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.
i like how his goatee shows where his chin would be, if he had one…
Ahh, the George Lucas
I think he chose a goatee to highlight the pursed lower lip indicating simmering hatred that all reactionaries tend to nurture
i feel like the term “reactionary” has been so misused that it no longer has any meaning other than “someone a particular leftist doesn’t like”
Checks both boxes. What does your malformed anterior insular cortex think it means?
popular at school, were you?
reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes was better in some ways that are absent from contemporary society.
mouth breather
On a scale from 14 to 88, how scared are you of having brown grandkids?
What is this great age you want to return to? Owning people? McCarthyism? Jim Crow? Satanic Panic?

What is this great bygone age you wish to return to? This shift reactionary utopia? You’re not answering my question
