Im confused.
The article doesn't do a very good job of proving its premise.
I see no facts to prove that Grandma is anything but complacent. Maybe she doesn't want to have anything to do with politics?
I call them as I see them and this article is garbage with an unproven premise as laughable as an equivalent left-wing hit job.
Show me at least a smidgeon of proof.

Unless it's near March 17th, then he hauls out the bones of his Irish great-great grandfather...
I you live in the USA you should know about the one drop rule in our country. The one-drop rule is an historical colloquial term in the United States that holds that a person with any trace of sub-Saharan ancestry (however small or invisible) cannot be considered white[1] and so unless the person has an alternative non-white ancestry that he or she can claim, such as Native American, Asian, Arab, Australian aboriginal, the person must be considered black.
This notion of invisible/intangible membership in a “racial” group has seldom been applied to people of Native American ancestry (see Race in the United States for details). The concept has been largely applied to those of black African ancestry.
