"The professor said she is a Native American, a
person of color, and you can see she's not," Scott Brown
said
When I heard Senator Brown utter those words during the
first debate with Elizabeth Warren, I at first thought…
“NO, HE DIDN’T SAY THAT DID HE?”… Oh yes he
did and with a serious unflinching look upon his face. Bigotry
Gone Wild has happened to our country, once thought of as
something under wraps, within the fringe circles of the ignorant
is now, not only ubiquitously In Your Face but also has grown
legs of PROUD OF IT.
I have to repeat: A NATIVE AMERICAN, A PERSON OF COLOR,
AND YOU CAN SEE SHE’S NOT.” What was his point? Oh, I
see, he wanted to pin that tag on her to reveal how she used her
“person of color” identification as a voucher to make
things easier for herself.
A whopping big, SAY WHAT?
It’s obvious that his use of the term “Check
the Box as a Person of Color” indicates that people of color
get more perks than white people (which he is also accusing
Warren of being with his remark… “She Said She Is
Native American…You Can See She’s Not” in other
words... SHE'S WHITE!)
An even BIGGER, ‘SAY WHAT?’…

The first official debate between Massachusetts Republican Sen.
Scott Brown and his Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren began
Thursday with a discussion about Warren's Native American
heritage.
Brown devoted his opening remarks to accuse Warren, a Harvard Law
School professor who says she is part Cherokee Indian, of using
her background to give her an advantage when competing for jobs
throughout her career.
"The professor said she is a Native American, a person of
color, and you can see she's not," Brown said in the first
moments of the debate, echoing an attack line that has dogged
Warren throughout much of the race this year.
Warren, who appeared to be caught off guard, was forced to use
her opening remarks to respond, and she denied that she had taken
advantage of affirmative action programs when seeking jobs.
"I never used it," Warren said, adding later: "I
didn't get an advantage because of my background."
The debate moderator quickly moved the conversation to other
topics. The candidates went on to debate tax rates, abortion
(both candidates support protecting access), education and laws
that enforce "equal pay for equal work" for men and
women in the workplace.
The Massachusetts Senate race is considered one of the
highest-profile contests in the country. Brown, a moderate
Republican, won the seat two years ago in a special election
after Democrat Edward Kennedy, who had held the seat since 1962,
died in 2009. Warren, who helped start President Barack Obama's
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau before launching her bid for
the Senate, has a national following among liberals because of
her work on consumer issues.
The candidates will hold three more debates before Election Day.
