MSNBC Analyst Defends Warren, Suggests Cherokee Nation is Racist
By Kyle Drennen | October 18, 2018 4:49 PM EDT
Desperate to defend Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s disastrous political stunt of taking a DNA test to try to prove Native American heritage, late Thursday morning, MSNBC Political Analyst and SiriusXM Director of Progressive Programming Zerlina Maxwell actually insinuated that the Cherokee Nation was racist, following their statement condemning Warren.
Noting that Warren “long claimed that she’s part Cherokee,†anchor Craig Melvin cited: “Cherokee Nation, Secretary of State Cherokee Nation, said in a statement, ‘DNA testing cannot prove that Warren is Cherokee or any other tribe.’†The host asked: “Do we think that the decision itself was a mistake? Do we think that the timing was a mistake?â€

Well of course they are 'racist'. That's the whole point. They can't have every person in America claiming to be a part of their heritage. If that was the case, they would no longer exist as a distinct people.
BTW, would MSNBC ever say that the NAACP is 'racist'? Of course not. Never in a million years.

According to the Jesse Jackson definition of "racism," the Cherokee can't possibly be "racist" because they've been oppressed.
