An array of North Carolina Jewish figures and the Republican Jewish Coalition have called on North Carolina’s lieutenant governor to apologize for past comments about Jewish control.
Jewish Insider on Friday quoted a number of Jewish officials who were appalled by Mark Keith Robinson’s comments on Jews and their influence. Robinson, a Republican, has said he will not apologize for things he said before he became an elected official.
“His refusal to apologize is troubling and unacceptable to us,” said Matt Brooks, the director of the Republican Jewish Coalition. “These kinds of comments have no place in our society.”
Typical of the reactions of North Carolina’s Jews was Rabbi Lucy Dinner of Temple Beth Or in Raleigh. “I believe that Mark Robinson’s election in North Carolina is, as we would say in Yiddish, a shanda,” meaning a disgrace, she told Jewish Insider.
Among Robinson’s offenses was an attack in 2018 on the creators of the Black Panther character, after a movie about the Marvel Comics superhero came out.
“It is absolutely AMAZING to me that people who know so little about their true history and REFUSE to acknowledge the pure sorry state of their current condition can get so excited about a fictional ‘hero’ created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic marxist,” said Robinson, who is African American, in a Facebook post.
“How can this trash, that was only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets, invoke any pride?” he added, invoking a Yiddish pejorative for African Americans. “Shekels,” the name of the Israeli currency, is often used in anti-Semitic literature.
In October, the Raleigh News & Observer found a conversation that Robinson had in 2019 with a fringe religious leader named Sean Moon. In the interview, Moon invokes anti-Semitic tropes about the Rothschild family, and Robinson says “That’s exactly right.”
Black Panther was created in the 1960s by two Jewish comic book creators, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The 2018 film was directed by Ryan Coogler, a Black filmmaker who is involved in social justice causes.
The state and national Republican parties have so far been silent about Robinson. Robinson has become a hero on the right for his unapologetic stand in taking on the left in culture wars. The conservative Washington Free Beacon recently ran a flattering profile entitled “North Carolina’s First Black Lt. Gov. Leads Fight Against Radical Curriculum.”
Louis FarraKKKlan, Al Sharpton and others of that ilk has made insinuations about the Rothschilds and the Jewish banking conspiracy (I wish there was such a thing, OY VAY, I would be so lucky🤔😖) and they have yet to be seriously called to task. If it weren't for double standards the left would have none at all.
Hmm. Looks like we have a pissing contest between a Jew and a black. Sorry Jews. But blacks trump Jewishness.
Really the actual reason this is becoming an issue? Because Robinson is a Republican.
Democrats get away with insulting Jews far more severely.

Do these idiots make up stuff like this on the fly? Do they have to take advance courses in college on how to be offended?
Left wing Jews use Antisemitism as a shield and gurgle, while they try fo destroy Christianity in this country. REv.3:9.
I think the explicit truth of his statement hit a perpetually raw nerve!
Socialism is what left wing Jews use in place of the Torah.
People who claim to be offended the most are usually the most offensive.
These Republicans are most likely part of the GOPe. The Lt, Gov. being black, Republican and popular means he must be destroyed for being a White Supremacist. He should turn it around on them. Call them racist. Let’s see if they fold.
I approve of Lt. Gov Robinson., no one wants to discuss the issue, just the perception of his words. He is a treasure to speak the truth.
Can’t imagine why anyone would be upset over this. Sounds like a line from a Mel Brooks movie. LOL.
“But blacks trump Jewishness.”
Republican trumps everything.
It was a bad statement...he was pointing out the hypocrisy of the BLM movement, most of which is dominated by whites, both Jewish and non-Jewish (but all of them either Marxists or opportunists manipulating the black power myth for their own personal gain). However, it does come across as anti-Semitic. It would have been better if he had simply said “white”.
He should apologize, say he was misunderstood and explain how he meant it...and then defend the meaning of his statement, which is that blacks are being manipulated by this faux history created by whites for their personal gain.
“They darker than us! Woof!”
IMHO Robinson is correct about not apologizing for comments made before becoming an elected official. The time to hold him accountable for those words was during the primaries. If it were known that he spoke them and was elected anyway, this is a nothing-burger.
Robinson should tell his accusers to pi$$ up a rope.
But where’s the lie?
“Is the outrage because of perceived anti-Jewish remarks or is it because the perpetually offended class are triggered by Lt Gov Robinson committing the unpardonable sin of trashing Black Panther and dissing SJW stooge Ryan Coogler?”
Yes
He should take back these remarks. They were themselves shameful, regardless of what Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton have said and done.
"Schvartze" or "Schwarze" in standard German is not a pejorative. It just means "black."
“Keep you enemies close and your friends closer’’. Trump biggest enemies were and are Establishment RINOs.
“Skin soo thin...”
