MSNBC Analyst Defends Warren, Suggests Cherokee Nation is Racist

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.
quote:
I also think that the Cherokee Nation’s response was problematic because it actually ignores the fact that DNA testing historically has been used to exclude black natives from tribal affiliation. And so, that history has been completely lost in this entire conversation, and that’s potentially very unfortunate.

A black woman playing the race card against an Indian in favor of a white woman. It’s like progressive race inception.

Impressive mental gymnastics. Gold medal winner.

The liberal media can attack Native Americans because they are the most marginalized minority group in America - and therefore, have ZERO political power or capitol.
There's not a single Democrat that has to pander to Native Americans. They don't got the votes!
Minorities are only oppressed if they have a huge demographic and are powerful in Washington.

We now affectionately refer to it as MSNPC.

Are we approaching full circle in identity politics?

“ Problematic “. That favorite Leftist weasel word. So sick of “ problematic “.

quote:Well I question whether this is true, but it does make some of their criticisms about dna testing itself a little hypocritical, although they were right to criticize the ridiculousness of Warren’s use of it as well.
the fact that DNA testing historically has been used to exclude black natives from tribal affiliation.
Of course the testing’s estimate of 1/256 should be enough in its own to highlight that.

Trump has gotten these people so mixed up and twisted around, and they’re taking each other out with friendly fire. White politician tries to prove she’s not white and fails miserably, the Indians criticize her only to get attacked in turn by a black lady who claims the Indians are racist for calling out the white lady for appropriating their culture. Fun times.

The Cherokee call them Lumbee. At least in NC they do.

Even if this is true, what’s her point? This merely shows that the Cherokee Nation is consistent. Imagine that, the Cherokees don’t let someone simply “identify” as Cherokee.

Stupid as it sounds, some tribes extended membership to blacks back before that membership meant a cut of casino profits.
Still doesn’t make the term “black native” any less of an oxymoron.
