In unearthed Facebook posts, Mark Robinson also called the civil rights movement “crap” and vowed to work on MLK Day because he’s “not a leach."
Martin Luther King Jr. was just an “ersatz pastor” and a “communist,” and the 1960s civil rights movement was “crap,” according to a series of Facebook posts by Mark Robinson, the leading Republican candidate to be North Carolina’s next governor.
Robinson, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, regularly criticized King and the civil rights movement for years on Facebook ― specifically on MLK Day ― HuffPost found amid a review of his posts. The Black politician also downplayed slavery, rejected the idea that he’s part of the African American community, and attacked the late congressman and civil rights icon, John Lewis.
These posts are surfacing at a time when Robinson, who is on track to be the GOP nominee for governor in November, has been trying to soften his rhetoric, and celebrate King and the civil rights movement.
This man has declared bankruptcy FOUR TIMES. He has been under investigation for the past two years because he used campaign donations to pay off personal debt, among other things.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near running a state or in charge of any budget, near a budget, or even be allowed to see a budget.
He has also praised Hitler on social media.
Oh, and he misspelled the word ‘leach’ (leech) in his post because WHY WOULD WE NEED PEOPLE RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT WHO CAN ACTUALLY SPELL SIMPLE FUCKING WORDS like a third grader could.
What always blows my mind the most is how these people see no issue with filing for bankruptcy (sometimes multiple times), but are against “handouts” like social security and unemployment that people pay into and are earned benefits. The same people that grumbled about “nobody wants to work”, but then stole thousands of dollars in COVID relief money they had no right to.
He has also praised Hitler on social media.
Fucking what???
Yes, one of his GOP opponents is running ads right now in North Carolina pointing this out.
Huh, I could see a Democrat opponent successfully pointing that shit out in the general election, but in the GOP primary that would probably make more people vote for Robinson.
Sounds like a guy Trump would like.
Or at least someone he’d pretend to like as much as he’s ever pretended to like someone who is not white.
Sounds like a fine US Conservative political candidate!
I can forgive minor spelling mistakes. It’s easy enough to misplace a finger while typing. That doesn’t mean they think it’s spelled that way. But everything else you pointed out is more than bad enough.
I would forgive it, if he didn’t misspell words in everything he posts and wasn’t running for Governor of a U.S. state. None of the other candidates misspell words in their posts, ever.
FYI, the leach is the trailing edge of a sail. Not that I think he knows that, but maybe his spellcheck does. Doesn’t excuse the rest….
Get it right, motherfucker. He was a socialist. And he was right.
We’re talking about people who think giving kids school lunch for free is communism.
“Is there Communism in the room with us right now?” is my go-to reply.
Can you show us on the doll where communism touched you?

LOL, I ask them the same thing about “antifa”.
“But it’s going to quickly destroy the fabric of the family and the willingness of people to work if we provide assistance to those rightfully placed at the bottom of society!”
-Rich people who opposed the introduction of the Poor Law in Elizabethan England in 1601.
Listen, it is pretty difficult to be able to define all of the words they regurgitate. Do any of us really understand the words that are coming out of our mouths?
… yes?
Ok, well, that’s probably fake news. Pretty sure you are a Marxist Leninist Post-Communism antisemite. I’m trying to think of all of the other words TFG told me to say, but I don’t have time to listen and “read” things.
Wait a second, why doesn’t anyone talk about how Trump did 9/11? Donald Jessy Rafael financed the whole thing. Well, he said he did, repeatedly.

Fuck, I forgot all about it. It’s easy to forget these things, as I haven’t been spoon fed the bad info by President Powdered Orange Drink. Can ya really blame me? Death Panels!
Thats a neatly condenced rant, for sure.
In my defense, the internet is filled with absolute lunatics.
I appreciate your compliments! Idk why I do what I do. I screw around too much.
I think there was an implied /s. Or at least that’s how I’m reading it.
Yes.
But only I understand them.
Cryptolalia is a bitch.
giving kids lunch for free is communism
People think absurd things like that because of racism.
Hmm… I wonder if Mark Robinson would be able to run for governor if not for MLK. Guess will never know…
Fat Kanye said what?
Huh, that’s exactly what cons said way back when MLK was still alive - that he was a Communist.
He was a party member like me
Real life Clayton Bigsby right here.
Uncle Ruckus runs for governor
“Republican”
That’s all you need to say.
Kanyes mentor
He knows its gonna be hard as fuck to get elected republican while black so he has to go out of his way to make it clear he hates black people.
Those statements were from before he was campaigning, now that he is he’s doing his best to say the opposite.
They were an indication of who he is, not who he’s selling himself as.
Trying to downlplay his racsim to sell himself as a republican? Bold strategy etc etc
Real classy. Still, on par with the current state of the Republican Party.
“vowed to work on MLK Day because he’s “not a leach.”"
I just can’t stop laughing at this.
rejected the idea that he’s part of the African American communityWhatever is going on here is definitely a “him” thing.
It’s the term" Uncle Tom," offensive. Because he’s definitely fitting that description. I remember learning it from social studies in reference to Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Yes, it’s offensive.
Also definitely fitting and deserved in this case.
The polite term we of the melanated tonage have for him is “house slave”, the accurate one using language we shall not mention in polite company
Where does the brown paper bag fit in to all this?
On your head
I like Uncle Ruckus as the more contemporary version. “Martin, I’da shot you myself, but white folk got better aim.”
God he’s such an amazingly written character. “I got revitilago, each year I get blacker dahker,”. Also everyone knows who he is.
Jesus was a communist then I guess.
Shhhh… Don’t let the evangelicals hear you say that
The guy giving away loaves and fishes? I’m shocked
[Insert “Yes” meme here]
If this is what you have to say in N.C. to get elected, I’m really worried about N.C.
This is what concerns you? Not the thousands of other much more relevant issues? Some wanna-be blowhard class and race traitor?
You can be concerned about a disease based on its symptoms.
He is part of the overall problem. The fuck are you talking about?
…Yes, cause that means the base he is working with to get elected is one he thinks wants to hear this.
