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.”

and this is why nowadays I use different usernames on EVERY website I register on unless I use my real name anyway and want the things I do there to be associated with me

Do you talk a lot about being a black Nazi into spying on women in public showers?

Yeah, this is the funny thing; in some bizarre future where I run in politics, and someone does discover the weird stuff I've said in NSFW channels, I'd be like; "Yes, this is embarrassing, but still isn't a big mark on my character."

There's a big gap between being into weird stuff that's basically harmless, and actively enjoying the genuine denigrating/harm of others.

No but there might still be something in my comment history that someone could use against me.

*I* heard this candidate likes to use a blanket to roll schnoodles into burritos... You simply cannot vote for them!
