Liz Warren has a family history that has some roots in being a Native American
This is a link to a 2012 story about Senator Warren that explains much of what is behind her understanding about her heritage. After reading this 5 year old article in the Boston Globe, anyone with a brain will understand that Warren has a recollection of what was told to her by her parents and other relatives. Remember, people were reluctant during that time to associate as Native American. It was no badge of honor. But, obviously, her siblings remember the same stories. A person would have to be an asshole to ridicule anyone who had those memories. And, the story documents, that Sen. Warren never got placement or advancement for her heritage. Oh, and by the way, our Moron in Chief is an asshole.
<snip>David Herring of Norman, Okla., one of Warren’s three brothers, said in an interview that even when he was a child his relatives were reluctant to talk about the family’s Native American heritage because “it was not popular in my family.” Only when he begged his grandparents, said Herring, did they finally explain to him: “Your grandfather is part Delaware, a little bitty bit, way back, and your grandmother is part Cherokee. It was not the most popular thing to do in Oklahoma. [Indians] were degraded, looked down on.”
Warren’s brothers, Don, John, and David Herring, also issued a joint statement supporting their sister. “The people attacking Betsy and our family don’t know much about either. We grew up listening to our mother and grandmother and other relatives talk about our family’s Cherokee and Delaware heritage. They’ve passed away now, but they’d be angry if they were around today listening to all this.”<snip>
