Afterwards, the tribal elders met and decided to give her the honorary title of "Sitting Eagle". Warren beamed with pride as she thanked the elders and left. A curious reporter asked the tribal elders if the name had any special meaning and was told "Sitting Eagle" is an eagle so full of #$%$ it can no longer fly. Just so you know, this tired old joke was also applied to Donald Trump in 2016. What you posted is a total fabrication. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankenhunter Posted October 15, 2018 Author #81 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The fact of the matter is T rump on camara told the world, his fans, and Elizabeth Warren that he would pay one million dollars to her charity of choice if she could prove she had any aboriginal blood in her bloodline. Well, she proved it. Now the trumpers are claiming that all DNA tests are hogwash. Is anyone surprised that Trump welched on yet another deal? Such an example for kids to follow.

My hereditary traits are there independent of my knowing anything about my ancestry. I never implied that our ancestors aren’t important as obviously we won’t have been born without them. But does my knowing it matter? Nope. What if I took a dna test and discovered I had African dna, does my life change? Nope. Doesn’t matter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted October 16, 2018 #96 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I question the accuracy of DNA test. I had one done on Ancestry a few years ago. Even though I am mostly European decent. It said I had 0% Irish even though my surname is Irish. Just recently Ancestry said the science has improved on DNA testing and now they're saying I'm 13% Irish. Also I might add, Now I'm 2% Scandinavian where I was 14% and from 48% to 68% English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpandMyMind Posted October 16, 2018 #97 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Kinda strange to see a bunch of Trump supporters all get aboard the 'Warren lied' train - if you take a look at what she said she actually didn't - when their own guy actually did lie about German heritage and also lied about having Swedish heritage. This lie that isn't actually a lie for Warren is being made out to be a massive scandal by them, somehow, yet it mysteriously doesn't matter when Trump actually lies. Such a strange thing to see play out in real time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHunter Posted October 16, 2018 #98 Share Posted October 16, 2018 14 hours ago, ExpandMyMind said: Okay, so if you're arguing with and clearly don't like Piney, then keep calling him Tonto mockingly, it wouldn't be racist? Of course it would be, and this is exactly the same thing. So the answer to deflecting accusations of racism is actually to be obviously racist over and over again until people become numb to it? Good to know. 1/32 is fifth generation, I believe. That's one generation off from the range of the study. I've not been able to find the quote of her saying this though and I've read elsewhere that she claimed she was 8th generation. In other words, I hardly think this is evidence of her being deceitful in any way, since she always made it clear that she was working from family lore, where an exact number was never specified. Took me longer then I thought it would to reply but better late then never. First off name calling is simply not racist no matter how badly you want it to be. A good place to start would be with how these words you like to throw around are actually defined. Racist is defined as a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the othes Racism is defined as 1: a belief that race is the primary determinate of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2a: a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles b: a political or social system founded on racism 3: racial prejudice or discrimination I know the left doesnt like for actual definitions to be used and instead prefer to use their own definitions to confuse the matter. Is name calling a belief that race is the primary determinant in traits and/or capacities, the answer is clearly no. Is name calling a doctrine, political program, or social system, once again the answer is no. Is name calling racist prejudice or discrimination, it's clearly not discrimination but then there is prejudice which requires a bit of a further look into. Prejudice is defined as 1: injury or damage resulting from some judgement or action of another in disregard of one's rightsespecially : detriment to one's legal rights or claims 2 a(1): preconceived judgment or opinion (2): an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge b: an instance of such judgment or opinion c: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics Of those definition c might apply, even then it is a rather large stretch to call name calling an irrational attitude of hostility, but name calling especially in what Trump did, and your example using piney, is not being directed against a race or even a group but against an individual. Since name calling does not meet the definition of racist or racism, name calling can not be those things unless you change how those things are defined. Name calling can be an indicator that one is indeed racist but it in and of itself is not racist. Once again you purposefully mischaracterize what I mean and are apparently using your own definition of racism and rasict so no real further point in attempting to explain it since no explanation or argument will be useful as you just change the meaning of words to suit your own ends. As for the study while it is one generation off in its total range the guy said he believed it was at 8th generation back but could be anywhere between 6 and 10 generations back so essentially Elizabeth Warren is more then likely no more Native American then the average Caucasian in America or might be even less so. I suppose the fact she seems to of used it to advance her career isn't being deceitful at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
