Another prime example is that of far left extremist and Senate candidate, Elizabeth Warren, who is taking a bath in shame right now for checking a box that said she was of American Indian descent.
Via the Boston.com:
Warren has been forced to respond to the story incrementally, as new details have emerged, including a genealogist’s finding that documents suggested she might have been 1/32 Cherokee but would not qualify for tribal membership.Despite this, far left wing hack, Jemu Greene is defending Warren.
She had her most awkward public response on Wednesday, when she said she had checked a box listing herself as Native American for the legal directory for nearly a decade in hopes that she would “meet others like me,’’ and mentioned that she heard her aunt admiring the “high cheekbones’’ of her grandfather.
Here is a video of Warren imploding over the controversy.
It's recently been learned that George Zimmerman has black roots. In fact, he may actually have more African-American blood than Warren has American-Indian blood.
Via Reuters:
The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him.You may quibble over whether Zimmerman is more black than Warren is Indian but one thing you cannot quibble over is Zimmerman being 50% Hispanic.
A criminal justice student who aspired to become a judge, Zimmerman also concerned himself with the safety of his neighbors after a series of break-ins committed by young African-American men.
Though civil rights demonstrators have argued Zimmerman should not have prejudged Martin, one black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.
"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."
