   Sorry, but I'm a Cherokee woman and I'll not lay off of calling Warren out for her ethnic fraud. If she truly believed she was Cherokee, she'd have never stopped claiming it, but she did as soon as she got tenure at Harvard. She only started again in 2012 when she got caught. https://t.co/8tYjWeotFc

    It's been quite fascinating to see how many southern white American racists have become commentators and experts on the British royal family since Meghan joined.

    That fact alone should be telling us everything we need to know….#MeghanMarkle #RoyalFamily

    Truth

    I don’t view America’s biggest cleveages on class lines. In fact I love to see Black people make money, it warms my heart to see them do so well in a society designed to oppress them from the beginning. I think a lot of Black people feel the same way. Why would I hate them? https://t.co/oMqzcf1uDt

      Lies, lies, and more lies. If Meghan and Harry really felt properly ”welcomed” into the family, they never would have thought about leaving the royal household in the first place. Members of the royal family and U.K. citizens must re-think the way they feel about non-Caucasians. This has been a problem there for centuries, beginning with Britain’s intrusion into, and takeover, of countries/areas in Africa and in Asia. Elizabeth II and the rest of them are living in an alternate reality. I applaud Harry for his dedication to his wife and son. It appears their happiness is very important to him, and that’s a very good thing.

    Look at Bloomberg. He literally bought his way in. The benevolent oligarch, perhaps not so benevolent.

    One challenge is that a lot of the polls released since the debate happen to have strong house effects. Once you account for those, the picture gets a little clearer. Still, there's not a clear story yet and we could use more data. pic.twitter.com/2Uzn0yTXDc

    When she “represented” my district she was so contemptuous of her constituents, refusing to meet with them. She’s very rude. She wants a BIG JOB at the Pentagon and is betting on Trump.

    If @MaraGay looked at me like that while I was talking, and I noticed, I think I would stop, mid-sentence if necessary, quickly examine my whole life up until that point, and start apologizing and confessing to things until I figured out what I said wrong. :)
