Elizabeth Warren’s embattled campaign: Cherokee tie found 5 generations ago

lets see what is more likely (follow along, it involves common sense and an examination of what Ms Warren wants in life-political power)

1) because she really believes that unproven family lore that she is one thirty second American Indian is something she should trumpet over and above her more dominant ethnic backgrounds

2) because the number of people with American Indian heritage trying to become Law professors or partners at big time law firms were about as scarce as rocking horse crap and she'd be able have her pick of quota slots

So tell Justabubba what makes MORE SENSE given this woman oozes ambition and an addiction for government office power and wealth

bingo. as long as you have quotas and preferences, you're going to get liars like Mrs Warren, who wish to capitalize on the actual historical suffering of others.
 
because she has cheekbones. you know, just like native americans.


Just like how my father has a large nose. I'm thinking when everything falls apart here, that makes me a shoo-in for free immigration to Israel.


:roll: whattamaroon.


well I would claim Native American Status-you see my ggggg grandfather was william Henry Harrison and I figured not only did he kill lots of "Indians" he probably raped a bunch too!!!!
 
point out all of these "quota slots"
they didn't exist
her acknowledgment of having a Cherokee heritage did not help or harm her

:lamo


I bet you think we don't even have quotas in the military :D




can't have al sharpton & co suing you! ;)

pshaw. that's nothing. go back a few hundred thousand years and I am African. You owe me remittances for slavery.

You have any proof of that "non Squire"? given how much you demand from others I figure its only fair to ask you to prove that claim

I think you are lying through your ass on that

let's see evidence of your military quotas

sorry to disappoint you another GGgrandfather was Major Anderson-the "hero" of Fort Sumpter who was on the cutting edge of freeing your ancestors (albeit a hundred thousand years removed) from those evil Democrat rebels!!!

and who was only free to do so because my ancestor was Captain Parker who commanded the militia at Lexington and started the Revolutionary War. And your ancestor lost, so I would say on top of remittances for the rest of the suffering that me and the African race have gone through, you should probably feel a little bit embarrassed.
 
:lamo


man. I've worked with the recruiters. I've seen the calls come in: we need a black female don't care what MOS, and we need her to ship by next month. etc. so on and so forth.

and you think they don't exist?


tell that to West Point, where numeric targets by race are set at 10-12 percent black and 25 percent minority.

a boy I coached was recruited to Annapolis to play that sport. He was a solid B+ student at an elite prep school and was ranked in the top 50 of his sport among graduating seniors when he was in HS. yet, without the athletics he would not have gotten in even though his numbers and SAT/ACT scores were far higher than average. Why, because minorities are accepted under far lower standards-something he noted to me after a few months there. The white kids who get in there without a sport are about the same level as white kids getting into places Like Hamilton or Georgetown and close to those going to Cornell or Dartmouth. The black kids who aren't athletes-not even close

If her Grandpa had a tomahawk up his ass, would you be convinced ? :)

He actually didn't lose. he and his best friend from West Point (Beauregard sp) had a gentlemen's agreement. The rebels wouldn't shell the unfinished arsenal in the fort and perhaps blow it up but the Union wouldn't deploy its heavier guns on the top of the ramparts which could have hit the confederate artillery. I believe the only casualties involve a couple killed or injured during a firing of a salute!!

it was a big sham. The rebel general was a hero for taking the fort without any real loss of life, Major Anderson was a hero for "forcing terms" that allowed him to march out with the colors intact (and in the first year of the war, the Union needed heroes!!)

The boston side of the family went to harvard

The cincinnati side mainly Yale though my youngest brother got his graduate degree at Hahvad and was tenure track professor there when he decided to put his degree to work and entered the profession he got his training in

As an aside, are you familiar with Abner Doubleday at Sumter ? The guy who invented baseball (he didn't, but its a good story), served with distinction throughout the Civil War, and patented the cable cars in San Fran ? He was a great second-in-command to your distant relative.

I think that it was a cannon that exploded.

Only remotely

I will tell you an interesting (at least to me) story. My late Uncle married my father's sister who died fairly young (50-from smoking related cancer). Well one day i was visiting my uncle who lived in a really nice penthouse suite cincinnati when he wasn't traveling around the world. He had a portrait of his late wife when she made her "debut". Next to her portrait was a portrait of the Major when he was commissioned. In other words, my aunt Circa 1946 or so and Major Anderson a century earlier. They looked like Brother and Sister
 
Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts darling trying to unseat Sen. Scott Brown, is not the Native American she claimed to be. :roll:



Just one more phoney baloney chump politician. You can stick a fork in her now.

I'm not reading the entire thread because if this is any reason for your disapproval of Warren you're sucking eggs. I mean, really. That's it? She's not as Cherokee as she said she is? Give me a ****ing break! LOL! You are stretching big time to make some kind of point and you failed to the point of ridicule. She lied about her percentage of Cherokee ancestry! How could anyone vote for her? :lamo

Anderson was a sharp cookie. Lincoln hung him out to dry down there. And his command did an excellent job. I do not think anyone could have done better.
