White supremacist Craig Cobb was stunned when his DNA test revealed he
had African origins on The Trisha Goddard Show

Cobb volunteered a DNA sample to The Trisha Goddard Show for its
continuing series on Race in America and the results couldn’t have been
more hilarious. During the upcoming episode, Goddard revealed that
Cobb’s test showed that he has African origins. Approximately 14 percent
of his genes are sub-Saharan African. In short, Cobb is over one-tenth
African-American.

“You have a little black in you,” Goddard informed a stunned Cobb. The
audience found the results highly amusing and laughed as Cobb tried to
pretend they were wrong. He also refused to fist bump Goddard- who is
black- when she attempted to congratulate him for discovering a new part
of himself. The news sent Cobb into a state of denial and he fell back
to the conservative strategy of attacking the science. He accused the
show of sabotaging the results in some sort of liberal plot to “promote
multiculturalism.”

Lots of racists who think they are "lily white" have African genes and
African origins. Many scientists believe human life originated in Africa
and the species spread out from there. Some years ago, I submitted a
swab sample to a National Geo "origins" project that was ongoing and
discovered an African link going back many, many thousands of years. So
did my wife, who has genealogy as a hobby and had already traced her
family members back to the 16th Century in Ireland, Scotland, England
and Germany, and to the 19th Century to the Cherokees in North Carolina
and Georgia.

For well-balanced people, it's just another indicator of the commonality
of humanity and proof that every man and woman is your brother and
sister somewhere along the trail of history. For racists, it's just
another link in the chain of denial.
