Sen. Lindsey Graham’s campaign posted a Facebook ad last week featuring an image of his Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison — who is Black — with a digitally darkened skin tone.

The image, which was originally published in the New York Times, relocates Harrison from a brightly-lit professional background to a dark background that is nondescript. Harrison, whose skin is noticeably darker, is juxtaposed with comedian Kathy Griffin, who is white and has red hair. Another more faint image of Harrison floats above her head.

“Hollywood continues to bankroll my opponent, raising tens of thousands in campaign cash to attack me, but they fail to understand this simple fact: South Carolinians won’t stand for Radical Leftists telling them how to think and how to vote,” the Facebook post’s caption reads. “Are you with me?”


Not only is the image of Harrison darkened but it is on a darker background juxtaposed with the very white Kathy Griffin.
Very subtle Lindsey!

Seems that Lindsey is using updated racist tricks long practiced by southern politicians of promoting fear of black rape of white women.

3. Since skin tone manipulation is being used as a subliminal scare tactic

just wondering how our Lindsey might appear with subtle bits of blush, lip gloss, and eye liner? Deliberate use of typecast images is a cheap shot of the worst order, although those that choose to employ them might eventually be surprised to get a taste of their own medicine.
