Warren releases results of DNA test showing Native American ancestry

[BBD]

Liz Warren is a "poser".  And she got caught being a "poser".  Folks don't like that.  It's not a disqualifier for the Presidency, but I'm not going to come to her rescue. 

A "poser" like posing as a successful, self-made billionaire?  When in reality he got his start by being Daddy's tax shelter, and still refuses to release financial documentation to back up any of the rest of it?

A "poser" like posing as a devout Christian (when it became time to run for president), when in reality he's a greedy, prideful, womanizing, foul-mouthed liar?

A "poser" like posing as a powerful CEO who hires only the "best people", but who's not afraid to identify weakness and tell 'em "you're fired"?  When in reality he hires a corrupt, unqualified and incompetent posse of brown-nosing toadies, and can only summon the courage to fire them via tweet?

A "poser" who poses as a man far too busy being president to play golf, but in reality has thus far spent 23% of his presidency doing just that?

A "poser" like posing as a man in excellent health and only 239 pounds, when in reality anybody with functioning eyes can tell he's clearly lying again?

And finally, a "poser" like posing as President of the United States, when in reality spends his time picking fights with the free press (a.k.a. a guarantor of our free democracy), celebrities on Twitter, women he cheated on his wives with, and our global allies (in favor of our enemies)?  Or just having the world literally laugh at him?

I agree with you that being a "poser" apparently isn't a disqualifier from the presidency.  But judging by your posting history, you seem to come to such a person's rescue regardless.

Fuzzy will twist himself into a knot trying to explain himself out of this one.

I am so confused about all the drama with Warren's DNA test... Could someone explain it to me (in layman terms) why it matters?

2020 not count.

It matters because Warren is planning to run for presidency. And that was a stupid move on her part that explicitly shows her narrow-mindness and incapability.

Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test is self-serving and dangerous to Native people

Warren is playing into a non-Native agenda to define and control the parameters of who counts as "Native American." After years of Trump and other Republican leaders bullying Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to take a DNA test to “prove” her claims of Native ancestry, she gave in. The 2020 presidential hopeful spit in a cup, sent off for the results, created a campaign style video, a website — with a Google search result ad for her name — and a full report so that the world would see the results.

In response to Warren’s highly orchestrated media roll out, the Cherokee Nation released a statement that her use of the DNA test was “inappropriate and wrong” and that her continued claim to Cherokee heritage is “undermining tribal interests.” It’s important that non-Native people walk away from this mess with the correct conclusion that Native people are the authority on who is and who isn’t Native. The science behind Warren’s specific DNA test used examples of Indigenous people from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia, and included no sample from anyone who is Cherokee or even another Native American tribe from the Southeast (Cherokee traditional homelands). The test only shows that Warren may have an ancestor who was from North, Central, or South America.

Another article. This is not going to work out well for her. She is receiving negative press. Very very stupid of her to go with this -

If Trump makes more of this, then he is the fool.

First People ancestry is common in genealogical legend, but it often proves either false, trivial, or inconclusive.

One can rule out stories that one had a Cherokee princess as an ancestor (a favorite passed-down story)  because the Cherokee had no nobility.

In much of the Southwest it indicates most likely a Mexican, Mexicans commonly having significant First People's ancestry. A French ancestor in some parts of the American northeast probably married a First people wife... so it was for traders who heeded such a wife for translating on his behalf. Ancestors from Quebec? The French settlers of Quebec got along very well with First Peoples, and wherever there was a female shortage guess who became wives.

The story of a First Peoples' ancestor is a colorful and interesting story, but unless that ancestor was born at most 120 years before one, it is only a slight part of one's ancestry, and hardly critical. That's a great-grandparent.
