Elizabeth Warren who also goes by her Indian name Lies on Race Box is in big heap-um trouble. The earnest reform-minded liberal running for Senate against Scott Brown R-Mass. lied about being part-Cherokee to get a job at Harvard.
Harvard took full advantage of Warrens lie bragging to The Harvard Crimson about her minority status during one of the near-constant student protests over insufficient diversity in the faculty. Warren also listed herself as an Indian in law school faculty directories and just last month said I am very proud of my Native American heritage.
Except oops she has no more evidence that shes an Indian than that buffoon out of Colorado Ward Churchill.
The Boston Globe immediately leapt to Warrens defense quoting a genealogist who found a marriage license on which Warrens great-great-uncle scribbled that his mother Warrens great-great-great grandmother was a Cherokee. This is not part of the official marriage license. (If I scribble Kenyan on Obamas birth certificate does that make it true?)
But lets say its true. That would make Warren a dotriacontaroon -- 1/32nd Cherokee. Thats her claim to affirmative action bonus points? You dont know what its like to be 1/32nd Cherokee to never have anyone to talk to spending so many evenings home alone wondering if there was some other 1/32nd Cherokee out there perhaps looking at the same star I was.
Soon however the preponderance of the evidence suggested she wasnt even 1/32nd Cherokee. The census records for 1860 list the allegedly Cherokee great-great-great-grandmother O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford as white. Also Warrens family isnt listed in the Cherokee registry. (Unlike Democrat voter rolls to be on the Cherokee list proof is required.)
On the other hand we have what her son scribbled on his marriage license -- something by the way that none of his siblings claimed about their mother.
So now were down to Warrens reminiscence that her great-aunt used to point to a portrait of her great-great-grandfather and call him an Indian noting his high cheekbones.
Family lore is not proof. Proof is contemporary documentation produced under penalty of perjury such as a census record. My mother told me she found me under a rock but I dont put that on job applications.
The universities that employed Warren rushed to claim that her fake Indian ancestry had nothing to do with it. They speak with forked tongue causing heap-um laughter. (Harvard was so desperate for diversity it made a half-black dilettante president of the Harvard Law Review!)
To grasp what a sin against political correctness this is consider the Jesuitical debates about blackness regularly engaged in at our universities. About the time Lies on Race Box was getting a job with Harvard as a fake Indian -- valued for her fake hunting and tracking skills -- a debate broke out at Northwestern University law school about whether a potential faculty hire was black enough.
One professor wrote a heated three-page letter to the hiring committee complaining that the recruit should not be considered a black candidate explaining (n)ot all with dark skins are black nor should they be considered black in the U.S. context. (Flash to: My exact position on Obama.)
Warren has defended herself claiming she did it only so she would be invited to powwows or what the great white father calls meetings saying she hoped I would be invited to a luncheon a group something that might happen with people who are like I am.
What on earth does people who are like I am mean? Lets invite Elizabeth because shes 1/32nd Cherokee. We really need the 1/32nd Cherokee perspective around here. Maybe she has some old recipes that are 1/32nd Cherokee!
Then the Warren campaign claimed it was sexist to question Warren about her bald-faced lie: Once again the qualifications and ability of a woman are being called into question by Scott Brown ... Its outrageous.
First Scott Brown has barely mentioned Warrens stinking lie.
But second the only people who consider it a qualification to be 1/32nd Cherokee are university hiring committees. Possible Warren campaign speech:
I am a dotriacontaroon American. I want to be a voice for those who are 1/32nd Cherokee but also 1/32nd Pequot 1/32nd Mohawk -- basically the senator for all dotriacontaroons. Isnt it time we had a senator who was 1/32nd Cherokee?
Now its beginning to look like her ancestors not only did not suffer but caused the suffering shes getting the benefit of. The great-great-great-grandfather married to the not-Cherokee O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford turns out to have been one of the white enforcers on the brutal Trail of Tears helping round up Indians from their homes in order to march them to a less desirable part of the country.
Whats next?
Yes and my other grandfather Theophilus Connor ...
BULL CONNOR?
Yes but I swear James Earl Ray is not a BLOOD uncle. Were related only by marriage. At least thats what my cousin John Wayne Gacy used to always tell me.
Warrens lie is outrageous enough to someone like me who isnt a fan of race-based affirmative action programs. Still she is a liar and she stole the credit of someone elses suffering.
For liberals it should be a mortal sin: Elizabeth Warren cheated on affirmative action.
