    Elizabeth Warren Ancestry Thread

    Since I inadvertently started a thread digression (Sorry!), can we move the discussion here? What I said, which pretty much one and all disagreed with, was that I wish she'd take a damn DNA test and announce the results one way or another. I like Warren rather a lot. My point was that if she...

    Why Elizabeth Warren doesn't need to take a DNA test

    We have a president who lies non-stop, yet Republicans totally disinterested in calling the President out over the diahrea of lies he tells are interested in whether Elizabeth Warren lied about her Indian heritage. They are demanding that she take a DNA test to prove that she was truthful...

    Why does America still endorse the One Drop Rule?

    There was a thread in religion and philosophy called Miscegenation. The OP of the thread simply asked, "your thoughts"? The responses of posters varied mildly. Some thought wtf, others thought GREAT! At any rate, I've seen one post about racial purity. How the concept of racial purity is just...

    Hispanics are not a race, in New York City

    I just heard a report on NY1, Time Warner Cables NYC news station, that said that NYC schools will be requiring all students to report their race. And if they dont do so, a schoo official will actually LOOK at them, and determine their race for them. Furthermore, "Hispanic" can not be used as...

    Obama refers to self as a "mutt," does this change anything?

    Jokingly referred to himself as a "mutt" when talking about the future first dog. Does this alter anyone's perception of him as a black president, does it change the way people think he sees himself? And does this invite any similar comments from the Rush Limbaugh's of the world? Rk_uGSBn__c
