It looks like Warren feels confident in her white heritage now, considering up until a couple of years ago she had been claiming she was Native American. Warren told minorities, during a Nevada campaign event, that since she has white privilege, so she has never been a victim of the police. Warren apparently was only subject to the benefits of identifying as a minority when she was younger.
“I get it. I am not a woman of color. I never got thrown across the hood. I have the privilege of never having been slammed into the wall by a police officer. But I tell you this: I listen to people who have,” she claimed. “I listen and I say, when I am the president of the United States, that is not going to happen here.”

“There are so many things wrong with that statement. But we’ll focus on the most anti-police aspect, which is, of course, the obvious racial undertone.
Her statements are reckless and irresponsible and aim to perpetuate the animosity between police and the communities they serve.”
“Try as she might by smearing the good names of police everywhere, her racist and anti-police comments didn’t help her at the polls. She earned only 9.7% of the votes, according to the Washington Post, which put her in fourth place and got her zero delegate votes.
Interestingly, six women of color left her campaign between November and the beginning of February. Their reasoning? They were clearly meant to be more “colorful” decoration than actual valued members of Warren’s team.”
I wonder if Warren “pretended” to be white when she was pulled over by the police? It would be like she was lying to get by while unknowingly telling the truth. Warren claimed she was a woman of color for the majority of her life, had Trump not called her out for it, she would still be identifying as a minority. This is such a ridiculous claim on Warren’s part.
I guess she never “got thrown across the hood “ because of her claims of being an American Indian. That was BEFORE the disastrous DNA test. I guess!
Maybe she didn’t get thrown across a hood is she didn’t commit any crimes.
f**k you Warren for belittling our police…you are a disgrace…YOU WILL NOT EVER BE PRESIDENT
Have sympathy for the democrats. They either lose with another woman, though a woman of color, or lose with a socialist that happens to be an old white, but a mere millionaire. Lyawathia would be less satisfying than the old fashioned socialist.
I too have never been thrown across a hood or shot or beaten by the police. I thank God for my white pri… oh wait I’ve never done anything to warrant that—maybe that’s why.
Bu, bu, bu, but she is a feathered indian. 1/1024th.
You know Sacajewa, your getting sickening with all these different nationalities. Are you Indian, Black, Chinese or Martian? You challenged Sanders on his health report, you challenged Tom Steyer on his finances. Why don’t you ask the Heart Attack kid? You were asked if she as President would shut down the border with the existing heath scare. You never answered.
Lobo none of those just mostly ass hole.
That’s odd.
I’m a LAW ABIDING CITIZEN and have never been “thrown across the hood. I have the privilege of never having been slammed into the wall by a police officer. But I tell you this: I listen to people who have,”
Mostly I credit my “GOOD FORTUNE’ to OBEYING THE LAWS”.
Odd how that works out for my benefit.
I figure it was her feathered headdress and her tomahawk that protected her.
Fauxcahontas Claims Her White Privilege Protected Her From The Police….But Native American Indians aren’t White???
Lyawathia claims paleface privilege?
I worked in a felony criminal court for thirty years. I can honestly say I can’t remember an instance when the police let off a murderer, a robber, a rapist or any other criminal because of white privilege. I don’t know what law they practiced on Pocahontas’ reservation, but I doubt the color of her skin had anything to do with meting out justice.
