Welcome, Brother Cobb!

The newest addition to the Involuntary People of Color Club, revealed courtesy of NBC鈥檚 is Craig Paul Cobb 鈥� the epithet-spewing, violence-glorifying, black-hating neo-Nazi who鈥檚 been trying to take over a tiny town in North Dakota and transform it into an all-white homeland for 鈥淎ryans.鈥�

It turns out that Cobb, 62, couldn鈥檛 live there himself if he succeeded.

For reasons that no one with a brain can understand, Cobb recently agreed to submit to a DNA test and then learn the results on a pre-taped episode of Goddard鈥檚 鈥淩ace in America鈥� series that is set for broadcast on Nov. 18. The confrontation, made public in a video of the exchange obtained and , is one that will live on in the annals of bizarre television history.

As she opens the envelope, Cobb leans in toward Goddard, who is black, with an interested grin. 鈥淓ighty-six percent European...鈥� she begins, and the audience and another (black) guest begin to applaud and howl with laughter.

鈥淎nd 14% sub-Saharan African!鈥� she finishes.

Cobb moves away from his host, but the now-wooden smile stays pasted in place. 鈥淲ait a minute, wait a minute, hold on!鈥� he says. 鈥淭his is called statistical noise.鈥�

Goddard can scarcely contain herself. 鈥淵ou have a little black in you, bro!鈥� she cries, as the audience erupts and Cobb鈥檚 face darkens. 鈥淚鈥檒l tell you what,鈥� he spits out. 鈥淥il and water don鈥檛 mix!鈥� Goddard tries twice to give a fist bump to Cobb, who avoids her touch and eye as he grins sheepishly at the audience.

Later, Cobb tried for a little damage control.

鈥淚 agreed to the test because I assumed it was science,鈥� Cobb told the British paper, adding that he only later realized that it was the product of 鈥渃raven and debased executives鈥� whose 鈥済oal is to shock.鈥� Pressed by the paper, he said, 鈥淲ell, if I did have any n-----, we don鈥檛 want any more of it.鈥� In that event, he added, he would work as a 鈥渂order guard for the purebreds.鈥�

Licking his wounds, Cobb consulted an old friend, Jeff Schoep, leader of the National Socialist Movement, the neo-Nazi organization that came to Leith, N.D., to demonstrate on Cobb鈥檚 behalf recently. 鈥淗e just laughed,鈥� Cobb said.

Perhaps that鈥檚 less of a surprise than it might seem. As the Southern Poverty Law Center revealed after talking to Schoep鈥檚 ex-wife, the neo-Nazi leader knew that she was partly Arab and that she had had a child with a black man 鈥� definite no-nos in the harsh racial universe of neo-Nazis like Cobb and Schoep. That revelation resulted in widespread movement attacks on Schoep as a 鈥渞ace-mixer.鈥�

Craig Cobb is certainly ridiculous. But he is not entirely alone. The reality is that those obsessed with race and anti-Semitism quite frequently turn out to have very serious secrets.

William Potter Gale, a leading American anti-Semite until his death in 1988, came from a family of devout Jews. Leo Felton, a neo-Nazi who went to prison a dozen years ago in a plot to attack Jewish and black landmarks, had a father who was black. Dan Burros, a neo-Nazi whose Jewish heritage was revealed on the front page of The New York Timesin 1965, killed himself the same day.

In recent years, one Klan leader was caught with a black transvestite prostitute. Another Klansman was found to be soliciting Latino men. Richard Barrett, the leader of the Nationalist Movement, was killed in 2010, allegedly by a young black man who told police the white supremacist had propositioned him.

Now that Cobb, like uncounted numbers of other 鈥渨hite鈥� Americans, has discovered the extent of his racial 鈥減urity,鈥� he may want to reconsider his career path. His fellow neo-Nazis are not known for their generosity when it comes to matters of race. Some of them may even be considering violence against their former comrade.

On the other hand, Cobb does have a toehold in Leith. And although 15 of the town鈥檚 16 residents are white, there is one black man there who is married to a white woman. Perhaps Craig Cobb can find a new friend in North Dakota.
