NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Says He’s A ‘Victim Of High-Tech Lynching’ Like Clarence Thomas

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is working to clean up his image now that he has been linked to two salacious adult websites, including one where he allegedly declared his love for slavery and referred to himself as a “Black NAZI” and a “perv” who “enjoyed watching transgender pornography” on the site’s message board, according to CNN. Despite the fact that his activity on these sites, which occurred more than a decade ago, is seemingly confirmed through email addresses that belonged to him and what CNN called a “litany of biographical details,” Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, denies ever being engaged in either site, which includes Ashley Maddison, the website for married people who are looking to cheat on their spouses.

“We are staying in this race. We are in it to win it,” Robinson said in a video he posted to X Thursday amid reported calls from his staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the gubernatorial race.

“Let me reassure you the things that you will see in that story — those are not the words of Mark Robinson,” he said. “You know my words. You know my character.”

Yeah — I’m going to go ahead and stop you there, Mark. Yes, we know your words and your character, and that’s exactly why none of this is hard to believe. 

Robinson once argued against reparations by suggesting it’s actually the Black descendants of enslaved people who “owe” reparations to the white people who died in the Civil War for their ancestors to be freed. (One of many instances in which Robinson appeared to have forgotten that he’s also Black.) So, it wouldn’t exactly be some big bombshell if it were true that he commented on a message board: “Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it back. I would certainly buy a few.”

And Robinson has certainly sounded like a “Black NAZI” before, including when he declared that “some folks need killing,” including “people who have evil intent,” ambiguously “wicked people,” socialists and Communists, and people who are accused of crimes who have not been afforded due process.

But arguably the most comically ironic part of Robinson’s video is when he compared himself to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

“Clarence Thomas famously once said he was the victim of a high-tech lynching,” Robinson said, referring to the allegations of sexual harassment brought against Thomas in 1991 by Anita Hill, who worked as an adviser to him at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. “Well, it looks like Mark Robinson is too.”

Listen: there are plenty of reasons why Robinson and Thomas are comparable. They could both be top nominees for the Real-Life Uncle Ruckus Award. Neither of them has any qualms about attacking civil protections for the LGBTQ+ community or for Black people. They both seem to share the same favorite “Black job,” which is to protect whiteness at all costs.

But Robinson is not the victim of a “high-tech lynching” — and neither was Thomas for that matter (It’s arguable Hill was). If anything, Robinson is a victim of his own karma. After all, when a person has called members of the LGBTQ+ community “filth,” falsely linked homosexuality to pedophilia, and chided educators for teaching students about “transgenderism,” that person had better hope there’s nothing in his online history that indicates he hates trans people but loves their porn — because somebody is probably going to dig that up eventually.
