Sorry @cjaysykes, but the Republicans (the party you supported for most of your life) have been darkening the faces of African American Democratic political candidates for years: Barrack Obama, Harvey Gantt, John Lewis, and Douglas Wilder to name a few.
This is not new. It is a tried-and-true tactic of the Republicans since Nixon’s Southe…

This is not new. It is a tried-and-true tactic of the Republicans since Nixon’s Southern Strategy. The fact that you are “shocked, shocked to find that [the Rs are darkening the skin tone of Black Democratic candidates]” is a little disingenuous.
[Edited for verb tense, spelling of “Nixon”, and completion of the last sentence.]
I don't think Charlie did not know about this. It is just something happening in his back yard and at this point. Should we not have moved past all this (i say this in rhetoric of course)? You see my fellow countrymen of MAGA Republics. When you darken the face of your opponent. You are symbolizing that race is important and that yo believe being darker is a stigma. Therefore, you are a racist. The same could be said when a black person calls another black person (light skinned), they are in a way being racist as well. However, the black person calling another black person (light skinned) does not truly believe that they should be subjugated to second class citizenship due to their color. Since you darken the image of your opponent. You are literally stating that they are not suited for power because of their darkness. This makes you a bigot.
