@SenWarren played into @realDonaldTrump’s hands and ended up looking foolish. If she wants to keep calling herself Native American, that is between her and the Cherokee nation. I think the whole thing is simply tedious. #CultureWars are Trump’s winning hand. #ItsTheEconomyStupid

If a DNA test shows she has Native American blood, she has it. At issue was the relative who told her the stories, they may have exaggerated the story. That’s not her fault and they’re not here to defend themself. Scientific facts do not lie.

“This is our reality. We are faced with an onslaught of people who have never lived in our shoes saying, “Those are my shoes too,” simply because they spit into a small, hermetically sealed glass tube and got back DNA results that say they are 7 percent Native American. 1/x

“Too often, Native Americans hear the words “I took a DNA test and…” Too often, our heritage and racial identity has been co-opted by others for monetary gain, to claim some exoticism in their identity, or simply because someone wanted an excuse to wear a really pretty costume”

”But Native identity is not just about tracing a distant ancestor back to our tribe. It’s about cultural heritage, our shared experiences, and participating in our community.”” 3/xhttps://www.vox.com/first-person/2018/10/17/17985886/elizabeth-warren-claims-native-american-descent …

So, not having written bonafides means she has no.native blood? That seems more a problem for the Cherokee nation than the Senator. I do hope they never try to use DNA in the future. But, that’s just me. It sounds a tad xenophobic to me.

Feel free to lecture the Cherokee nation on how they should deal with their intergenerational trauma of surviving genocide. I am bowing out of this conversation. Pace.

Whatever you just said. She's proving a point. Have the decency & respect her choice.

I know this isn't directed to me but I need to respond. No. Not now. There's a time and place for most things. This is not it. I respect her right to make a choice but not the choice. Not now. The house is burning and she's outside selling lemonaid. Th world is in crisis.

I stand corrected. Thank you.
