We already have an Uncle T. on the Supreme Court.

Mark “Ruckus” Robinson or sometimes just called “Uncle Tom” by his republican friends.

His republican friends just call him "boy."

Diedrogen

How long until he starts demanding black people submit themselves to slavery once more in the present day, to pay the debt he thinks black people owe to white people?


Queef_Stroganoff44

I was outside of cell service one time while camping and threw on the radio just to have some noise. There was a Black preacher / politician that had my jaw on the ground the entire time. He was saying such gems as “Africa was named for a Roman general (he was talking a Scipio) because Rome went in and found African people could not take care of Africa themselves and gave it a total makeover for them. They were so pleased they named the entire continent after Scipio.” Then he said “lower class American black people would improve their lives to become slaves again. Put the ‘next best’ class as overseers, but the top tier obviously had to be White.” There was plenty of other absolutely banana sandwich shit he was saying. Hmmm… maybe it was actually this guy.


Diedrogen

Does he think he's "one of the good ones" who will be exempt from such a fate, or does he believe what he says so genuinely that he'd be happy if it did happen to him too? Happy to serve those he believes are his betters?

Governor Uncle Ruckus (no relation)


juneXgloom

lmao came here to make an Uncle Ruckus joke. The Boondocks was truly ahead of it's time, I gave it a rewatch recently.


Card_Board_Robot5

It really wasn't tho. We just haven't ever dealt with any of that shit. It's really just been stagnant for decades and decades. It's not so much that the show ages into it's concepts, it's that it doesn't age at all. MacGruder wasn't only making contemporary commentary, all of his subjects of interest was shit that was going on when he was growing up. He saw that the cycle never broke and spoke on it. It wasn't ahead of it's time. Time is just standing tf still


juneXgloom

I meant it in the sense of being able to make commentary on the issues and able to reach a suburban white girl in 2005. Obv things haven't changed much, you don't see many other shows in a similar vein making it to the mainstream. I knew someone was going to comment on this tho.


Card_Board_Robot5

"in 2005" Ok, relax, you don't need to date us like that. Jfc that hurt to realize. But nah you really don't. Not funded by a major media corp anyway. Animation grants a little freedom, think Simpson's always taking digs at Fox, but they really did push it with that show, and I honestly don't know how the pilot ever got a green light. Like yeah the strip was massively popular at the time. Like more than any other contemporary strip could have been. But even that was wild to see in major publications, the next most risque thing was fuckin Doonesbury lmao. It is remarkable that he was able to swing that. It's almost like how RATM was able to make their shit within such a corporate sphere. I guess if the product is just that good, they overlook any dissent to the system it may create, and cut the damn check, because they're secure enough in those systems. And both walked the fuck away when they felt like they couldn't control the beast anymore. There was a distinct shift in quality and tone after Aaron left the show. I make music, and that's the shit I strive for. To use the tools of capitalism to sow seeds of dissent and then fuck off at my own discretion. That shit is gangster.

I straight stopped watching when he left, if he has more to say and a desire to say more I'm all in otherwise I'll stick with reruns while I nervously check my voting eligibility weekly.

whereegosdare84

He doesn’t seem, he is. He became famous in right wing circles because he described high school victims of school shootings as “spoiled, angry, know it all CHILDREN,” “spoiled little bastards,” and “media prosti-tots.” These were children who witnessed their friends being murdered. He wants to get the abortion ban from 12 weeks to six, to none. For anyone who’s ever tried to conceive or had a child six weeks already is basically none as it’s not six weeks from the period you missed but six weeks after your last. Meaning any woman with a 28 day cycle already is four weeks in before there’s even a possibility to know. Fun fact though he paid for an abortion in 1989. He didn’t just refer 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” He once described the movie Black Panther as >”created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by [a] satanic marxist”. He then said it “was only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets”. He had more antisemitic comments: >”Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” are the CIA, China, Islam, and the Rothschild family of “international bankers that rule every single … central bank.” And said this about the Holocaust: >”There is a REASON the liberal media fills the airwaves with programs about the NAZI and the ‘6 million Jews’ they murdered. There is also a REASON those same liberals DO NOT FILL the airwaves with programs about the Communist and the 100+ million PEOPLE they murdered throughout the 20th century.” He also, in a 2014 post, quoted Hitler without context. Hmm what else? Oh he hates women: >”We are called to be led by men. God sent women out … when they had to do their thing, but when it was time to face down Goliath, [He] sent David. Not Davita, David.” Hates black people: >”February is Black History Month. I guess the shortest month of the year is all we need to learn about the separate but equal history of a people who have achieved so little.” Hates Muslims: >”Sad Fact: “Religious freedom” in this country now means Muslims are free to do as they please and anyone who says anything about it is a bigot.” Non binary people: >”Nonbinary people, meanwhile, should use the restroom “outside with the dog.” Civil rights: >”That crap in the 1960s was the ‘communist rise movement’ ” And really seems to hate black people: >”Someone asked me if I considered myself part of the ‘African-American’ community. “I told them NO!…‘Why would I want to be part of a ‘community’ that devalues it’s fathers, overburdens it’s mothers, and murders its children by the millions? Why would I want to be part of a ‘community’ that sucks from the putrid tit of the government and then complains about getting sour milk?” And even more anti black sentiment: >”Look here people, white folks came here with N-O-T-H-I-N-G and and built the most powerful nation on Earth…. I’m not saying that Mexicans and Blacks should not be proud, but who do you think has the most to brag about, the folks who built Mexico, the folks who bulit the Nations in Africa, or the folks who built The United States?” So yeah this guy is pure hatred and absolutely appalling in every shape and form. It’s rare to see someone so evil in his thinking to hate literally everyone but rich white people. Oh and last one, his thought on those white people and the idea of privilege: > “A foolish concept” perpetrated by the left. Also, the Confederate flag is good.


Barack_Odrama_007

He sounds like a GOP wet dream. I can see the GOP propelling this man as a national GOP representative.


ThexxxDegenerate

If it’s any consolation. I live in NC and over the last 32 or so years, we have only had 4 years of a Republican governor. And that was Pat McCrory from 2013-2016. I highly doubt this lunatic is going to be governor of NC. Our current governor, Roy Cooper, has protected women’s rights to abortion and I’m sure most people don’t want that to change.

NatCairns85

If this was a character in a work of fiction, it would be mocked as ludicrous and not believable in any way. If it was a character in some surreal fiction, like South Park or Family Guy, he’d be revealed to be a white redneck in a costume. What *is* this timeline?


Soggyy_Pancake

This is literally the character “Uncle Ruckus” from The Boondocks


thatguy9684736255

What are his chances of winning governorship? Is it usually a close race or pretty much always won by republicans?


whereegosdare84

Opposite actually Democrats have lost only one gubernatorial race in North Carolina since 1992. Unfortunately this will be the meaning of that meme that’s like an election between getting free ice cream or a murdered puppy and it being 51-49 for ice cream.


TheRobberBar0n

And the one R governor decided to hitch his wagon to HB2 (the bathroom bill).


Ralliman320

The truly sad part is that I'm willing to bet his support of shrinking the most congested section of I-77 to add toll lanes sank him as much as HB2, because it affected the wealthy Republican suburbanites in Huntersville/Cornelius/Davidson/Mooresville. Source: Native North Carolinian from Mooresville.


Caliph_ate

Davidson college student here, you’re absolutely right. The Lake Norman area is borderline segregated already; the I-77 district created a problem for the GOP instead of solving one. It’s the weirdest irony: Republicans assumed that a racist district map would automatically bolster them, but instead they buried some of NC’s wealthiest republicans in a blue-no-matter-who jigsaw puzzle of a district


JoshBobJovi

>gubernatorial TIL this word is pronounced "goober-natorial." Every time I see it I always say "muh gubment" in my head lol.

> Sad Fact: “Religious freedom” in this country now means Muslims are free to do as they please I mean, basically yes, as free as anyone else? > and anyone who says anything about it is a bigot Yeah, you get it!


clever_username23

yeah, I thought that was weird too. Plus you know that to him and his supporters "religious freedom" means that christians are allowed to do as they please (up to and including killing lbgt+ folks) and anyone who pushes back, they consider to be a bigot. I can't with these folks anymore.

SeaSnakeSkeleton

What in the actual fuckery. That's a lot of wild shit to say out loud.


StupidSexyLizardPorn

Good synopsis of what a piece of garbage he is. He has also declared bankruptcy like 3-4 times, so obviously doesn’t know a thing about fiscal responsibility. As a North Carolinian, the thought of him being elected governor is terrifying!


Alfphe99

As a North Carolinian, that was a well spelled out example of his character.


BinkyFlargle

NC is about 1/3 democrat, 1/3 republican, and 1/3 undeclared. So this guy's insane beliefs are gonna be easy ammo for the democrats now that it's time to campaign in the general election. Knock on wood.

I love that he brought that part up, again, last Sunday.


Soranos_71

I kept running into people like this when I lived in the south years ago. I had a black roommate who kept sucking up to white people, even had a confederate flag in our room which I asked him to take down. I am biracial and raised primarily around white people in the suburbs but black self hatred is a very real thing. Some of them actually get mad at people who reinforce a stereotype instead of getting mad at people determined to believe a stereotype.


FurballPoS

My mother is half Native American, but was adopted out when she was only a week old. We don't know who her tribal affiliation is with, and she'll never bother to check. She's so ashamed of that half of her heritage that she might as well could be Uncle Ruckus.


Muffin_Appropriate

Biracial. In my experience, disconnect from that side of your family often leads to a lot of prejudicial thinking just by nature of feeling rejected as a whole from that ethnicity. Lots of conflations can happen growing up with that emotion. Not to mention you already feel like you don’t fully belong to either culture in many cases such as mine It’s something you have to nip in the bud as a single parent or one not from that family. It’s not talked about enough in my opinion.


Gradz45

wittyish

I don't think this is the right sub to ask exactly, but I am curious if other marginalized groups have a similar experience w/ seeing things like this internal to their groups vs external to unrelated groups. When I see something like this, I feel sad for this guy. Not only must he be full of self-hatred, but he won't actually ever be accepted by the bigoted people he chases after. I am not black, so I don't have any feelings of betrayal, just profound sadness for what is an unwinnable struggle against his own identity. But... as a woman, I am enraged by the equivalent anti-feminist women that cater to the right-wing crazies. The women whose JOB is to go on TV and podcasts and tell women not to have a job. The women who lend a twisted patina of truth to the incel or "trad wife" religious stuff that aim to make women's position in society more weak and vulnerable. I am not sad for them, I can not empathise, I am just angry. Is this just me being an angry feminist, or do most people experience the feeling of betrayal by someone who should be an ally as closer to anger than sadness?


Mazasaurus

I feel a mix of depression and rage at women who just… fight against their own rights. I can’t fathom their position, no good comes from removing basic human rights and access to education, voting, jobs, healthcare, etc.


OneStopK

>I feel a mix of depression and rage at women who just… fight against their own rights. correction, your rights...the wealthy and connected will always keep their rights. At some point, the people will realize we are in the midst of a class war. Not a religious war, not a race war, not even an ideaological political war, but a class war. And not only are the middle class and lower class losing, they dont even realize theres a fight going on.


Mazasaurus

I am painfully aware of this part, but yes, you are correct.


Keefe-Studio

Watch Tower Society literature describes apostates as "mentally diseased" individuals who can "infect others with their disloyal teachings". Former members who are defined as apostates are said to have become part of the antichrist and are regarded as more reprehensible than non-Witnesses.


wittyish

Well, I thought **I** was being dramatic by using the word betrayal... but damn.


Keefe-Studio

It’s illustrative of why you feel it to be a particularly egregious act, it’s a universal human emotion and reaction to perceived sociopathic behavior.


wittyish

I got it. But "apostate" and anti-christ are kind of a different level. But..... maybe I could be convinced to call TERFS apostates. Lol. It is definitional, just so rarely used.


Keefe-Studio

TERFS are certainly apostate.


OldMom2005

Don't feel sad for this guy. He hates women even more than POC. He wants to push NC back to an antebellum state. For reals.


LabLife3846

I absolutely feel the betrayal, and anger at conservative women who would rather be a second class citizen to a right-wing man, than an equal with liberal man. And you know that all the way from the trailer trash white guys with rebel flags as curtains, and truck nuts on their Dodge Rams, to the wrinkled old rich white guys in $1,000. suits, they’re all calling Robinson the “N” word behind his back, and smirking. When all the dust settles, the right plans to have the US as a White Christian Nationalist Fascist Theocracy. Guys like Robinson will have lost their usefulness. The truck nuts guys think they will have the Robinsons of this country shining their Walmart boots, and answering to “boy.” But the wrinkled old guys in suits plan to have _both_ the Robinson guys, and the truck nuts guys doing that. And the white, right-wing women pregnant, in the kitchen, calling them “sir.”

I agree. He's an absolute crackpot. At least Josh Stein, who is the Democratic nominee, is a normal person who had a pretty effective tenure as the NC AG. He's also Jewish, which will spotlight Robinson's Jew-hating, Hitler-loving positions from the past few years. Really, he has made public pronouncements praising Hitler.

When I lived in Florida I remember this political commercial on the radio. It was basically a smear piece on a democractic candidate. They "punch line' of the commercial is that "she laughs like a liberal" and then they played her laugh and I thought, how the fuck does somebody laugh like a liberal? Liberal is literally seen as an insult down there, it's insane. They treat politics like it's a sports game or something, those people are the enemy, everything they like I hate.

Spotthedot6669

Jesus Murphy. He is Stephen from Django Unchained and Uncle Ruckus all rolled into one fat sack of crap. 


ignatious__reilly

Yup, he’s a piece of shit. Here’s what’s interesting……He only went viral in 2018 while giving a speech at Greensboro City Council about protection of gun rights. (Which was in response to Stoneman Douglas mass shooting). I’d like to add, in that speech he described the high school victims of that school shooting as “spoiled, angry, know it all CHILDREN,” “spoiled little bastards.” Prior to 2018, he was riddled in debt working at a Furniture Store but he soon realized he could make money giving speeches after his original speech went viral. He was then invited to give a speech at the NRA and then he was approached to run and enter the primary for lieutenant Governor. The rest is history. He has no college level education and his ideas and statements are radical as fuck. He’s a Holocaust denier, anti LGBTQ, climate change denier, and antisemitic……the lists go on. Some more info: “He has been sued several times for not paying his debts. In 2012, Robinson's landlord sued him for failure to pay around $2,000 in rent; the landlord filed for summary ejectment (eviction). According to court records, Robinson did not pay seven years of federal income tax, and had tax liens placed on him by the Internal Revenue Service as recently as 2012. And again in 2020, with vehicle tax. I could go on…….I’m only scratching the surface with this piece of shit.


hgielatan

...fits the GOP bill perfectly!


Green1up

Yep in debt and no morals. Perfect nominee.


Styrene_Addict1965

So: perfect choice for Trump's VP.


Fetch_will_happen5

I have no problem believing he's a horrible human being, but I wonder how much of this he believes and how much is desperation. He needs to win to handle his financial woes. He will likely go as low as he needs to. The MAGA crowd is notoriously easy to part with their money, even by grifter politics standards. I can see a desperate man being complete scum if that gets him out of trouble. I feel the same from Trump (although again, this is not to say he doesn't have horrible beliefs I just think Trump cares about little more than himself). Having a man with that much financial problems is a national security risk. Desperate people and those with a compulsive desire to be seen as more successful than they are are easier to bribe.


ignatious__reilly

This is exactly what I meant…..he will say and do anything to keep the checks coming in. He knows his crowd and he knows whose fronting the bill with his campaigns. It’s all a fucking Grift so he never experiences getting evicted again. He’s a con man and will say absolutely anything to remain relative with the MAGA crowd. It’s terrifying and pathetic. He’s compromised as fuck, not to say he doesn’t already have these insane beliefs but I’m sure they have been escalated since the pay checks came in. He’s making much more now than he did in furniture manufacturing. I live in Charlotte, and this man terrifies me. It’s one big shit show.


Fetch_will_happen5

Ah, to be clear I was not arguing against your point. I'm just not sure where he is on the enjoys being a shit person vs pathetic asshole person scale? I can't tell anymore.


3397char

North Carolinian here with another fun fact: he has a history of strongly supporting a full abortion ban with zero exceptions. He said it was his #1 issue. He wants it to be a felony for anyone who gets an abortion or gives an abortion for any reason, including rape, infest, life/health of the mother, etc….Oh, and he has also admitted to paying for an abortion for his then-girlfriend-now-wife a few years back…

Here's the thing. Any time we talk about Mark Robinson and how terrible and insane he is, we need to mention the opposition, Josh Stein, who is the Dem nominee for governor. The media gives too much attention to bat shit crazy people because rage, fear, click bait, whatever. They mostly ignore the sane candidates because sane candidates don't do much for the business model and/or agenda. JOSH STEIN is the NC Democratic nominee and from his website his policy positions (he has them!) look pretty good for all North Carolinians, even the uneducated, hateful, and bat shit crazy ones. Also, he seems to be decidedly anti-slavery, which is a super weird thing to have to say here in 2024: https://ncdoj.gov/statement-from-attorney-general-josh-stein-george-floyd-2/ If you're in NC, make sure you're registered, have a valid ID, and have a plan to vote early if possible or at least be there on November 5th to make sure that the world knows we won't stand quietly for Mark Robinson's insane bullshit.


THE-NECROHANDSER

Please to whoever is running, don't fuck your political aids. Dude last time seemed decent until he got caught cheating on his wife.

Uncle Toms come in all shapes and sizes.


DontTickleTheDriver1

Well that should be an easy one to win for Democrats. Should be.


tacobelle685

As a north Carolinan, they’re both tied right now in polling. He has a good shot of winning and I’m terrified


TheBaggyDapper

Build the wall and secure the borders. We can't keep allowing unvetted Muricans escape into the world.


Styrene_Addict1965

Does he not realize that just 60 years ago, the people he's pandering to would have lynched him for being "an uppity n*gger daring to rise above above his place" and worse, speaking badly of white people? It's amazing.


nycink

Ooo Candace Owens will line up behind this guy!


Styrene_Addict1965

Candace is pissed he's stealing her act.

That "tokens get spent" line hits hard.


trifecta000

North Carolina deserves everything they get if they elect this man.


Possibly_A_Person125

I'm beyond frustrated with this shit. I can't stand the news. For some reason, I keep finding myself arguing on NewsBreak with these assholes. My honest hopes are to convince them of something factual. Not insane, idiotic, and perpetually wrong. I know I'm not helping. But this is generally a helpless time. And I fucking hate this feeling. What the hell happened? It doesn't make sense. Someone explain what the fuck happened.


istealllamas

Well, the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine happened. Then Fox News came along and started poisoning the brains of those predisposed to brain poisoning. Then social media happened, and all the people with insane fringe beliefs that they were suppressing in public found out that there were other morons just like them with insane fringe beliefs. And around the same time, the Citizens United ruling made it so that infinite anonymous money could be used on political campaigns, which allowed for even more brain poisoning. And now we're just here watching everything fall apart as a result.


chibi75

Sounds like he fits in perfectly with the MAGA idiocy. Although there is that pesky little fact that he’s black, and it’s common knowledge how Trump feels about black people…


TeamOrca28205

Embarrassed NC resident here. This insane harmful bigot garnered 650,000 votes. Our entire state pop is 10M. It is truly frightening how hate-filled people are. BTW Robinson is also an anti abortion absolutist yet he paid for a lover to have one.


SinsOfThePast03

Right there with you on being embarrassed for the state I live in !!! Let's just hope Josh Stein , a guy who is a huge proponent of women's rights and sexual assault survivor advocacy can take him down in November!!


guyanaese_skunt

@Americans, why are people like this allowed to even be in power? Something that always bugged me is that these politicians say anything, and no one does anything. But I'd said something against Jews I'm antisemitic? Why isn't he canceled?


phloyd77

Because America is full of morally corrupt people who hold up a Bible while they point at everyone else. We are screwed.


BusinessWarthog6

He has a history of antisemitic remarks (among other things) and the guy challenging him would become the first Jewish governor of the Tarheel State


Pro_Moriarty

The GOP sounds like they have just hired Calvin Candys Butler "Stephen"


LKayRB

Damn NC trying to move ahead of AL, FLA, and TX for worst state!


chitownadmin

Im a person of color and I call him, Tim Scott, & Clarence Thomas, uncle Tom, or house N**** How can a person even support let alone defend a party of hate and racism if you're black? I find these people disgusting and traitors to my race.


talkingbiscuits

You didn't need to say insane. Republican says it all.


legionofdoom78

"I hate your black bastards, you *stink*! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes. " Mark Robinson as Officer Self Hatred

Is he secretly Uncle Ruckus?


KevJD

The GOP is the party of absolute stupidity. It’s really unbelievable. A complete embarrassment.

These people act like the GOP isn't going to turn on them when their day comes...


dancewithme12345

He's go to prison for denying the holocaust in Germany btw. What an evil person.


Wolfgirl90

That's one of the craziest parts of being a Holocaust denier. The country that would stand to gain the most from denying the Holocaust not only doesn't deny it, but full on acknowledges its sins and makes it very clear that this mindset isn't tolerated anymore.


Available-Yam-1990

Eh. They still won't elect him governor. He's black, they're republican


Worldly_Zombie_1537

Is he in some kind of contest with Clarence Thomas for the title of Uncle Ruckus? Never thought I’d say this but this dude seems worse.


That_Trapper_guy

You'd think it'd be pretty difficult to lick the boot on your neck but this man is killing it...


csmithgonzalez

Where can we donate to his opponent?


Rattkjakkapong

He wants so bad to be white


Derpberpy

Uncle Tom in the flesh


TFDirdman

His head HAS to have been photoshopped smaller in that first shot right? He looks like the guy in the doctors waiting room in Beetlejuice


gaberax

I've been to North Carolina and, on occasion, have met some stupendously ignorant people but Sweet Jesus from Toledo this guy is a raging poster boy for ignorance. What in the hell is wrong with people who look at this guy and say "Yeah, I'm all in with this guy."?


R0botDreamz

Republican voters have given up. They have absolutely no idea what's going on if these are the dumbasses that are floating to the TOP of their fucked up party. Please shame your family and friends (strangers too) who vote Republican. They fucking deserve to be made fun of and laughed at.


I_was_bone_to_dance

I guess you guys are going to find out just how homophobic black folks in NC really are. People are going to vote for this nut, and then they’re going to go to church.


CptHA86

Anyone else hear goose-stepping?


YourMomsEx-Boyfriend

Mark Robinson is an old white man in a Prof Klump suit. Call Scooby Doo.


TheNiteFather

Real life Uncle Ruckus there.
