Williams College Speaker Martha Jones Defended Elizabeth Warren's Pocahontas Status

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - It looks like the left-wing indoctrination of William College students continues unabated. Next up? A visit from Martha S. Jones. According to the Williams website, Martha Jones is Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor and Professor of History at The Johns Hopkins University. She is a legal and cultural historian whose work examines how black Americans have shaped the story of American democracy. She will be on campus to speak on Thursday, September 12, 2019 from 4:15 pm - 5:30 pm.


I did a little research an found that Martha was one of the folks defending the absurd notion that it was okay for places like Harvard to treat the obviously blond, white Elizabeth Warren as if she were a native American. You can catch up on this insanity by reading the article connected this link.

Why calling Elizabeth Warren ‘Pocahontas’ is a slur against all mixed-race Americans

At the time of the article, Jones apparently thought Warren was legitimately 1/32 Indian. Warren's later blood test demonstrated she essentially had less Indian genes than her fellow native born Americans. Those of us who are angered that Warren leveraged her phony Indian story to obtain high paying academic jobs are perhaps out of line. She writes:
Other alarmists ask, if we permit people to be mixed-race, don’t we open the door to fraud and abuse? Mixed-race people, they warn, will use their complex heritage to material advantage — claiming to be black, white or Indian depending upon the benefits attached to such categories.
The bottom line is that when you advantage privileged minority groups against everyone else, there will always be people like Warren who abuse this system for selfish ends. When she arrives on campus, it might be helpful for conservative students to ask if they should give up employment opportunities for anyone who claims to be 1/32 black?
