  • Watch a White Supremacist Find Out He’s Part African [VIDEO]

    In news that sounds more like something you’d hear on April Fools’ Day, a white supremacist recently found out that he is part African. And guess what makes this story even better? The white supremacist in question is the guy who is trying to start a “whites only” town.

    This sounds like something from a Dave Chappelle skit, but it’s really not (if you’ve never watched Chappelle’s “Black White Supremacist” skit, you can check it out here, but be warned–it isn’t remotely safe for work and may be quite offensive, depending on your sense of humor).

    Craig Cobb, the white supremacist in question, appeared on an episode of the The Trisha Goddard Show, which will air on November 18. We’re not sure why, exactly, Cobb would want to appear on a talk show hosted by a black woman, but it’s safe to say that Trisha got the last laugh after revealing the results of his DNA test. Watch Craig Cobb learning of his African roots below.

    “You’ve got a little black in you,” Goddard informed Cobb. How’s that for karma? Thanks to the DNA test, Cobb learned that he is actually 14 percent African, which was quite a blow for the white supremacist, as one can imagine. Or it would be, anyway, if he actually believed the test. Cobb claims that the test wasn’t scientific enough and believes that the DNA company used to provide his test results, Ancestry by DNA, conspired against him.

    At any rate, he plans to have his DNA retested by another company and hopes, of course, that that the 14 percent African heritage will go away. “I’m very anxious to. I’m probably going to get one overnighted to me,” Cobb said. “I’m going to use the National Geographic test. I’m going to use Ancestry DNA, which is the one this shlock company, AncestrybyDNA, piggybacks on. They literally copied the packaging!”

    So, what happens next if further DNA tests prove that Cobb really is part African? The plans for the “whites only” town in North Dakota will go on. Cobb told The Daily Mail that he will serve as a “border guard for the purebreds” in his town. He also says, “Well if I did have any n**** we don’t want anymore of it.”

    The single black resident that lives in Leith, the town Cobb hopes to convert over, absolutely loved the DNA results. “I knew there was one other black person in town,” Bobby Harper said. “Is he going to want to kick his own self out of town and discriminate against himself?”

    Judging from the Twitter reaction, it appears that Trisha and Harper weren’t the only ones amused with the results of Cobb’s DNA test:

  • White Supremacist Town: Residents Fighting Back

    The small town of Leith, North Dakota, that is currently under seige by white supremacists, is fighting back, according to Fox News. The town has reportedly formed a legal defense fund to stop a longtime white supremacist, Craig Cobb, from taking over the town, which has a population of 24, and turning it into an all-white enclave.

    “We need people from across the state to come alongside of us and show support that they don’t believe in what this guy is doing,” Lee Cook, a Leith City Council member told The Bismarck Tribune. “There are a lot of people who could speak up. It’s not tricky. Silence, to me, means that whatever he’s doing is OK.”

    With a population of just two dozen in a mostly white county, Leith, North Dakota is apparently an attractive destination for members of the U.S. National Socialist Movement, who revealed that they are making plans to turn the shrinking town into an all-white enclave. Grant County Sheriff Steve Bay is prepared for the worst if clashes break out between a band of neo-Nazi white supremacists and protesters.

    This weekend, state residents have planned a “peaceful show of solidarity” with the town.

    “We cannot accept this racist hatred they are bringing here. Leith is in a crisis and is crying out for help,” said Jeremy Kelly, a resident of Bismarck.

    According to the Reuters, today will be the second day of the U.S. National Socialist Movement’s plan to introduce themselves to the community in what their organization’s leader, Jeff Schoep, calls an “act of good will and faith.” The ridiculous group is reportedly America’s largest neo-Nazi organization, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has the unenviable job of tracking hate groups.

    According to the Center, for more than a year, white supremacy activist Craig Cobb, who is wanted in Canada for willfully promoting hatred, has been snatching up properties in crumbling Leith and inviting fellow supremacists to move in and set up a “Pioneer Little Europe,” as some supporters have called it. He has made a sales pitch to the like-minded. He praised the area’s good paying jobs and the selection of satellite TV providers.

    Cobb reportedly spends his days in his rough two-story home with no running water. But he seems to have internet because he spends an exorbitant amount of time posting online, advocating for white supremacists to join his settlement. “I only need 17 people,” he said with a chuckle. “You have to have a majority to win an election. If we get 22 we’ve got a landslide.”

    In an interview with WXMB-TV in Bismarck, Cobb said he had gotten a lot of offers to buy up land from what he termed like-minded people who believe white people should not be punished for wanting to live near each other.

    Schoep said that the visitors would inspect the new property, raise ceremonial flag poles, and hold a town meeting and a news conference. “We have every intention of legally assuming control of the local government,” Schoep said.

    “It’s fine for all these other minorities, but not us,” he said. “If you merely speak about it, you’re going to be defamed in this country.”

    Two of Craig Cobb’s neighbors are Sherrill Harper, who is white, and her husband Bobby, who is black. Bobby Harper, a 52-year-old welder, said he has spoken to Cobb only once. He says Cobb’s plans don’t bother him much.

    “The most extreme thing you can do is hate another man because of the color of his skin, (but) I don’t think we should get too excited,” he said. “I believe right will prevail.”

    I sure hope it does.

  • White Supremacist Town Needing Support

    White Supremacist Town Needing Support

    A small town in North Dakota, population 24, is fighting a battle against a man that moved into their tiny community and is wanting to take over and make it a white supremacist community.

    61-year-old, Craig Cobb, purchased property in Leith, a town located in Grant County. He is a self-declared white supremacist and recently made known his plans to take control of the town and local government.

    “We need people from across the state to come alongside of us and show support that they don’t believe in what this guy is doing,” Lee Cook, a Leith City Council member told The Bismarck Tribune. “There are a lot of people who could speak up. It’s not tricky. Silence, to me, means that whatever he’s doing is OK.”

    The community has started a legal defense fund to help with any legal costs that they may endure while trying to stop Cobb from taking over their town.

    Jeremy Kelly of Bismarck said he and the other organizers are hoping to have people from all over the state come join them for a peaceful show of solidarity for Leith. A bus was scheduled to leave at 1:30 p.m. at the Stamart Truck Stop off Interstate 94, Exit 161.

    “We cannot accept this racist hatred they are bringing here. Leith is in a crisis and is crying out for help,” Jeremy Kelly, a resident of Bismarck told The Tribune.

    Cobb believes that he is superior because he is white and he doesn’t trust people of other races or women.

    “I only need 17 people,” he said. “You have to have a majority to win an election. If we get 22 we’ve got a landslide.” He continued saying: “If I’m the only one in Leith forever, white consciousness has already been raised.”
