I agree with you, but for the record 1/64 or 1.5% is enough to be card carrying.

Growing up in eastern Oklahoma I have many friends and family members that are card carrying Native Americans that look completely white.
Yep. Lots of intermarriage. Many white looking people on the Squamish reservation which is where Chief Sealth is buried. (That's where Seattle got it's name).

Oh well, put up or shut up. The drumpfs misrepresented their heritage for decades. Has he taken a DNA test to prove he's scandanavian?

I'll be voting for Warren here in MA, and if she runs for the presidency, I'll vote for her then too.

How about E. coli? Trump may have that in his DNA.

Sorry, but if she's <.1% Native American, that really isn't Native American ancestry...

Thank you for proving my point about how we would start litigating what it means to have Native American ancestry. He challenged her to do it, she called his bluff, and she won.

When do you think Trump will pay up? Or, do you think this is yet another bet he's going to welsh on? If you're an adult and you make a bet, you pay what you owe.

So Dump is going to use that logic to fight giving 1 mil to charity? If he really is worth billions, that would be like you or I throwing a few bucks in the Salvation Army bucket at Christmas.

Just a really swell guy.

From the comments here what Trump said and what Warren thinks she has "proved" are not the same. And if you want to believe that being <.1% of any demographic makes you part of that demographic, then carry on. :)

Bullshit. Warren never claimed to be of Indian heritage. I have never heard of Pocahontas being from there either.

Wut. How are you defining "heritage"?

My family (including Fox News-watchers) sat together and talked about what they think of @realDonaldTrump’s attacks on our heritage. And yes, a famous geneticist analyzed my DNA and concluded that it contains Native American ancestry.

Did he say Native American heritage? Warren is repeating that, but at the rally he said "an Indian".
Lol are you seriously going with nuh uh he said she had to prove to be something she never claimed to be but what Trump was lying about”? I mean Jesus he’s been on this for years telling her to prove herself and she proved EXACTLY what she claimed. Not the bullshit Trump and the right made up about what she claimed.

Got it, so when he loses a bet he makes up an excuse as to why he doesn't have to pay.

This is just pathetic, hahaha. I hope when she runs for president he brings it up again so she can dunk on him some more.

Most people I've come across haven't denied that she wouldn't necessarily have any. The issue was about thinking it confers some kind of minority status despite looking completely European. It's a joke.

Please describe in detail how she did not prove anything.

Why are you ignoring the 1996 article that's a tell of what she was likely thinking?

I mean at this point their argument is basically 'NUH-UH!!!!'

They don't seem to realize that flailing like this just makes them look even more pathetic than they already did. Warren won and it's over. There's no arguing it, it's there in black and white.

Her heritage is her family history. I too have family lore and photos from long ago and ancestors did walk the trail of tears. How many generations removed from Native American genetics needs to pass before our history no longer exists?

Trump was making claims that she was making any connection up because even someone who is a scoundrel could find out exactly what she has said but do not because they *are* scoundrels.

In detail, being 1/10th of one percent of something does not make you that something. By that measure Rachel Dolezal probably really is African American.

So the percentage of verified genetics determined means that her family history is invalid? How many drops of Native American blood is required to make the past real?

Neither would Warren. As already stated it was part of her family lore from way back. Others took it and ran like Trump. Well what she has said is now verified and those who denied or blew it up like Abrain are shown yet again for what they are. Trump owes charity a million, but then he like charities when he can steal from them.

That’s a good point, why doesnt he just defraud his own charity some more to pay off this debt?

It reminds me of when that guy won the hole in one at one of Trump’s golf events and then he had to sue Trump to get him to pay what he owed.

Because I’m going with what she actually said. Not what I want to claim she was thinking. But let’s do it your way. She wasn’t thinking any of that and the school went with it anyway since they were embroiled in allegations of a lack of diversity so they trotted it out.

Prove me wrong.

So are probably a 10th of white americans, so? Bottom line is, you don't get to make the rules, jackass.
