question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Warren ? Senator Elizabeth Warren (Yuri Gripas/Reuters)
Donald Trumpâs taunts may turn out to be the least of  Elizabeth Warrenâs  problems if  her  refusal to apologize for  her  false claims of native American heritage angers the Left.
Since the issue was first raised during  her  2012 Senate election campaign   Senator Elizabeth Warren  has acted as if questions about  her  past claims of Native American ancestry were simply racist.  Her  assumption was that the more President Donald Trump called  her  âPocahontas â the better it was for  her   since his insults are a badge of honor on the left. But as  she  prepares for what looks like a run at the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination  it turns out the man in the White House is not the only one who thinks thereâs something fishy about  Warren âs attempt to brush off criticism of  her  fibs.
The fact that  Warren  has been involving  herself  in Native American issues and spoke to the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) earlier this month is a tipoff that  she  is thinking about more than what will be a cakewalk to reelection in Massachusetts this fall. The Native American controversy is a potential liability  and not just because Republicans will never let  her  forget about it. In what is likely to be a brutally competitive 2020 Democratic race with a large field of candidates  for the first time   she  can expect some fellow Democrats to chime in about  her  past claims.
That ought to provide plenty of motivation for  Warren  to dispose of the issue  by apologizing for what  she  can call a misunderstanding based on what turned out to be a family myth. Simply saying youâre sorry and leaving it at that goes a long way toward silencing critics in any crisis. But it appears that  Warren  isnât choosing that path. Instead of putting the controversy to rest   Warren  has chosen to embrace it.
If it was only Trump calling  her  âFauxcahontas â  Warren  would probably have let the issue rest and relied on the willingness of the media and other liberals to label the president and anyone else lobbing the epithet at  her  as racists. But once  Warren  heard The Daily Showâs Trevor Noah mock  her  false claims of Cherokee ancestry   she  likely realized that Republicans werenât the only ones ready to finally hold  her  accountable for  her  decades-long pose as a minority. A similarly critical piece about the issue by a Cherokee activist  published on the left-wing ThinkProgress website  also made it clear that the cover  she âs received from fellow liberals on this point is vanishing. More important   she âll likely be facing off against actual minority candidates  such as Kamala Harris and Cory Booker  in 2020  at which point the authenticity of  her  background will again become an issue.
 Her  solution was to give a series of interviews and speeches in which  she  admits that  her  past assertions cannot be backed up by the record  but continues to insist that  she  did no wrong  asserting that the notion of  her  Cherokee identity is a long-cherished part of  her  family lore that was handed down to  her . When  she  told the Boston Globe  âI know who I am â it came across as defiant.
The falseness of Warrenâs claims about  her  heritage seems clear by now. Though  Warren  keeps saying that  she  was told  her  motherâs family was part Cherokee and Delaware  there is no proof that this is true. Both genealogists and historians have examined the birth  marriage  and death records of  her  family and found no trace of either tribe. The tribal rolls also show no one in  her  family as having been a registered Cherokee or Delaware. Thatâs a point on which Native American activists have been assertive with respect to other whites seeking to gain either a fake minority status or access to some of the privileges or income available to tribal members in an era when casinos have become a lifeline for their communities.
While  Warren âs puzzling choice to try and have it both ways can be attributed to poor judgment  it also demonstrates the fatal appeal of identity politics on the left.
Faced with these inconvenient facts   Warren  appears to think a strategy in which  she  can be anointed as a sort of honorary Native American might serve to undermine any criticism. In  her  speech to the NCAI   Warren  admitted that  âYou wonât find my family members on any rolls  and Iâm not enrolled in a tribe. And I want to make something clear: I respect that distinction  I understand that tribal membership is determined by tribes  and only by tribes.â
Yet rather than leave it at that   Warren  didnât apologize for past claims of identity and then asserted that  she  had never used those claims to get ahead in  her  career  even though that is disputed.  She  also went on to say that whenever  she  is attacked for  her  past fibs in the future   she  would âuse it to lift up the story of your families and communities.â And indeed   she  has lately signed up to co-sponsor some bills of interest to Native Americans that were promulgated by other senators.
But at the same time   she  hasnât apologized for listing  herself  as a Native American during the course of  her  career as a law professor  which may have given  her  a leg up in the fierce competition for coveted spots on the Harvard Law School faculty. Nor has  she  stopped sticking to  her  unsubstantiated story about  her  fatherâs family opposing  her  parentsâ marriage because of  her  motherâs tribal ties;  she  even retold it during  her  speech to the NCAI.
While  Warren âs puzzling choice to try and have it both ways can be attributed to poor judgment  it also demonstrates the fatal appeal of identity politics on the left. In a political culture that prizes any link to victimization   Warren  still canât resist holding onto  her  past claims  even though a simple apology would seem the smarter move.
 Warren âs supporters point to the fact that Scott Brown   her  2012 Senate opponent  didnât seem to profit from his campaignâs emphasis on the âfake Indianâ issue. But once  she âs competing for liberal votes in Democratic primaries  rather than counting  as  she  did then  on  her  party uniting behind  her  no matter what the opposition says  it will be a very different story.  She âll likely discover that the game  she âs playing is a lot more dangerous on the national stage than it was in Massachusetts.

Neutral


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kamila Shamsie ? Kamila Shamsie  didnât have to stretch to fit the plot to the times when  she  decided to adapt the Greek tragedy Antigone into a contemporary novel about terrorism.
The gripping novel explores how western responses to terrorism show the limits of our ideals and laws. In an interview over Skype   Shamsie  told me  her  initial imperative with the novel was to explore the question of citizenship  to delve into what it means to begin stripping people of citizenship for certain crimes.
âRepeatedly people in [Theresa Mayâs] government have said  âcitizenship is a privilege not a right ââ  Shamsie  said. âAnd thatâs simply legally untrue  but increasingly they want to be able to take away citizenship for people who they think are unworthy. And they get to decide.â
 She  added: âItâs your own citizens and youâre saying that for all that we have our judicial system and prison system and probation and all of that  this is the one crime that we donât know how to deal with  so weâre just going to leave you out of the country. It should be seen as a real failing of a state  to say that our judicial system is incapable of knowing how to respond to this criminal act.â
And  as in the United States  the notion of terror is racialized and associated with Muslims (President Trump entertaining the idea of sending Sayfullo Saipov  the man who killed eight people when he drove a truck down a bike path in Manhattan on Halloween  to GuantÃ¡namo  is at this point to be expected.) While stripping citizenship might initially be justified only in terrorism cases   Shamsie  noted Theresa Mayâs attempts to revoke the passports of a group of British-Pakistani men convicted of sex crimes â âthereâs no way of saying itâs not about Islamophobia and racism  because no one is making those suggestions about anyone who is white and committing similar crimes.â
In the narratives that she read of radicalization  of youth attempting to join ISIS   Shamsie  saw only demonization and one-dimensional narratives: â It âs almost an inevitability now. If youâre young  Muslim and male  and angry  then youâre going to strap a bomb onto yourself.â But she dug into research on ISIS propaganda and youth who were convinced by it  and found that the reality  for many teenage would-be fighters  was complex.
âOne of the things I was interested in was the lure being something other than violence  and all the other ways that this world that we know to be nihilistic and brutal could also be seductive â  Shamsie  said.
âThere is this link between masculinity and violence that should be inescapable  it should be part of every conversation on violence â said  Shamsie . âInstead we compartmentalize violence: Thereâs the violence of gun shooters in America  thereâs the violence of suicide bombers in Iraq  thereâs domestic violence everywhere  there are men in Pakistan who are committing honor killings â and we donât draw the line between all of them and say what is it with men  what is it with masculinity  what is it that young men do to prove to themselves or to someone else that they are a man in the right kind of way?â
All of these complexities are missing from most media narratives of radicalization  and so also is the possibility of empathy   Shamsie  believes. In  her  research   she  found little compassion for the families whose children had gone to Syria  âfamilies facing the most horrendous thing â your child or your sibling who is very young or very stupid or angry â has gone to a place from where you know they will probably never return. And these families are treated as though they are guilty  rather than as if they are mourning.â
The novel gave  Shamsie  the space to create that empathy.

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lady Diana Spencer ? The dress was  Lady Diana Spencer thought  so grown-up  just right for her first official engagement after the announcement she was to marry Prince Charles.
 "She just looked fantastic. At that time  she was curvy. Not fat in any way  but she had cleavage -- we love cleavage. And she looked great in this dress " Emanuel said in an interview Friday. "We in no way expected there to be such a reaction. And I think from that moment on  Diana became a fashion icon."
 The dress had been missing for years until David Emanuel recently discovered it in a plastic bag at his home. Along with other garments worn by Diana and designed by the Emanuels  it is to be auctioned off June 8 in a sale that includes the silk chiffon blouse chosen for the Princess of Wales' official engagement portrait by Lord Snowdon  and the calico prototype used to fit her famous ivory wedding gown.
 For the editors of Britain's voracious press  the dress -- and the snaps of Diana in it -- would kick off a long love affair with the princess.
 "Up until that point  they'd seen her as a floppy-haired puppy " said Christopher Wilson  a seasoned observer who has written extensively on the royals. "And that's the moment Fleet Street fell in love with her.
 Taylor and Elizabeth Emanuel are hopeful the collection will go to a museum -- the black dress is expected to fetch between 30 000 and 50 000 pounds ($44 000 to $73 000) and the prototype of the wedding dress between 8 000 and 12 000 pounds ($12 000 to $17 000) -- but understand that Diana's legacy means there's a strong chance a private collector may snap up the garments.

 Despite the reaction to her ballgown  Diana liked it enough to ask the Emanuels to take it in when it became too large for her  as she was constantly losing weight. In the months leading up to her wedding  Diana's waist dropped from 26 to 24 inches  and the Emanuels decided it would be easier to just make her a new  smaller version of the dress. Elizabeth Emanuel said she doesn't know what happened to the second version.
 The collection up for sale includes sketches  notes  invoices -- one shows Diana's mother paid 1 000 guineas for the wedding party's dresses  which was the equivalent of 1 050 pounds -- and even the handbag that Elizabeth Emanuel carried to the wedding at St. Paul's Cathedral on July 29  1981. It still has the smelling salts the designer brought along in case her famous client felt faint. (She didn't  Emanuel said  describing Diana as the epitome of calm.)

 "Diana was just fantastic. From the moment we first met her  she was just like a regular client. She was lovely  down-to-earth  very sweet  very calm  very friendly. She made a point of meeting everybody in the work room and she was just so easy to get on with " Emanuel said. "We had so much fun."
