The Republican candidate also attacked Martin Luther King Jr., calling the civil rights icon “worse than a maggot.”

Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.

The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

You should link to the actual source this article is pulling everything from: https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/19/politics/kfile-mark-robinson-black-nazi-pro-slavery-porn-forum/index.html

On another note, I have never seen so many receipts on one guy, lol, damn.

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography

Good enough to be porn, not good enough for rights.

And they said I wouldn't be a real woman...

Maybe that's why they keep insisting being trans is a sexual thing-- they can't stop thinking of porn

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sort of like how they keep talking about how they don't want "the gay agenda" to be "forced down my throat."

On the Nude Africa website in both comments and his profile, minisoldr offered numerous details that align precisely with Robinson’s personal history.

In his profile, minisoldr listed his full name as “mark robinson” and disclosed a private email address Robinson used elsewhere online. In 2012, a user responded to a comment by calling minisoldr “Mark.”

Minisoldr mentioned in 2008 being married for 18 years, which corresponds with Robinson’s marriage to Yolanda Hill in 1990. In 2011, minisoldr wrote he had been married 21 years. Minisoldr wrote in a 2011 post that he lived in Greensboro, North Carolina, the same town where Robinson lived at the time and currently lives.

In a post in 2012, minisoldr said he served in the Army in the 1980s, during the same time period as Robinson. In his sexually graphic comments detailing watching women in the showers in 2011, minisoldr wrote that his mother worked at an Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Robinson’s mother worked as a custodian at North Carolina A&T State University, an HBCU located in Greensboro.

Both minisoldr and Robinson often posted about the same topics online, including reviews for remote-controlled helicopters, their attraction to specific celebrities and their favorite “Twilight Zone” episode.

The email address associated with minisoldr on Nude Africa was also used by Robinson elsewhere online and social media. On the commenting platform Disqus, a user who joined in April 2011 features Mark Robinson’s photo under the username minisoldr.

Usernames and email addresses from Disqus were publicly leaked online in 2017, according to the company. CNN confirmed that Robinson’s username minisoldr on Disqus shared the same email address as the one used on Nude Africa.

Robinson’s Disqus page is also linked to the Black social networking site Black Planet. The Web Archive shows a user named “minisoldr” described themselves as 40 years old in February 2009 – the same age as Robinson at the time – and living in Greensboro, North Carolina – Robinson’s hometown.

Oof. And it keeps going

This dude goes shopping at CVS and says "not enough receipts".

This is really great reporting too. I just watched the video confrontation between the reporter and Robinson and it was incredible. Robinson made a weak excuse about AI but the reporter gave no quarter and had so many facts on recall.

It was the most satisfying thing I've watched on TV since Vice President Kamala Harris told Donald Trump directly to his, well, ear, that Putin would "eat you for lunch" while he stared dead ahead, unable to even look her in the eye.

Strongmen usually aren't, and it's nice to see that deftly demonstrated every once in a while.

Trump? Ghouliani. Two+ dozen people who’ve worked for both.

Seriously— yes you have. This is kinda the MAGA MO

Yeah no, most politicians, regardless of wing, do not spend inordinate amounts of time, over years and years, on various forums on the Internet, all using the same username, and all dropping a fuckton of information in their posts that traces inarguably back to them irl.

Hell, considering their average age and PC savvy, I'd bet most of them have never posted on a forum AT ALL.

P.S. Oh, just noticed "Ghouliani", you're one of those people, lol. I don't know how you guys can even write stuff like that without your fingers seizing up from embarrassment. Lack of self-awareness, I guess.
