"Elizabeth Warren can’t provide that documentation. In defending her claim, she says only,
“This is what my brothers and I were told by my mom and my dad, my
mammaw and my pappaw.” Many people’s mammaws and pappaws have told them
the same thing. The interesting thing is not why Warren’s clung to her
family lore for so long, it’s why so many white people in America claim
Cherokee heritage to begin with. The answer is paradoxical: it’s a way of communicating authentic white Southern identity.
No, you are not part Cherokee. And neither is Elizabeth Warren.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
