Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.
I was just driving behind a North Carolina plate the other day. Apparently their plates read “First in Freedom”. Seems like they’ve lost sight of things.
“First in Flight” was the original (because the Wright brothers’ first flight was in NC), then they added “First in Freedom”. It’s because NC was the first state to write/sign a Declaration of Independence from England, over a year before the Declaration of Independence.
But it was a fucking slave state. I’ve always thought the “First in Freedom” license plate was insulting.
Also, Mark Robinson is insane and a horrible person. Obviously.
Which is wrong anyway, the Wright brothers were born, raised, and died in Ohio, had their bicycle shop in Ohio, designed/built the first airplane in Ohio, and only took it to Kitty Hawk in NC for test flights.
Speaking as an Ohioan, NC can go fly a kite with that “first in flight” nonsense.

That’s one you can choose. I’ve always stuck with the classic First in Flight. Way too many In God We Trust driving around though

That should not even be legal, IMHO. Why is the state involved in religious nonsense?
