Another Scalp (Ahem): Ward Churchill Admits He's Not an American Indian (RETRACTED by the Honolulu Star Bulletin)

UPDATE/CORRECTION: It appears that the HSB is backing away from its original reportage that Ward Churchill clearly admitted he wasn't a native American Indian. They now say he was misquoted, and that the tape proves this.

Look, he's not an American Indian; at least no one has ever offered a shred of evidence that he is. But it does appear that the HSB's report of his admission of this was simply wrong.

Ergo, the rest of this piece has to be retracted.

Thanks to Chickpea.


Found on Lucianne.com, reported by the Honolulu Star Bulletin:

Churchill did address the issue of his ethnicity, admitting that he is not Native American.

"Is he an Indian? Do we really care?" he said, quoting those he called his "white Republican" critics.

"Let's cut to the chase; I am not," he said.

His pedigree is "not important," Churchill said: "The issue is the substance of what is said."

Without that admission-- that (ahem) scalp -- we'd still be arguing about this. We've gotten our first bit of scalp from Ward Churchill; we'll see about collecting up the rest of it.

He whines about his persecution:

"I was targeted because they thought I would be an easy target," Churchill told the crowd of about 800. "That was a mistake.

"It's not just an attempt to purge me," he said. "It's a purge of the academy."

But you are an easy target, Pale Face. And you'll soon be finding out how easy when we Blogging Braves are counting coup over your carcass. (Ummm, not a death-threat, dope. It's a refernce to the American Indian practice of counting coup over a defeated adversary, something I probably know more about than you. I've seen Dances with Wolves three times; I'd say that gives me a better claim to Native American heritage than you.)

Meanwhile, another Hawaiian paper is all up Ward Churchill's nose as well. What the heck is going on with Hawaiian reporters, anyway?

Whatever it is, keep it up.

Check out this quote from Churchill:

"The only thing I can do is to pursue a different slogan: U.S. out of America, U.S. off the planet, U.S. out of our lives, U.S. into the dustbin of history." -- Ward Churchill

Okay. The webpage contains an audio file of his whining self-defense.

H/t to LGF for the last item.

PS: Anyone starting to notice that the charges leveled by the right-leaning blogosphere have this odd habit of turning out to be... oh, what's the word...? ...100% f'n' correct, every time?

What's the Daily Kos' batting average, I wonder?

Update: Go here to find Ward Churchill -- admitted Pale-Face WASP -- whining that universities won't give out more tenured positions to "indigenous peoples."

"Indigenous peoples" -- you know, like Dick Cavett, Stone Philips, Anderson Cooper, etc. People indigenous to the Hamptons and Aspen, I guess.

Didn't this guy get his cushy and well-paid "professorship" solely on the politically-correct basis that he WAS of American Indian ancestry?

Then again, neither is Ward Churchill.

U.S. out of our lives? Would that include the U.S. tax dollars that fund this loon's lies?

Posted by: Sobek on February 23, 2005 05:32 PM

Well, if Churchill admits it, it is because Native American reporters uncovered his deception over a decade ago and wrote about it in AIM, Indian Country, and Tribal newsletters. It is because Ben Nighthorse Campbell, one of Churchill's long-time enemies, got a law passed that said no fake Indian or Chinese sweatshop could sell "authentic Indian art", and because Rocky Mountain News reporters and columnists like Paul Campos tied it into tenure and hiring fraud under Federal AA programs.

The Bloggers kept the heat up, but reported no dramatic news that wasn't out there already. Sites like pirateballerina.com posted the documents.
They get some credit.

Give most of the credit to Churchill. His ego and stupidity was the biggest factor, in his outing himself. It's like those fake Vietnam heroes that regularly have to resign from local groups or offices because they can't help wanting attention, laying on the BS, until they, a la Kerry, become "secret commandos on missions to give guns to Cambodians". It grows, and gets so outrageous and implausible that many of the fakes fall on their own sword.

I'm SO glad you didn't write, "Native American." Everyone born on these shores are, in fact, native Americans.

His pedigree is "not important," Churchill said: "The issue is the substance of what is said."

Wow, that's a real step up.

"I was targeted because they thought I would be an easy target," Churchill told the crowd of about 800. "That was a mistake.

Yeah, right. I know I'll be staying up all night with my .45 praying Rambo here doesn't bust down my door and turn me into paste.

Attacking America advances dialogue and is protected under the first amendment. In the halls of higher learning, plagerism, deciet, obfuscation, lies, these are all relative terms and must be considered in thier context. Naming a sandwich a fat dyke or fat filipino or discussing the possibility of genetic differences between the sexes, this speech will be squashed and characterized as hate speech.

Well I guess I can't talk since I'm schizophrenic, but I'm not!

Didn't one count coup on a LIVE enemy? That was the challenge - poking him with a stick or something relatively harmless meant that you had to be within striking distance of a dangerous adversary and were purposely putting yourself at a temporary disadvantage, thus displaying maniacal courage. Something like that.

Hey, I don't know, my antecedents were aboriginal Scots, not aboriginal Americans. The Scots had some pretty goofy customs too.

CALLING ALL BLOGGERS:

This guy is very vulnerable and the perfect target for the Right to boycott and show our power. We can take back the power of the boycott back from the Left! We can change the world! We can do this if we lean on them hard enough! This can be, as Winston Churchill, (a real Briton) said: "not the end of the beginning, but the beginning of the end."

Churchill
misquoted
in article on
UH speech
The Honolulu Star-Bulletin, incorrectly quoted University of Colorado
professor Ward Churchill as admitting that he was not American Indian.
The story about Churchill's Tuesday night speech at the University of
Hawaii-Manoa said the professor noted that his "white Republican"
critics were asking, "Is he an Indian? Do we really care?"

"Let's cut to the chase, I'm not," the quote in yesterday's paper continued.

But a review of video and audio tapes of the speech shows that
Churchill actually said: "Is he an Indian? We really care. We're
trying to protect the rights of Indians to divine for themselves, say
this circle of flies in the form of white reporters circling a manure
pile like it's of all consequential importance. Cut to the chase on
that."

Churchill went on to say that he is an associate member of the
Keetoowah tribe and that associates are enrolled in the band after
their genealogy has been vetted by the enrollment office. He said that
he is less than one-quarter Indian, so he does not qualify to be a
full member.

The issue of whether Churchill has Indian blood is part of the
national debate over the controversial professor who gained notoriety
for comparing some Sept. 11, 2001, victims to Nazis.

Even his "Chickens coming home to Roost" is not his! He copied the old line from Malcom X who said it about Kennedy's asassination, which got him kicked out of the Nation of Islam and ultimately led to him being assassinated by them. Perhaps God will repeat history....

It's not UC, it's CU. You only call if UC if you're attending the Denver campus in which case it is UCD. All people who attend the school or live in Colorado call it CU.
Churchill doesn't deserve this attention. No one should ever have even heard of that pseduo-intellectuals name.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
