The ghost of Ronald Reagan told him to.
“I have more respect for loyal DOGS than I do for PEOPLE who don’t take care of their children,” Robinson wrote on his Facebook page in 2014. The post contained the hashtag “#haveyourdeadbeatsspayedandneutered”.
Fucked up thing to say but I can see a lot of those, "Dogs are better than ppl", "We don't deserve dogs" ppl saying this.
Yeah. If one of my friends said this, without the link and all the other bigoted garbage, I’d agree.
If you agree that forced sterilization of ppl is ok (something racists are famous for saying/doing) regardless of reasoning you're as big an asshole as the racists.
That’s true. It’s also not what I said.
“I have more respect for loyal DOGS than I do for PEOPLE who don’t take care of their children," in the vacuum they're describing, could be interpreted as having a lot of respect for dogs and little respect for abusive parents, which are not asshole takes.
Thank you for understanding my point.
I would also be asking where this came from. Seems like your typical "who asked?" facebook stuff.
“I said this once and I’m saying it again; A weak minded, muddle headed negro, ALWAYS thinks he and “his people” are victims.”
“I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!”
“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it [slavery] back. I would certainly buy a few,”
“I’d take Hitler over any of the shit that’s in Washington right now!”
In 2021, he referred 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”.
What on Earth is wrong with this man? He needs some heavy-duty therapy. But also, how the hell does someone like this get elected to public office?
On top of all that he’s also, unsurprisingly, a disingenuous hypocrite:
“I like watching [transgender slur] on girl porn! That’s fucking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson wrote in one comment verified by the outlet. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”
As extra context, the current governor, Roy Cooper, dropped out as a VP contender for Kamala because he was worried that this dipshit would seize power if he left the state.
I would certainly buy a few,”
He thinks he would be immune LMFAO
He seems to have failed to understand at least one very basic thing about how slavery historically worked.
If I quote this speech, it will probably get auto deleted.
He would view himself as one of the "House" variety.
I would love to see someone say straight to his face “I’d buy you” “you can’t” “why not? You’re black” and watch him try to reconcile that. Idiot
Holy shit what
He internalized systemic and overt racism. He is the real world Uncle Ruckus.
how the hell does someone like this get elected to public office?
have you seen pretty much the entire GOP?
