Stuart Sutton, 45, of Broadway, Hindley, faces five charges that, between March and November 2021 he "distributed written material which was threatening, abusive or insulting intending to stir up racial hatred or, having regard to all the circumstances, racial hatred was likely to be stirred up."
He is being prosecuted under the 1986 Public Order Act.
Borough magistrates sent him for trial at Bolton Crown Court, releasing him on unconditional bail pending his first appearance there on December 21.
