TMZ has dug up Facebook posts by Shawn White, Keatonโ€™s dad, which had multiple memes, including ones that read โ€œHOLY FUCK I LOVE BEING WHITE,โ€ โ€œKeep Calm and be White Prideโ€ and โ€œAryan Pride.โ€

Further polluting someoneโ€™s Facebook timeline were shirtless selfies of White showing two tattoos. One on his chest read โ€œPure Breed,โ€ while the one on his stomach quipped โ€œWhite Pride.โ€

TMZ also notes that thereโ€™s a tattoo on his neck that reads โ€œCWB,โ€ a common abbreviation for the Crazy White Boy gang.

The memes TMZ uncovered were all posted way back in 2014, but that could be because White has been locked up in Knox County (Tenn.) Jail since May 2015 because of a probation violation related to a 2012 aggravated assault conviction.

White is not scheduled to be released until 2018.

It is not quite clear if White even has a relationship with his sonโ€”who went viral after his mom posted a video of him crying and taking a stand against bullyingโ€”but it definitely adds an intriguing layer to the story of the family who insisted that posing with the Confederate flag was โ€œironic,โ€ โ€œfunnyโ€ and just plain olโ€™ Tennessee.
