Why do people feel so compelled to defend this guy? I didn't even mention his name and they were all over this meme. I wonder how many get their pay in Rubles. Make sure you get the Certificate ones, so that you can buy the good stuff at GUM.

Do millions of Americans that have a single native ancestor going back generations use that to misrepresent themselves for personal gain?
Didn't think so.

Ya still don't go around calling people Pocahontas like a schoolyard bully. It's called decency and respect for another human being, you know, being an ADULT.

You mean like how millions of people that virtue signal about immigrants mocks Trump with 'Drumpf'? Like that?

And for the side that cries about 'cultural appropriation' when someone non black wears dreadlocks or when a non Hispanic opens a burrito truck and you try to ruin them, people like Warren or Shaun King sure seem to get a free pass when they take a postion or scholarship from an actual minority by pretending to be one.

Those people aren't leaders of the free world, someone for children to look upto. He should be heald to a higher standard, not down like a bottom feeder.

True but the others should also be held to the standards of being an adult, as you say. Trump would get less flak by holding back but he only attacks those that attack him first. Besides, Warren is a fraud and conman, she gets what she deserves.

I am 6% lenape native american,(not much but a whole lot more than liz warren) You know what is an insult, someone saying they are native to get grants, political benefits etc when they really are not native at all. The fact that someone called that liar liz out makes me glad. What is even worse is that we are judging people by their skin for jobs I.E. affirmative action etc.when we should really be taking the best person for a job, grant etc. If you want to give grants on basis of poverty not race, that is fine by me.
Another thing, calling someone "Pocahontas", a female native american hero is no where near like calling Booker a slur.

My Mother was raised on the Penobscot reservation. I was raised as a "White," person in suburban LA. I don't resent anyone calling themselves whatever they want. I guess it is because I don't get my marching orders or reasons to hate people from others.

I am 50% Italian, my lenape great grandmother told my Italian grandparents that the Italians of that time and area (circa 1900 Pa, Nj, md ,del)were treated worse than she was. Both were treated bad though and that is wrong but now all of a sudden (you raised " as white") and I are somehow responsible for what mean bigots did over 100 yrs ago? not right.
