They denounce violence and call Trump a nazi but time and again we see members of the Left act out with violence against others that do not share their narrow views.



I have my fingers crossed that Warren will lose her seat this November but "yikes" that would free her up to run for the WH in 2020 and there are enough nuts out there that hate Trump enough that they would vote for a paper bag.
Yep, she is the east coast version of Maxine Waters.

I don't know whether Warren is really Native American or not. I would think most people whose families have lived in that part of the country for that long believe they have some Native American blood.
I was merely giving an example of the usage of the word being a dig at the liar and not at the ethnic group that they are committing identity theft against.

Also, you can get a DNA test for $200 or so which would clear up things pretty quickly.

P.S. Claiming minority status for advantage in hiring, college admission, financial aid, scholarships etc. is a pretty serious offense in my book since you're essentially stealing from someone else.

Who is the violent Fascist?
I do not like this woman, one bit, but who in their right mind would do such a thing? I cannot believe how nasty people are getting....

If it is not racist then it certainly is disrespectful.

You said "imagine if trump tried to claim Mexican heritage" to score an advantage. I pointed out that his family did lie about their heritage to gain an advantage. Care to comment?

From everything I've heard, the results of the DNA tests can be very iffy. I don't know Warren's ancestry. But trump's is well documented, and they're German, not Swedish.

Stop calling her Pocahontas, and maybe you can get the conversation you pretend to want. If she lied about her heritage, that's bad. But you can point that out without giving her a lazy nickname.

Did Pocahontas pretend to be Native American? No. Her only crime is that she was the first (and probably only) Native American the mouth-breathing president could think of when he was reaching for a nickname that would play to his base.

Using a single person as a proxy for an entire ethnic or religious group is offensive, because it shows that the speaker lumps them all together, without regard for any individual differences. It would be like calling all Muslims "Mohammeds" because you can't be bothered to distinguish brown people who pray to a different god.

I know a lot of Indians (that's what they call themselves) who disagree and are angry at the left for the nonsense of YOU PEOPLE defending a white woman who has utterly and completely Culturally Appropriated their heritage for the purpose of personal professional advancement!


YOU sir are the guilty party. Donald Trump is not to be blamed for Pocahantas Warren's actions. Donald Trump is not to be blamed for your putrid hypocritical defense of her actions.
