At least one Warren knows how to fess up

Professor Elizabeth Warren, the cigar-store Indian from Oklahoma, could learn a thing or two from namesake Jeffrey (no relation) Warren, a 17-year-old high school student from Riverside, Calif.

He is the young man who made the news recently when he won a $1,000 college scholarship for black students sponsored by Riverside's Martin Luther King Senior Citizens Club. Jeffrey Warren is white.

Since the scholarship application did not rule out non-black applicants, Jeffrey Warren applied, as he did for other scholarships and, after a telephone interview, he won the prize. It was only at graduation ceremonies when he walked onto the stage at the King High School graduation ceremonies to accept the award that people, to their surprise, realized he was white and not black.

The telephone interviewer should have asked him something in Ebonics.

The telephone interviewer should have asked him something in Ebonics.

Actually, all the interviewer had to say was "please use the word ay es kay in a sentence".

Are there any scholarships available that list being a Whitey McCracker-Honkey as one of the conditions of winning it?

Now imagine if the roles were reversed. The Left would go nuts, demand an investigation, and go into shakedown mode.

It’s time to end race-based awards, scholarships, job and student placements and anything else along those lines.

It’s interesting to note that Liberals like the commenter at the Lowell Sun article, ‘lowell woman’, are so passionate to get back to “the issues” when they are so willing to assassinate the character of people like Ann Romney.

The content of one’s character can be very relevant in an election. Look where we are now after the American public has ignored it.

I didn't know that O'bama had claimed Cherokee roots, too.

"If asked," Obama wrote, "Toot would turn her head in profile to show off her beaked nose, which, along with a pair of jet-black eyes, was offered as proof of Cherokee blood."

He's got the same evidence.

I wonder what questions were asked in the telephone interview, this kid must have been pretty smart.

Should’a’ asked him about his birfday.

Should’a’ asked him about his birfday.

Funny you mention "birfday" - Shaq did a commercial for Denny's years and years ago and he had a line about the "big breakfast" - he pronounced it "bref-fes" and no one blinked an eye.

But they gave him the scholarship anyway."

Mighty white of them.
