Buddy some want to go back to a time you couldn't either.

Raiderkev ,

He just needs a ponytail n a salmon shirt n hell straight up be uncle Ruckus.

No relation

dangblingus ,

I wonder what his wife and other female relatives think of him.

VerdantSporeSeasoning ,

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've seen other clips of him. He is evil and anti-black with self-hate issues. The ideal GOP guy.

Mark, I don't think you want to do that as a black man.

Also, there wasn't any Internet service.

In that America, your kids wouldn't go to white schools, and you weren't allowed in public restrooms.

slurpeesoforion ,

And people wonder why we call him Uncle Ruckus.

He's black? Omg this guy can't see beyond his nose.

Fuck I hate having to defend these assholes but if we're going to call them out on their bullshit it needs to be accurate. The quote is slightly taken out of context because he was inexplicably trying to dodge a question that wasn't presented to him.

He is IMO trying to say I want to go back to the period of time when women couldn't vote because back then people actually fought for those rights. That's a dumbass circular argument but I don't think he is actually saying he thinks women shouldn't vote.

Hang the things they actually mean to say around their neck, not stupid slips of the tongue.

All that said - fuck this guy and fuck Huffington post for their shitty articles.

Kecessa ,

And when you take it in context you now have to wonder why he's not a democrat or independent if fighting for social improvement is so important to him

Hazzia ,

It's like he forgot what the word "conservative" means

Fuck I hate having to defend these assholes but if we’re going to call them out on their bullshit it needs to be accurate. The quote is slightly taken out of context because he was inexplicably trying to dodge a question that wasn’t presented to him.

Take a look at the rest of the stuff he's been known for saying. From the article:

  • “The only thing worse than a woman who doesn’t know her place, is a man who doesn’t know his,” he wrote on Facebook in December 2017.
  • 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.

Sure, he was trying to dodge a "gotcha" question, but his answer falls right in line with what he's been saying for years anyway. His statement is completely in line with his other stated beliefs.

Perhaps I need to get my eyes checked, but.. Isn't he black? I shudder to think what a black man "knowing his place" in NC meant just a handful of years ago.

Ok so in the larger picture this is probably exactly what he wants, but I still stand by my statement for this particular case.

tacomama ,

This is only the beginning with this guy. I’m not going to list any of it, but he said some absolutely awful things about many women, including Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, Oprah, Taylor Swift, AOC, Pelosi, and at least 15 other public figures. 😳

Exactly. When these people tell you who they really are, believe them. They're not lying, they're not joking, they're not confused.

Furbag ,

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.

Hazzia ,

Man we don't even need monkey's paw levels of fuckery for this guy to immediately regret his lack of forethought on that one, even a straight-laced wish granting entity will do.

xc2215x ,

True, Mark would face lots of racism back then.

"They hated him because he spoke the truth"

captainlezbian ,

Maybe we should take away men’s political franchisement based on gender. Just as a change of pace instead. /s

Morefan ,

All it takes for a government to control a majority female voter base is some scaremongering and the promise of free handouts. Put this formula into play and women will concede to a predetermined federal agenda like ideological cattle; all whilst being completely self-assured that they are the ones who are in control. Despite having betrayed women with the feminist ideological myth, women are government’s contemporary primary interest. By ideologically ruling the women, government may consolidate power on behalf of the economic elite and subdue the common man (oh how ironically Marxist!) Feminism is not entirely about women; but rather the ideological weaponisation of women against men to destroy the traditional family.

Oh you genuinely believe I shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Fuck off loser.

Morefan ,

Oh look an emotional outburst after being presented with facts. Thanks for demonstrating my point!

Oh look a new account, one day old, and already nothing but trollery.

Thanks for demonstrating the inherent goodness of other commenters by providing such a clear foil to them, lol.

Morefan ,

inherent goodness

that's a strange way to spell 'paid shills'.

captainlezbian ,

Wait are other people getting paid to dunk on you? I’m just doing it because it’s easy and fun.

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.

superduperenigma ,

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

Asafum ,

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. :/

archonet ,

every now and again I remember Rush Limbaugh is dead, and it makes me smile just a little

Moobythegoldensock ,

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.
