your grade for that atrociously inept repy, which failed to addresses the questions posed, is F
The entire idiocy of all exchanges on this issue is that there are few things so easily attacked and so awkwardly defended.Am I to understand that no Cherokee families were resettled in Oklahoma?
I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.. There are many Americans who have some indian ancestry.. which doesn't qualify them for "Affirmative Action".. but there is no cause to deny their heritage.
When did you research her ancestry?
You're the forum assessor, grader and critiquer? An affirmative action appointee, no doubt. Claiming endangered species status by the looks of your avator. An "F" from a beneficiary of "positive discrimination" policies? Priceless.

No. Germans have high cheekbones too...is that racist? It's true Cherokee have high cheekbones. Sioux Indians have distinct facial features as well (beautiful bone structure)and many Indians have no facial/body hair..is that racist?
Who is being derided on this thread? I am serious, but I suspect you might lack the grasp of the obvious. If you were serious about helping Dizzy Lizzie Warren, you would abandon this thread forthwith; but then I expect you might not have the cognitive powers.Thing is, this is awkwardly attacked in the first place. As I said, it's all weaksauce to the max... as evidenced by the fact that the attackers have resorted to name-calling and complete bull****ting just to hold onto such a ridiculous political offensive.

All Things Cherokee: Culture Articles - Andrew Jackson - The Worst President The Cherokee Ever Met
and when you fill out those personal information forms, the ones that ask for your ethnicity, i am certain that when you check 'white' you are able to prove with 100% accuracy that you are 100% white. [/s] but then, no one ever asks for such proof. the proof you now deem so essential
Like I said, the weakness of your argument is the weakness of your argument. But by all means, carry on.No other tribe was more homogenized by the anglo culture... so much so that Cherokee were farmers by and large and had adopted the practice of having black slaves too. They did everything that was told they had to do to assimilate but what it boiled down to was that gold and other rare minerals were found in the lower Appalachia so they had to go.

I realise I'm late to the game on this thread, and don't wish to get in the middle of a fight, however, the Cherokee themselves are pissed at Warren for her baseless claim and have announced she does not belong to them. She initially made the assertion to gain benefit, advantage, in the her university application and subsequent academic, then political career. It was a false claim.
When did she know? Doesn't matter, it's her behavior now that is sinking her. She knows she's not, so she should admit her error promptly and take her medicine. But she isn't doing that, she's falling back on lame excuses, delay and my favorite, "I feel Cherokee".

You're joking, right?I have this feeling that you almost broke your brain trying to fit the word "cognitive" into your sentence.
Let's start over to see how strong your argument is... What's your beef with Elizabeth Warren? Or would you prefer to continue with the childish name calling as the basis of your point?

Meathead said:so easily attacked and so awkwardly defended
Ye.. that's right.. and A Jackson was the only president who defied the US Supreme Court which ruled they were a sovereign nation.. He told the court to keep them there if they could and he told Georgians to light a fire under them and they will leave.
And ... the Cherokee had helped him win the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
Its not a proud moment in American history..
Yep... here's the supposed famous quote Andrew Jackson said of the Supreme Court ruling that said the Cherokee could stay.
"John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"
All this after Jackson allied with the Cherokee on the battlefield to fight the Seminole. What a betrayer prick he was.
In his time he was a conqueror. He was a prick and a lot of other things but, in fair play as a leader in American History: there is little doubt about his stature.No question he was a prick..........

For those of you that disagree, a history of the US, or even the world might help.
4) Dismantling the central bank
We could use that part today.

Are you really that thick. I am not a great fan, but his performance, except for a dogmatic hacks is historically deemed great or near great. Btw, this seems like it's goning to be one of these inane threads where posters continue till kingdom cone.He's known for four things.
1) Killing indians
2) Fighting the battle of New Olreans against orders and after the war of 1812 had ended
3) Trail of tears
4) Dismantling the central bank
I'll bet that's a lot more A. Jackson history that you could pull off the top of your head.
