The estranged father of tween at the center of a Tennessee bullying scandal, has a history of sharing white supremacy propaganda on Facebook, it has been revealed.
Keaton Jones's father, Shawn White, has been in prison since May 2015 for a probation violation related to a 2012 aggravated assault conviction.
But before he was locked up, he shared a series of Facebook photos wearing an 'SS' sweatshirt and showing off his 'Pure Breed' and 'White Pride' tattoos.
The convict at Knox County Jail also has a neck tattoo of 'CWB', which is connected to the Crazy White Boy gang.
It's unclear what type of relationship White has with Keaton, who shares a last name with his mother. White last shared a photo of his son in 2015.
White's Facebook photos have emerged a day after Keaton's mother, Kimberly, broke down in tears while discussing the backlash against photos she posted showing herself and her son posing with Confederate flags.

(7,633 posts)Using the n**** word and making racist remarks then its no wonder he is bullied. I do agree that the kid did not choose his parents. if they passed their values to him it is really sad for everybody involved.

(27,813 posts)I can't imagine living such a disorganized, chaotic lifestyle, and I'm sure that both of Keaton Jones' parents had dysfunctional backgrounds too.
One way we can work on bullying is to try and stop the patterns of abuse a lot of victims have suffered. Bullies often are bullied themselves.

She wasn't serious when she took several pictures of herself and her kids holding the Confederate Flag.
I'm sure it's just coincidence that the person she chose to marry is a White Power Racist, who wants the world to know so much about his beliefs, that he blazes them all over his body.
I have no doubt that this kid is completely sweet, open minded, and without prejudice. After all, he has such good influences, I'm sure there is not a bigoted bone in his body.

When I lived in East TN I was shocked at the racists who spoke openly about lynching minorities. My ex-gf also told me the people of Unicoi kicked all of the African-Americans out in the 1950s. The reason they kicked them out:
B/c a black man talked with a white woman.
To this day no black people live in that town. I could share other experiences I had there, but I don't want to relive them- I will say that place has some of the most beautiful mountains on the East coast AND hiking trails.
