2. How she feels about having her "racial purity" questioned by conservative media.

I saw today on Fox, they were up in arms about a blond woman who identifies in part as Native American. Of course progressives know we are basically a nation of mutts - Obama half white and half black for instance, but identifying mostly as black, others of mixed race identifying this way or that way. But having these racial lines blurred in this way is apparently unacceptable to these conservatives, and they are speaking out against it by blasting Elizabeth for her affiliations with Native American traditions growing up. A WHITE woman? Listening to indian stories? Can you imagine??? Fox can't .

Ask her how she deals with being a post racial person in an America where way too many people still just can't get over race like she has.

Peace.
