Karma, Baby

From The San Fran Chronicle:
A white supremacist who has been trying to establish an all-white enclave in North Dakota got the shock of his life during the taping of NBCU’s “Trisha Show.”
Host Trisha Goddard announced during her “Race in America” series that a test determining genetic ancestry revealed racist Craig Cobb’s genetic makeup is 86 percent European and a whole 14 percent sub-Saharan African.
A shocked Cobb, grew wide-eyed and tried to recover behind a fixed smile as audience members roared with laughter. Cobb dismissed the findings as “statistical noise,” and refused to meet the host’s fist bump as she called him “bro.” Despite his “oil and water don’t mix” defense, questioning the test’s accuracy, Goddard told him to face facts: “Sweetheart, you have a little black in you.”
It seems Dave Chappelle’s Frontline spoof on Chappelle’s Show that featured Chappelle as a black white supremacist unaware of his own race due to blindness was more based in reality than previously imagined.  http://blog.sfgate.com/hottopics/2013/11/11/white-supremacist-discovers-hes-part-black-on-talk-show/
14% Black? 
Well, I'm pretty sure, in this day and age, every one is pretty much a mutt, But still 14% is a large number, if the numbers were accurate and it wasn't made up to make a nice story.  Call me a cynic and I think the show was staged.
