Uh we're hung up on blood, because Warren took a blood test to "prove" her claim. And the 1/1024 is the likely hood of her blood and that's for Hispanic blood, not even native American blood.....it's hilarious
Stop lying. The test showed she has Native American blood in her heritage.
Like I always say, if conservatives didn’t lie, they’d have nothing at all to post.
No it didn't...it showed she had a small amount of Mexican or Columbian heritage.......you guys really don't worry about facts do you?
Show us this.

Warren did get tested and
the results did find Native American ancestry. We asked four experts to review her report and they all found it credible.
"the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor in the individual’s pedigree, likely in the range of 6-10 generations ago."
In years, that would be anytime from 150 to 250 years ago, perhaps as far back as 1700.
We asked several top biological anthropologists to assess Bustamante’s methods. They all said they are sound.
"I have read the DNA test report closely, and think that the analysis described therein was conducted properly," said Theodore Schurr at the University of Pennsylvania.
"These are among the most robust methods today," said Deborah Bolnick at the University of Connecticut and past president of the American Association of Anthropological Genetics.
Bustamante found five DNA segments that he could say with 99 percent certainty were of Native American origin.
"Native Americans arose as a distinct population in Siberia some 17,000 to 23,000 years ago and then spread into the Americas around 16,000 years ago," Schurr said. "Indigenous populations share a common genomic make-up."
After six to 10 generations, that DNA would be very dilute, which was consistent with Bustamante’s finding that 95 percent of Warren’s DNA was European.
Researchers told us the test results fit with Warren’s account of her Native American ties. Warren has said that she was told her great-great-great-grandmother was Cherokee.
That doesn’t mean the woman was pure Cherokee. Counting back the generations, that woman would have been born roughly in the middle of the 1800s.
"There are not genetic markers that are specific to tribal nations," Bolnick said. "The genetic patterns don’t map on to tribal groups that we recognize today."
According to Schurr, the most that can safely be said is that Warren’s test results "may reflect a genetic contribution from a tribe living in what is now the United States."
The DNA test can’t prove every part of Warren’s family story, but the researchers we reached said it is consistent with her account.
