Republican Mark Robinson Says Black people Owe Reparations - Illinois School Segregates Math Classes For Black and Latino Students | S7E11
In this week's episode we discuss how current Lt. Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, believes that Black people in America are the real ones that owe reparations. What would make a Black politician got that far? Also, we tackle the recent back tracking of an Illinois HS to segregate math classes by race. Why were those students that identified as Black, or Latin X placed in separate classes? And we get a Black Box letter asking, does losing weight take a toll on a relationship? We discuss all that and much more.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson
Meet Mark Robinson a Republican running for governor in North Carolina who thinks Black people should be paying reparations. It’s bizarre even for the bizarre modern GOP, but here we are. Robinson, 54, is North Carolina’s lieutenant governor, and he seems like a lefty’s caricature of a modern right wing politician. He’s what we would dream up to make fun of the right.
He thinks Covid wasn’t a real threat, systemic racism doesn’t exist and the movie, “Black Panther,” was, buckle up, “created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic Marxists.” The right loves to say the left is filled with Marxists. It’s a weird obsession. Robinson also said President Obama was “a worthless, anti-American atheist who wanted to bring America to its knees and then raise it back to its feet as a European style socialist hell hole.” He also called Michelle Obama “a man.” So, yeah, he’s another Black Republican who’s willing to say racist things. He’s like a grimier version of Candace Owens. And he could be North Carolina’s next governor.
Segregation By Race In Illinois
An Illinois high school has reversed course after it appeared to restrict access to certain Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus courses to Black and Latinx students only.
Highlighted in a Monday report by Newsweek, the controversial matter stems from screenshots an individual shared to Twitter that revealed multiple Evanston Township High School's (ETHS) AP Calculus AB course descriptions that featured identical language barring certain races from taking the course.
A screenshot of the course descriptions for multiple versions of the AP Calculus AB class, according to the report, "were identical save for the last line and the registration code at the top of the course description."
"This code for the course is restricted to students who identify as Black, all genders," one description stated. The other noted the course was only for students who identify as "Latinx, all genders."
