That Scott Brown crack Against Elizabeth Warren's Indian ancestry is still pissing me off

[MrScorpio]

I have Indian ancestry, Cherokee, as do many other Americans with that and other nations, if their families are traced back over several generations in this country.

The complete opposite of Brown's attitude, Indian nations were INCLUSIVE, which is why many of them include all the bloodlines that make up the American experience, brown, black and white faces abound, not just red... And it's not that cartoonish vision of red people that he most certainly has dancing in that pretty, but quite empty, head of his.

I'm sure that he's wondering where the Indian people went, since he most certainly hasn't seen anyone walking around in feathers and moccasins in any of his usual haunts.

Well, had he listened to Elizabeth Warren, instead of disrespected her, he would realize that we haven't gone anywhere...

We ARE America.

1. br0wn was attacking and lying and fear mongering. Warren was debating.

The difference was quite stark and revealing.

2. It is easier

for Native Americans to forgive the crimes and the oppression past and present than for people still not feeling in home to forgive themselves and become natives. And start behaving like people who respect and love their home...

3. The Wingnuts have been all over this for months.

The only surprise to me is how many people are shocked by these comments.

4. If I were an inquiring mind:

I might be wondering how he came by a descriptive name like "Brown."

5. "As you can see..." is what pissed me off.

Ignorant.

6. Brown came across as a real prick.

Take comfort in the fact that half of Massachusetts saw the same thing we did, and that will be reflected in the election results...

7. Huh? Okay, a day late and a dollar short...what did he say?

Thanks. Education needed please.

Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts put challenger Elizabeth Warren on the rack early during their debate Thursday night, assailing the Democrat for listing herself as "Native American" on law school documents early in her teaching career.

"Elizabeth Warren said she was a Native American, a person of color," Brown said, gesturing toward Warren. "As you can see, she's not."

It didn't sound any more acceptable that it came from a smarmy, condescending douchebag either.

10. Oh. My. God.

He needs to go down in this election for so many reasons. This is just another of many.

9. I stayed out of that mess

My son is a brown haired blue-eyed registered member of the Cowachin band in Vancouver BC. He's chosen to more or less ignore his heritage-- he's around half. But that doesn't give anyone the right to disrespect his ethnic background, if he reveals it.

I don't blame you for being pissed.

11. A little Cherokee here too

I don't look like it but its there.
He's a sorry sob in my eyes. He came out running his mouth about that from the get go. I hope she beats his ass and but good.

[MrScorpio]

12. Unlike myself, Warren probably can't pull out old newspaper articles…

To point to her proof of Indian heritage.

But as far as I'm concerned, if her parents told her that she has it, it's good enough for me.

[madokie]

13. Yup good enough for me too

14. This Cherokee gives it a kick.
