Newly uncovered documents posted on a blog show that two ancestors of Massachusetts U.S. Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren were listed on government forms as “white,” despite the Democratic candidate repeatedly saying that she comes from Native American heritage.
Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes posted census data on her blog this weekend that she says shows that Warren’s mother, Pauline Herring, listed herself as “white” in 1940.
Barnes also posted a death certificate for Warren’s “Aunt Bea,” who was listed as “white” on the form. Elizabeth Warren’s name is listed on the death certificate.
The Democratic candidate once famously cited her Aunt Bea’s characteristically Native American “high cheekbones”as evidence of her American-Indian ancestry.
That’s odd,
I went to school with a white girl with “high cheekbones”. She was of French extraction, very tall, smoked cigars, cussed like a sailor, and hung out in bars.
She was quite popular.
-Just saying
Warren’s logic capabilities are clearly flawed, it’s a shame this doesn’t disqualify her as a senatorial candidate.
How her logic works:
1. Native Americans have high cheekbones. (Generalization unsupported by fact)
2. “Aunt Bea” had high cheekbones.
Conclusion: “Aunt Bea” is of Native American heritage. (With this simplicity level of acceptance of a small sampling of “fact” to reach her conclusion, I expect Elizabeth Warren also believes in climate change.)
Let’s look at this with normal logic including known facts.
1. Many people of all racial heritage have high cheekbones.
2. Some Native Americans do not have high cheekbones.
3. High cheek bones are “more prevalent” in skinny people and can be a sign of starvation/malnutrition.
4. Elizabeth Warren’s “Aunt Bea” had high cheekbones (Unverified, but we will give the benefit of doubt and accepted this as possible).
Conclusion: Elizabeth Warren’s “Aunt Bea” may have been of one of the many humans who have high cheekbones. (It is unknown if she was “skinny” starved or suffered from malnutrition.)
Ward Churchill got away with lying about his background far longer than I thought he would.
Obama’s ”auto”biography has been shown to be a pack of lies but people STILL support him.
Warren will probably not lose many votes over her history of lying.
After all she votes their way and that’s all they care about.
I’ll bet she also listed her gender as “female”.
