âbeat up.â And you say Pocahontas Warren hasnât got a right to sing the blues? Then there was Grannyâs $168,000 gig working for Travelers Insurance when they were trying to fend off lawsuits from victims of asbestos poisoning. Kind of like Deval Patrick being on the board of subprime monster Ameriquest, or Barackâs dealings with convicted racketeer Tony Rezko. All of them, theyâre better than you, because youâre an oppressor. Theyâre the oppressed â they went to Harvard Law.
My guess is Republicans would be upset if Obama mentioned he was part Irish <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4fllzUQKYLY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Obama is more white than Warren is Indian and you won't dare call him that. But you'll call Warren an Indian. Card carrying race hustler is all you are. My own damn mother has never once claimed she was an Indian.
