Mark Robinson's remarks reflect a controversial perspective that suggests Black Americans thrived during Jim Crow by relying on themselves, marking a troubling revisionist view of racial history.
Robinson said, "When the times were the toughest, that’s when they were highest. And why? Because they knew they had to rely on themselves." This statement attempts to frame a painful historical period in a positively skewed light.
The resurfaced comments, especially with the addition of his alias posts, show a troubling pattern in Robinson's public discourse, including derogatory references to prominent Black figures.
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Robinson, referring to him as "Martin Luther King on steroids," highlighting his unorthodox appeal within the Republican Party despite the backlash the lieutenant governor faces.
