The monkey’s paw curls. Mark Robinson is transported back to the year 1900. Women can’t vote. He is then promptly arrested and imprisoned for the crime of being a colored man in a whites-only establishment.
True, Mark would face lots of racism back then.

Careful how far back you go, buddy…….
Ironically, aren’t those the days where lynching was legal? Man, we have thee dumbest politicians.
*most craven
He’s probably making 6 figures by saying these things. A lot of people decide to sell out their social grouping for hard cash, this Uncle Ruckus motherfucker is just doing it in public and in a little more blatant / attention grabbing fashion than usual.
This guy is quoted several times as saying that it was the Republicans who fought for social change. I wish someone in the audience had the balls to ask, “when you say Republicans, are you talking about liberals or conservatives?”
He’s trying to take credit for liberal successes, while being in the conservative party. It’d be like if King Charles tried to take credit for the success of the Boston Tea Party because it was done by British colonists.
My wife literally said, “He gets to lose his rights first. Then we will talk.”
I’ve read this guy also says African Americans should pay reparations to whites for bringing them to the Americas.
I wonder what his wife and other female relatives think of him.
I’ve had female relatives mad when the churches they attended started letting women vote in church matters. So I’m guessing about like that. Self hate is such a warm little cocoon once you cut off the parts of yourself that it demands.
I think the women of North Carolina should oblige him by specifically not voting…for him. Only him though.
Isnt that around the same time black people were not allowed to do uuhhh well anything? Bit weird
Better yet:
SOMEONE QUICK RETURN THIS MAN TO HIS OWNER.
See? Ya sound like a fuckin dick when ya say shit like that.
You’re incorrectly assuming logic and reason are in play. They are not.
What do you mean, I’m sure the 1920s were great for them! Oh wait maybe not
Maybe he was thinking of before that … Yeah no I don’t know, maybe he’s thinking of a different “America?” Maybe South America has better history around then with regard to equality and peace in general. I’ll, uh, leave that as an exercise to the reader 😅
No, no, you see he has to be at the top so he can pull the ladder up behind him. That’s the whole point of being a Republican! You can’t make him go back to him being at the bottom with the poors and the women and, God forbid, the gays!
Haha “the gays” the gays did it!!
Of course the gays did it. Their rainbows are a source of immense power - it can turn frogs gay, your children trans, make your wife leave you for another woman, and most cruelly force decent, heterosexual men to have sex with each other (no homo).
The greatest threat they pose is if we let them marry, becoming a sort of gay Voltron. Also unisex bathrooms are right out because we need to make sure that anyone holding their penis in their hand is in the same room together at the same time. That’s super straight, just like highschool wrestling.
Yeah, I wonder how he’d feel about walking it back further, to a time when black men also could not vote. Or maybe to a time when all blacks in this country were considered farm equipment. He sure likes to talk about how various groups of people should “know their place”.
I’ve seen other clips of him. He is evil and anti-black with self-hate issues. The ideal GOP guy.
“because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”
This room full of women was quiet as he spoke, though a faint “That’s right” could be heard when Robinson later said Republicans ended Jim Crow laws.
There’s a non-outrage-inducing non-headline grabbing logic here that is him saying he wishes republicans were more liberal
It’s very different from saying “I don’t think women should be allowed to vote”
If the masses can’t distinguish between these two concepts (they certainly cannot) then it is what it is. Pillory the guy, I don’t give an F, I wouldn’t have voted a republican in to a leadership position anyway due to the party’s policies and issues that are systemic.
“If blacks should stand up against racism, and women should stand up against sexism…shouldn’t men stand up against feminism?” he posted on Sept. 20, 2016.
That same day, he also wrote, “I am REALLY sick of feminism and feminist. They are just as bad, if not worse, than racist.”
There’s plenty more to revisit with Robinson’s attacks on women, including calling them “whores,” “witches” and “rejected drag queens.” There’s also his record of quoting Adolf Hitler, fanning Islamophobia, saying trans people should be arrested for using bathrooms, casting doubts on the Holocaust and spreading countless dangerous conspiracy theories.
No one is saying he isn’t a garbage human, they’re saying the headline for the article is rage-bait.
It is and it kinda isn’t?
He didn’t explicitly say he wanted to go back to women not being able to vote but he might as well have if you take every other fucked up thing he’s said into account.
Interestingly, right before this the article says
During this event, Robinson, who was running for lieutenant governor at the time, recalled someone recently asking conservative activist Candace Owens to pick which version of America would make America “great again,” one where “Black people were swinging from cheap trees” or one where women weren’t allowed to vote.
Anyway. Article is from Huffpost so of course it’s got outrage headlines (and usually has rather biased reporting).
That said, fuck the GOP.

I posted this above, but it makes more sense in a reply to what you said. I wish someone in the audience had the balls to ask, “when you say Republicans, are you talking about liberals or conservatives?”
He’s trying to take credit for liberal successes, while being in the conservative party. It’d be like if King Charles tried to take credit for the success of the Boston Tea Party because it was done by British colonists.

Even if you got them to ask this, they’d immediately get defensive because liberal is a bad word to them simply because it means having something in common with the opposition party to them. The true meaning is lost once you get into a public political context today. Just more manipulation of language to suit keeping public opinion of their voters being on their side after consultants or analysts figure out what engages people the most.
Also after reading about this guy on wikipedia, he seems like a real piece of work. Not too surprising since you’re required to master doublespeak in all political and leadership roles to be successful today.
Thanks for calling this out. The full context completely changes the meaning.
Mark, I don’t think you want to do that as a black man.
Also, there wasn’t any Internet service.
And people wonder why we call him Uncle Ruckus.
Get out of his way, he’s running for defeaat.
Bizarre? Republicans have been whining about women’s suffrage for a long time now.
When women got the right to vote is when it all went down hill
-Rush Limbaugh, 2012
I wish hell was real. I hate knowing these people lived a full life and got away with all the suffering they’ve caused…
Except instead of a real hell for the people that deserve it all we get is hell on earth that these people create for us to suffer in. :/
Robinson said he would definitely return to the days in America when women were denied the right to vote “because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”
Yes, because that was before the Republican party became enshittified by Goldwater’s Southern Strategy. Those same people who fought for social change back then would be Democrats now.
I love the irony when Republicans try to claim they’re the party of Lincoln while also raising Confederate flags and trying to disenfranchise minorities.
Notice they never say it was “conservatives” who did this good thing in the past. They always say “Republican” when talking about good things in the past, all while using “liberal” as a slur in the present.
There’s nothing bizarre about this you bunch of shitty ass journalists. This type of bullshit has always been part and parcel of the Republican party.
