North Carolina's first black lieutenant governor said Democrats are trying to 'control' African-American people and seek to destroy those who do not agree with their woke ideology.
In an interview with FOX News' Dan Bongino on Saturday, Republican lawmaker Mark Robinson said Democrats' 'ideology of control' towards black people 'has not changed' over the course of American history.
'If you look back through the history of America, Democrats have notoriously despised black people who just don't go along,' and 'push back against stereotypes and all ideologies that are dangerous to them,' Robinson said.
'It has always been an ideology of control,' he continued. 'And when they cannot control you, when they cannot control your thought, they will hate you and they will try to destroy you.
'It's been done to me in several venues since I started this venture,' he noted, 'and it's nothing new.'
Robinson went on to speak about a controversial speech he gave at a Charlotte-area church in May, in which he was accused of misogyny for saying Christians are 'called to be led by men' and said he stood up like a man whenever he faced adversity for being a black man.

'But those comments I made in that black church — the mass media refuses to air those.'
'Why? Because I was speaking to black people, and black people agreed overwhelmingly, and that ideology they cannot tolerate.
'They don't want to see black people push against their narratives,' Robinson said of the mainstream media. 'In that situation, that's what happened.'

During his speech on May 22 at the Freedom House Church, Robinson said Christians are 'called to be led by men' and urged men in the audience to 'put on the whole armor of God' and 'take the head of your enemy in God's name.'
He also said that as a Christian and as a black man, he is tired of being told how to act, before he slumped his shoulders and caricatured the Civil Rights hymn We Shall Overcome, saying: 'Not one time in my life when I faced adversity did I say, "You know, I shall overcome."
'My God tells me that when I face adversity that number one, I am to stand up like a man! M-A-N'
