Degenerate Politicians: Mark Robinson the Black Nazi Porn Addict
Mark Robinson, a current candidate for the governorship of North Carolina, is an emblem of everything wrong with modern politics. Robinson, who has been embroiled in multiple scandals—including one involving his addiction to pornography—is a prime example of how degenerate politicians continue to rise through the ranks, propelled by a system that rewards toxicity, sexism, and deeply entrenched misogyny. As he approaches the position of potentially governing a state of over 10 million people, it becomes clear that the men in power who promote and elevate individuals like Robinson are complicit in perpetuating these systemic issues.
Who is Mark Robinson?
Mark Robinson, who currently serves as North Carolina’s lieutenant governor, has made headlines for a slew of offensive and harmful statements. From spreading homophobic and anti-Semitic rhetoric to denigrating women, Robinson’s political career has been filled with controversy. His open addiction to pornography adds another layer to the depravity of his character. In any other profession, such admissions would likely end a career, but not in politics.
This is a man who advocated on the basis of faith and family while spewing hateful and dangerous ideologies that mirror those of extremist white nationalist movements. It’s hard to miss the irony when Robinson refers to himself as a “Black Nazi”—a term used to highlight his disturbing alignment with far-right ideals despite his racial background.
Male Politicians and Other Men: The Same Depravity
Mark Robinson’s rise in politics is not an isolated incident, but a reflection of men in positions of power across all levels of government. Robinson did not climb to his current position on his own—other men have promoted, supported, and accepted his abhorrent behavior. His candidacy for governor is the product of a system where toxic masculinity, sexism, and abuse of power are normalized. Political men in the highest offices are no different from other men in society, often concealing or downplaying their worst impulses to maintain power and control.
Robinson’s disgusting personal habits and offensive political beliefs aren’t outliers. Time and again, it’s been revealed that politicians are often pedophiles, abusers, or rapists. Men in political spheres frequently work together to cover for one another’s crimes, ensuring that the cycle of abuse and misogyny continues unchecked. When one man falls, another rises, usually with the same or worse intentions toward women and marginalized communities.
The Need for Female Leadership
Mark Robinson’s campaign has been on the downfall since CNN’s reveal. However, it’s appalling that he made it this far in politics, and that so many citizens of North Carolina still support his run for governor. It’s important to remember that this isn’t just an issue for one state in America—it’s a global one. Men in political spheres across the world display the same disgusting behavior and yet are rarely held accountable. Society continues to prop up men who destroy women’s lives, whether through legislation, abuse, or their personal behaviors.
What’s the solution? We need more women in leadership roles, starting with female governors and political leaders who understand the necessity of protecting women’s rights, addressing systemic abuses, and leading with empathy, integrity, and strength. Women are far less likely to engage in the predatory, abusive, and degenerate behavior that we see over and over again from male politicians like Mark Robinson.
The people of North Carolina—and the world—deserve better. They deserve leaders who are truly invested in the well-being of their communities, not men who abuse their power and prey on those who are most vulnerable. It’s time to demand real change, we must vote and elect women. ♀
