No denial from candidate for governor of North Carolina, who is suing CNN for report on his ‘Black NAZI’ porn profile

Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s embattled Republican gubernatorial candidate, suggested that people who can’t take care of their children should be sterilized, according to one of a series of incendiary and racist social media posts from 2014 through 2019.

The commentary made in reference to Black families, which used terms a white supremacist would find appropriate, predates his time as the state’s lieutenant governor, but much of it came after his rise as a public figure on the right. Most of the social media posts have not previously been reported.

“I have more respect for loyal DOGS than I do for PEOPLE who don’t take care of their children,” Robinson wrote on his Facebook page in 2014. The post contained the hashtag “#haveyourdeadbeatsspayedandneutered”.

Robinson has been in a state of damage control for the last few weeks. Last month, CNN revealed old posts made under his profile on pornographic websites, in which the conservative candidate for governor purportedly described himself as a “Black NAZI” and pined for a return to the days of slavery.

“I said this once and I’m saying it again; A weak minded, muddle headed negro, ALWAYS thinks he and “his people” are victims.”

“I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!”

“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it [slavery] back. I would certainly buy a few,”

“I’d take Hitler over any of the shit that’s in Washington right now!”

In 2021, he referred to transgender and homosexual people as “filth”. He has also said people who are gay are equivalent to “what the cows leave behind” as well as “maggots” and “flies”.

What on Earth is wrong with this man? He needs some heavy-duty therapy. But also, how the hell does someone like this get elected to public office?

I would certainly buy a few,”

I would love to see someone say straight to his face “I’d buy you” “you can’t” “why not? You’re black” and watch him try to reconcile that. Idiot
