Elizabeth Warren backs off minority claims: 'I'm not a person of color'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Friday that she is not a person of color, despite her previous claims to Native American ancestry.

“I’m not a person of color. And I haven’t lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice, or more overt harm, that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin,” Warren said at Morgan State, a historically black college in Baltimore, Md, according to the Washington Post.

Warren came under fire this fall when she released her DNA test results that showed she had little Native American heritage. In fact, the results showed that with as little as 1/1024th American Indian blood she might well be less Native American than the average white European American.

The Boston Globe published an editorial last week that said Warren, a potential 2020 presidential hopeful, had lost her chance to win the presidency in 2016.

Poor Little Spreading Bull.  She is on the trail of tears.

This pretender is a disgrace to any person of any color.

Read another news release that reported more of what she said. Gives no credit to blacks that succeed, even if elected President.  She instead incites dissatisfaction with 'rules'.  Why does a college seek her counsel to speak and instead simply agitates instead of congratulating?

Elizabeth Warren, Speaking to Black Graduates, Warns ‘The Rules Are Rigged’ 
“Under the rules of commencement speakers I am required to say, ‘Work hard.’ And you should,” Ms. Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, said. “But I’m here with a bolder message: It’s time to change the rules. Let me say that again for those in the back. Change. The. Rules.”

“I’m not a person of color. And I haven’t lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice, or more overt harm, that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin. Rules matter, and our government — not just individuals within the government, but the government itself — has systematically discriminated against black people in this country.”  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/14/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-president.html

She should be ok; the LGBT group still needs her.

The real sad part is this, she stole from people who truly needed help.
