By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff | Posted Nov 12, 2013
(Newser) A neo-Nazi who wants to found an all-white enclave in North Dakota has been shown evidence of racial diversity where he least expected it: in his own DNA. Craig Cobb agreed to the test as part of the Trisha Goddard Show's "Race in America" series, but he rejected the result as "short science" and "statistical noise" when it revealed he is 14% sub-Saharan African and 86% European, the Daily Mail reports. "Sweetheart, you have a little black in you," the show's British host told Cobb, who recoiled when she attempted to fist-bump him.

One Drop of Black blood makes you black. Well turns out he has 14 drops. So He is no longer allowed in his own all white conclave ha ha

(1,448 posts)"black" content is 14% or less, thanks to Craig Cobb, who lowered the entrance bar.

(155 posts)I had a DNA test on Ancestry.com and they gave me the names of some people who may have been related. I clicked on one name who might have been a 4th cousin and her racial background was 87% African. My ethnic background is 97% European and 3% unknown. Now I know my great-grandparents on my father's side came from the West Indies, so all I can say is that some of my ancestors must been "playing around".
