- Clearly not white mother of a mixed race child

I am as white as you can imagine, with blue eyes and natural blond hair. It wasn't just some guy at the store. It was a lot of guys and gals in many stores in several places across this country rude to me for no good reason. My boyfriend's parents discouraged him from dating me. And I was denied a job many many time (my field is highly saturated). Are telling me that this reality will stop for people of other races but will continue for whites?

She sounds so pathetic.

Warren filled out the card by hand in neat blue ink and signed it. Dated April 1986, it is the first document to surface showing Warren making the claim in her own handwriting. Her office didn’t dispute its authenticity.

Agreed.

She's an accomplished lecturer.

She's a joke! And a liar.

Ironically, her speech reminded of Trump, with all of the cynical populism.

She just formally announced her candidacy. She is coming across as angry and relying totally on identity politics.

+1 yep!

-1 nope.

You didn’t notice that the reporter who did the deep dive in the Boston Globe is the SAME reporter who dug her Texas bar registration card up for the Washington Post.

So instead of doing the Globe's bidding, she's doing Bezos's bidding. Bezos doesn't want Warren and her wealth grabbing near the White House. He wants someone in his pocket, like Harris or Booker.

Yikes.
