Elizabeth Warren: comprehensive gun control bill

I have more Indian in me than her and I've never claimed to be an Indian, minority or a person of color.

I just did an ancestry dna test and I am 5% Native American. My daughter did one too and she is 20%! My wife’s isn’t done yet, but I suspect that’s where the Native comes from. So I’m 50 times more Native than Lieawatha. The other thing is that the tests can’t really narrow down between South American and North American. Since my maternal grandmother was Mexican and my wife is Mexican American, I’m pretty sure the kids ain’t Cherokee .

Now I want to know where my darn casino franchise money from WinStar is...and where my reparations for the “trail of tears” are!

And to think I might have gone to Harvard for my MBA instead of SMU...I just checked the wrong box. Where do I go to get my “white privilege” that I’ve been hearing about.

Took the DNA test. Found out I was 50% oppressor Red Coat. All this time I thought I was mainly Irish like Beto and Obama.

If you submit DNA to different labs will the results be the same or will there vast differences?

If there are differences found, how would you know which is accurate or not?

I'm going to do that. Waiting for Black Monday for deals on 23 and Me. I'll let you know.

I understand that brothers and sisters can have different percentage make up due to the gene lottery when your conceived.

Bawahahahaha

That made me laugh out loud for the first time in several days.

On Ancestry, the results change as they collect more samples and are able to more accurately identify regional subgroups. That was actually the criticism of Fauxcahontas test. They really didn't have Native North American tribal control samples.

Just be careful giving your sample. If you were a serial killer 30 years ago and stopped you can get nailed.

My great grand mother was half indian. Her mom was full blooded and her dad was an Irishman. My results showed no native American. Made me wonder what the deal was but now that I know there are no real samples of actual American indians it explained it some.

You have far more faith in the government than I do, my friend.

I'm picturing a no knock warrant being issued because someone's DNA was found on a fork at a restaurant near a murder scene. Technology allows this now. So our only protection will be in hoping that our government (including the judiciary) can be trusted to never let that happen. Personally, I don't have that level of trust in any branches of our government. That's why I will never voluntarily register my DNA in any type of database.

[Sarcasm] Democratic platform: What this country needs is . . . more people on government assistance. Then the government can control the population [\Sarcasm]

Yes. Teach a man to fish, you help him along the path to self sufficiency. Give a man a fish, you encourage him to depend on you, thereby enhancing your own power and prestige.

I hear you. I was referring to them catching the Golden State Killer through DNA submitted to one of these services.

Unfortunately, it never occurred to me that the government has access to these results when I did the test. My family always spoke of our "Native American" connection so I was curious if there was anything to it. My test showed slightly more than Poko Haunted but less than the average American...LOL.
