Downward Spiral Continues for Keaton Jones As His Jailed Dad’s Racism Comes to Light

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Keaton Jones’ story continues to collapse as the latest report is that the 11-year-old’s estranged dad is a white supremacist. TMZ reported Wednesday, Dec. 13 that Shawn White, who is currently in jail, has bigoted paraphernalia on his Facebook page.

In screenshots captured by the website, White’s profile — which was last updated in 2015 — features memes saying, “Aryan Pride” and “Holy F— I Love Being White.”

Additionally, White’s photos include shirtless pics where he sports tattoos reading, “Pure Breed” and “White Pride.” And The Sun reported another photo shows White posing with the Aryan hand sign. The images don’t lend too much credit to claims made by Keaton’s mother, Kimberly Jones, on “CBS This Morning” that photos of her posing with a Confederate flag were “ironic” and “funny.”

Adding insult to injury is the fact that White has been imprisoned since 2015, according to documents obtained by TMZ. The sentence stems from a probation violation of a 2012 aggravated assault conviction. He’s due to be released from Knox County Jail in 2018.

The last photo Keaton had with his dad appears to have been taken in January 2015 and it is not clear where their relationship stands today.

Yet one person still defended Keaton.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
