A white supremacist best known for his efforts to establish a segregated enclave in North Dakota was shocked after being told that he has African ancestry during his appearance on British TV host Trisha Goddard's syndicated talk show.
Craig Cobb, an infamous neo-Nazi who is wanted in Canada for committing hate crimes, agreed to take a DNA test on the show as a part of Goddard's "Race in America" series. That's when he learned that his heritage consist of a makeup of European and Sub-Saharan African roots.
Goddard told him that he is "86 percent European," before adding that he is "14 percent sub-Saharan African." The 62-year-old, who claims to follow a religion that favors racial awareness, dismissed the data, calling it "statistical noise."
Nevertheless, Goddard, who is black told him, "You have a little black in you," before attempting to fist bump her "bro."
Cobb later told the Daily Mail that he agreed to the test "because I assumed it was science." However, after getting the results he said he realized it was a "scientifically bankrupt procedure" intended only to "shock."
When asked how would react if he took another DNA test and received the same results, Cobb said, "well if I did have any n----r we don't want any more of it."
Back in October, Cobb's effort to create a white-only enclave called "Cobbsville" in Leith, North Dakota, was stymied, reports The Independent. Leith city council members approved a number of new ordinances to prevent him from purchasing land.
