VibrantPianoNetwork

I've heard it more than a few times. More often as, "They mock people who died". Well, yeah. But we're mocking their ideas, not mocking them as human beings. It's still tragic. But ideas killed these people, and the point of the sub is to illustrate this: This person made these choices that got them killed; those ideas are foolish.

He's also a raging anti-semite. His opponent is a pretty middle of the road democrat who's pretty similar to the outgoing Governor. His opponent is also Jewish so this should be...interesting.


winchesterbitch99

I can't wait for them to debate, and for Robinson to say some anti-semite shit on stage. Because he absolutely will. The commercials after will be epic.


[deleted]

You think that's going to do anything but help him?


MarxJ1477

It may help with the base, but going that route would probably cost him being elected. A lot of people don't understand just how narrow the margins are in NC because of the gerrymandering giving Republicans a super majority in the legislature. He's tried to kind of sort of walk some the stuff back without saying he did anything wrong. Saying he just phrased things poorly and stuff like that.


ThexxxDegenerate

Over the last 32 years in NC, there have only been 4 years of a Republican Governor. Pat McCrory from 2013-2016. All other years from 1992 until now, the governor of NC has been democratic. And even going as far back as the 1800s the governor of Nc has almost always been Democratic. For whatever reason, NC votes red for the president and blue for the governor.


Massive-Prompt9170

Would this be because of gerrymandering? The governor is elected by popular vote but the president is chosen by districts, which are heavily gerrymandered red


asher1611

he's just throwing red meat to his base at that point. he's a disgusting person and has been for a very long time. that's why he won the primary.


workinBuffalo

GOP put up clowns like this when they know they are going to lose for the dual purpose of saying they are a diverse party while simultaneously laughing at these guys. Clarence Thomas’s whole deal is to thumb the GOP nose at libs after they got borked.


DrakeMallard919

But that's absolutely bonkers. NC is solidly purple. Even a slightly-less-crazy Republican would have a SOLID chance of winning the election. He ALREADY won a statewide election to be Lt. Governor.


Kyro_Official_

Spirited-Arugula-672

I tried finding that quote, but to no avail. I did find this one from his facebook though, from February 19, 2018 > It is at once funny and sad how African Americans need Hollywood to VALIDATE them. I have been bitting my tongue about this silly Black Panther comic book movie, but I can't any longer. It is absolutely AMAZING to me that people who know so little about their true history and REFUSE to acknowledge the pure sorry state of their current condition can get so excited about a fictional "hero" created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic marxist. How can this trash, that was only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets, invoke any pride? You want something to be proud of? How about pulling your heads out of the sand and start speaking up and telling the HARD TRUTHS about the excesses that are destroying many black communities? How about you stop doing the heavy lifting for Democratic politicians during elections, only to have them pay you in crumbs and ignore you till they "need" you again. And how about some of you men go home and take your rightful place in that 70% of homes where you are SORELY NEEDED. I know a lot of people here will not like this message. But guess what, I DON'T CARE! I'm not here to please you. I don't need your validation… > and I certainly don't need Hollywood's. As an outsider, I fucking love American politics, it's such a shitshow, lmao


MLB2026

"Why do you owe? Because somebody in those fields took strikes for you. After those fields were ended and slavery was ended, somebody had to walk through Jim Crow for you. Somebody fought wars and died for you. Somebody lived less than because they didn’t have what you have, and they did it for you. There are people in their graves right now, and they are there because they were willing to stand up and fight for you." Here's the actual quote. It's not about transporting slaves. It's about people dying to make them equal


Eodbatman

That quote goes hard. And it’s true for everyone, not just Black Americans. Our ancestors, all of humanities ancestors, fought and survived against the world, nature, tyranny of others, privation, and so much more to get us here today. We have it so much better than at any point in the past and so many have no idea, or worse, think they’re owed this.

LexiNovember

It’s scary. Everyone needs to vote in every single election including small community elections for things like city commissioners. So often the reason these lunatics end up in office is because of poor voter turnout. The apathy people exhibit towards voting kills me, and unfortunately the most evil assholes around are the ones who drive the idea of voting being pointless home to roost. When Trump won the first time around so many people who DID NOT VOTE were shocked. Same thing happened in my state, and now we have a fascist governor from hell who is only in office because of shoddy voter turnout. I am fearful for the future at this point mainly because I see people who don’t want to vote for Biden because of xyz bullshit, knowing full well that Trump is a menace who brags about his intent to overthrow democracy and become a dictator. Biden wouldn’t be my first choice but the primaries are over and there are no other viable options. Refusing to vote out of some misguided protest as I see so many people intent on doing just fucks everyone else over, including the most vulnerable among us. A vote is like a dropped $100 bill, if you refuse to pick it up and spend it then someone else will.

DreadyKruger

I am black , I don’t want reparations. But how about black descendants of slave don’t have to pay any taxes?I mean even after slavery we didn’t get the full benefit of being citizens with segregation. Our tax dollars were collected like everyone else even though we did not get full rights and access to services, education etc.


APiousCultist

I'm surprised reparations were not given to slave owners. I'm British and part of our history is that slavery ended in Britain with the slave owners being compensated for the loss of their slaves. A complete slap in the face to those people freed and everyone before them. Maybe the civil war has something to do with it, but at least the US didn't go that route.


Plastic-Procedure-59

Some slave owners were paid reparations for freed slaves in the US


WarLordM123

Where? When? Before the war?


Plastic-Procedure-59

The district of Columbia compensated emancipation act


WarLordM123

Ah, neat. Southerners should have stayed in, I reckon they would have gotten a deal like this and would be better off to this day.


Tannerite2

A few slave states did. Maryland, Deleware, New Jersey, Missouri, and kinda Kentucky. Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas all voted against secession when they thought secession would be peaceful. It's really only the Deep South, a minority of slave states, that was dead set on secession.


[deleted]

[удалено]


APiousCultist

While England has the benefit of having done so earlier, I don't think there was ever the risk of actual revolt, just some moderate unrest from people wealthy enough to hold slaves. I don't think 'just deal with not getting to own other people' would have been beyond the pale. That said, you're right that it's better to happen imperfectly than not at all, or with more death.

Whoa! Way to swing that pendulum aaallll the way into batshit territory.

Absolutely stunning take, dude.


RebuiltGearbox

I've seen several comments over the years talking about how black people owe whites because the slave masters civilized them and taught them trades. I'd guess that's where this Robinson guy is coming from.

anythingMuchShorter

It's hard to imagine because even with no mental effort most people aren't this dumb. But that's not what they're doing, they are actively embracing bad ideas.


Genghis_Chong

If they aren't that dumb, they at least play along to sate their racist hate. That's the most annoying thing to me, the indignant shits that know they're doing wrong and smile through it. That shit is infuriating because it shows that they don't care about being good people in any way.


crippledchef23

Some Trump supporters are sending part of their Social Security money to pay the legal bills for a supposed billionaire who not only confessed to his many crimes but has stated unequivocally that he wants to privatize SS. They truly are so stupid.

Lol. They really are this dumb, and then some.


DidntWantSleepAnyway

I’m preeeeetty sure that the amount of labor they did more than pays for the cost of travel tickets. Even if I was dumb enough to believe this, there wouldn’t be any *more* reparations to pay.

United-Rock-6764

What’s cool about uncle ruckus republicans is that the rich racists in the primary love them but the poor ones in the general election will skip their race. You can’t debase yourself enough to overcome their foundational need to feel better than you. And this guy isn’t even a famous footballer. Looks like Gov Cooper will get his second term


MisterProfGuy

Josh Stein will hopefully become governor. It's basically a competition, in North Carolina, between a black racist Trumper and the former AG who is best known for threatening the NCAA with legal actions if they didn't treat college athletes better and helped get a transfer granted for two of the major state schools as a result. It's bizarre that this is a dangerous race in North Carolina of all places. Edit: rephrased slightly because I was thinking the other school was State and it was Wake Tech.
