Martin Luther King III Responds to Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's Alleged Comments About His Father

ROCKY MOUNT, North Carolina (WTVD) — The son of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., Martin Luther King III stopped in North Carolina to speak to voters ahead of the November election.

He and his wife Andrea Waters King spent Saturday morning at a breakfast and vote event in Rocky Mount to educate voters.

ABC11 spoke with King and asked him about the allegations reported in the CNN article that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson had to say about his father.

“Mark Robinson’s rhetoric is beyond dangerous,” he said. “In fact, it seems somewhat insane. And it’s very difficult to understand how North Carolina has allowed this kind of leadership to emerge because he’s lieutenant governor.”

On Thursday, CNN alleged that Robinson — under a username he frequently used online — made several inflammatory comments on a forum for a pornography website more than a decade ago, including one in which he allegedly referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and another in which he allegedly wrote that slavery wasn’t so bad.

ABC News has not confirmed this information or the online username allegedly linked to Robinson.

CNN reported that the comments were made by Robinson between 2008 and 2012 under the username “minisoldr” on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic website that includes a discussion forum.
