Hillary in Bosnia: lone gunman?

62. Since you didn't read any of the links, I will leave you to read them again.

I am not saying that her mother didn't tell her she was NA. That's not the point (that escaped you, I see). Her mother did say that, and her mother was not accurate. To be clear, since you are having trouble: I'm saying that her mother told her a story that isn't true.

Genealogists went through the records and all they found was white people. The one record--a supposed marriage license, referenced in a "family newsletter" that was said to have been issued before marriage licenses even existed in that area-- that the claim was hung upon turned out to be "folklore." There was no record of this document, and the Boston Globe (seriously, you are playing like you are unaware of all this? Mind-boggling that you know so little about the person you tout as a Presidential candidate--a Bay Stater who didn't even follow the larger details of this campaign?) retracted their story about that one "hearsay" record after a genealogical society's investigation revealed that the claim was not valid.

You might also want to look at the video again, where she says she was told this by her mother and didn't ask for proof about it.


She is not a Cherokee. She is not a Delaware. Ask those folks--they'll tell you.

She isn't listing herself as NA in the Senate rolls, either--which is appropriate. She did list herself as such in her academic assignments, but since this kerfluffle, she's not doing that anymore.

That's the bottom line.

And if you think she hasn't quietly done a DNA swab, I've got a bridge for sale. That would have been THE way to say "Ah HA---STFU!!!!"

She got suckered by a family story. It happens. Many people think they have an Indian--usually a chief, or someone famous and cool--in their background. Most times that turns out to be bullshit. Amusingly, as Skip Gates has pointed out, white people down the years have substituted "Indian" for "African" when they are coughing up an exotic family line, and people of African heritage substitute "Indian" for white ancestry--facts be damned.

You know, some people can think they are swirly, or even BE a bit swirly, but not be sufficiently so to qualify for preferential treatment, don't you? You do know that Harvard called her a minority for years, touted her in their diversity statistics, and Fordham referenced her as Harvard's "first woman of color" on their faculty? That's what lit this shit off. It's all outlined here:

And if you think the GOP are ever going to let it go, I'll show you my Kenyan birth certificate.

EW is earning her way in the Senate. She will be a formidable opponent to anyone trying to challenge her for reelection in 2018 because she is becoming a known quality to people within the state--that's because she doesn't stint on the constituent visits and she delivers in her job. But don't--for a second--think her last Senate campaign was easy; it was hellish, difficult, fraught with Scott Brown's smears and negativity, and some pundits thought she was going to lose.
