Elizabeth Warren is done.
Elizabeth Warren has listed herself as a “minority professor” in the Association of American Law Schools’ annual directory and Harvard listed her as a minority professor as well.
The Ivy League law school prominently touted Warren’s Native American background, however, in an effort to bolster their diversity hiring record in the ’90s as the school came under heavy fire for a faculty that was then predominantly white and male.
“Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American and one is Hispanic,” The Harvard Crimson quotes then-Law School spokesman Mike Chmura as saying in a 1996 article. The Crimson added that 83 percent of the Law School’s students believed the number of minority women on staff was inadequate.
“Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said professor of law Elizabeth Warren is Native American,” the Crimson wrote.
The Crimson noted Warren’s heritage again in 1998 when Lani Guinier became the first black woman tenured at the law school, mentioning that Warren was “the first woman with a minority background to be tenured.”
She was listed as “Native American,” not “part Native American.”
Now there are ominous smoke signals ahead for her.
This “Native American” never had time for Native American events at Harvard:
Shelly Lowe, executive director of Harvard University’s Native American Program (HUNAP), told Breitbart News today that U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren had not, to her knowledge, participated in the program’s events while Warren was a professor at Harvard.
And it turns out that a much more significant part of her heritage participated in some nasty anti-Indian events.
But the most stunning discovery about the life of O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford is that her husband, Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, was apparently a member of the Tennessee Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern United States and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), Tennessee—the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837.
This new information about Ms. Warren’s true heritage came as a direct result of a lead provided to me by William Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection, who in turn had received the information from one of his readers. Jacobson, who has questioned Warren’s explanation for her law faculty listing, calls this discovery “the ultimate and cruelest irony” of the Warren Cherokee saga.
Jonathan Crawford, O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford’s husband and apparently Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, served in the East Tennessee Mounted Infantry Volunteer Militia commanded by Brigadier General R. G. Dunlap from late 1835 to late 1836. While under Dunlap’s command he was a member of Major William Lauderdale’s Battalion, and Captain Richard E. Waterhouse’s Company.
These were the troops responsible for removing Cherokee families from homes they had lived in for generations in the three states that the Cherokee Nations had considered their homelands for centuries: Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
While these involuntary home removals were not characterized by widespread violence, the newly displaced Cherokee mothers, fathers, and children found an oppressive and sometimes brutal welcome when they finally arrived at the hastily constructed containment areas. An estimated 4,000 Cherokees were warehoused in Ross’s Landing stockades for months awaiting supplies and additional armed guards the Federal Government believed necessary to relocate them on foot to Oklahoma.
Throughout her campaign Warren has been a hypocritical fraud. She’s whined about the 1% even though she pulls down $400,000 plus every year from Harvard and is worth $14 million.
She has been aptly labeled “Fauxchahontas.”
Stick a fork in her.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.

YES, BUT I was refering to the movement of humans detaching themselves from the main source of power, maybe to save their lives or their families, or having been shun out to exile, or in time of famine or mass nature destruction which force their exile as a group made up of capacity to reproduce and multiply,
i have heard that in theARTIC LANDS THE INOUITS AT THOSE TIME COULD EASYLY CROSS THE WATERS FROM ASIA BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY AT THOSE TIMES , AND EMIGRATE OR BE STUCK
BY THE NATURE RIGOROUS LIVING UNABLE THEM TO RETURN OR FOR OTHER REASON,
IN THOSE TIME IT WAS A TREND TO SEND THE PRISONERS OUT TO WANDER IN OTHER LANDS,
I’M THINKING OF AUSTRALIA.
IT’S VERY INTERESTING TO TOUCH THOSE TIME AND GIVE A GLIMPS, IT MIGHT GIVE US ALL CLUES FOR TODAY IN THIS COUNTRY BOMBARDED BY ETHNIES WHO FOR SOME WANT TO GET THE ROOTED CITIZENS OUT AND TAKE THEIR PLACE AND CHANGE THEIR PEACEFUL CONSTITUTION BECAUSE OF THEIR QUEST TO CONQUER, AND MAKE AMERICAN FROM ROOTS THEIR SLAVES,
that lead me to add that TOLERANCE MUST TAKE A HALT AT TIME WHICH AMERICA IS ATTACKED FROM HER FOUNDATION AND THAT TOLERANCE COULD RETURN AS THE DANGERS HAS PASS AND PEACE HAS RETURNED TO UNIFY THE COUNTRY
I just ran into an add about the Mi’kmaw HERITAGE AND CULTURE, IN NOVA SCOTIA.
FOR SOME WHO ARE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT TRIBE,
THE ANCIENT LEGEND OF GLOOSCAP,
AND IN SHUBENACADIE, THERE WAS A RESIDENCE WHERE INDIAN CHILDREN WHERE FORCE TO ATTEND,
@DiveCon:
Thank you for being Obvious, but you fail to understand that many root cultural myths that premated the Americas can be traced to either Aztec or Mayan influence. The people were semi to full fledge Nomadic pending family groups, cultural mingling was going to happen outside of the Yucatan from generations of traveling.
Mr. Irons
hi,
yes it took generetions to get to AMERICA,
THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT IMPORTANT FACT, I fail to mention it,
I always remember ,when I was in my first school age, that there was 5 races,
defines by colors, red yellow black and white, I forgot the fifth one, or was it only four races.

Oh greg and rich….

Lynda Smith, the amateur genealogist who unknowingly found herself at the root of the false “Elizabeth Warren is 1/32 Cherokee” meme introduced to the media by “noted” genealogist Chris Child of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, acknowledged in an email to me this past Saturday, May 12, that her statement in a March 2006 family newsletter upon which Mr. Child based his claim of Ms. Warren’s Cherokee ancestry was made with no supporting documentation. It was, in fact, an honest mistake that Ms. Smith now acknowledges is entirely without foundation.
Hahahahahahaha!!!
And there’s more
So greg and rich, where are you now?
This is very bad for warren. Good for us overall.
I’m not surprised a dem would lie for personal/political gain. It seems to be a mandatory thing for them.
Hard Right
well you know, those DEMOCRAT’S JOBS ARE GOLDEN JOBS, and they will do anything to
get it, what? dishonest? ah that’s nothing, what? lies ah that is for a job with all benefits and high money,
it’s worth some lies, what? promises, if it take promises she will do like OBAMA ANYTHING YOU WANT,
WHAT? DID YOU GIVE MONEY TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN? DON’T WORRY, YOU WILL BE REWARDED
BEYONG YOUR WILDEST DREAM IF HE WIN AGAIN.
well he won’t win ELISABETH WARREN, AND YOU WON’T EITHER, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE FIND YOU DISHONEST AND THE CHEROKEE ARE NOT FOOLED EASY, THEY HAVE SEEN THAT BEFORE,
AND BEFORE THE BEFORE A LONG TIME BEFORE THOSE TWO BEFORE,
YOU WILL FOLLOW OBAMA IN IN THE LINES OF JOBS SEEKERS
Oops!

H.R. I repeat. I ‘ve got no problem with Brown,a moderate like Romney,who often votes with the Dems and has disowned the T.P.
As to the Indian heritage flap,As silly as the time wasted on Romney’s teenage bullying.
Pols should spend more time on real issues.
I see Brown winning in Mass. and the national election a toss up.I’m undecided and look forward to the
Obama -Romney debates
BTW Bet the Cherokees were suprised to find the white folk claiming their heritage. They had no idea how cool they were—After the massacres and all.
Recent polls are finding Warren’s lies are an embarrassment to her local Mass. Dems!
52 percent of the 304 Patch readers who took our unscientific poll said they believe US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is a hypocrite for checking the box.
(And we learned that well over 60% of Mass voters are dems!)
But I think the liberal box-checker has also done all of America a disservice by using her ”blood” to get ahead.
Remember who was most obsessed with the blood of his people?
Adolph Hitler.
Even one DROP of Jewish blood was enough to get you sent to the concentration camps.
We are, as Bill Murry once said, a nation of mongrels.
It would be best for us to just stop with all of the box-checking and accept that fact.
A goodly number of Americans refuse to check boxes, even if they could.
That’s a good way to go.
What Warren did is a bad direction.
I only hope her stupidity leads to a broad movement away from the ego weakness she suffers from.
Let’s try merit as opposed to blood privilege, shall we?
Nan G. Isn’t it interesting that being part Indian is now perceived as a good thing. How bout we ACTUALLY TREAT the INDIANS LIKE EQUALS. see #60
IMHO Too many on here use comparisons to Hitler MUCH TOO FLIPPANTLY. That monster was evil incarnate.
@Richard Wheeler:
Rich, I agree with the all-too-flippant Hitler-comparisons.
But in this case I don’t think I did that.
SHE made a big thing out of a potential 1/32nd of her bloodline.
Shame on her!
Hitler made equally big things out of such small amounts of various types of ancestries.
@Hard Right: “I’m not surprised a dem would lie for personal/political gain. It seems to be a mandatory thing for them.”
You’re a little slow on the uptake aren’t you, HardRight? I’ll ask the same question that’s been asked a couple of times already: When did Elizabeth Warren use her supposed heritage for personal gain?
Can the right be as dense as they seem to be? Does the expression “Dumb as a box of rocks” mean anything to you?
It just gets worse and worse
Fordham piece called Warren Harvard Law’s ‘first woman of color’
@drjohn:
But, drjohn, ecru is a color.
So is pasty white.
Hard to believe she was the first one though.
