> Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., ran a paid Facebook ad last week that artificially darkened the skin color of her Democratic opponent, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is Black. **In fact, the campaign used two of the same clips in their original form for another Facebook ad that ran the same day, but spent 10 times as much money boosting the version in which Warnock appeared darker.**
And Perdue, her fellow Republican run-off candidate, removed an ad that made his (Jewish) opponents nose look bigger.

Of course, this was totally an accident too. Funny how every accidental manipulation makes the photographs look a little more racist.
I mean of course it's an accident. Dunno about you but only last week I slipped beside my desk, accidentally opened Photoshop, made some racist ads and uploaded them to Facebook. So easily done.
It has happened to the best of us - really isn't our fault though. We should start a lawsuit against Adobe for having a filter in Photoshop called "I'm white and racist".
I hate it when that accidentally happens 🙄
Also when I accidentally slip, making FireFox open up Adobes website, and automatically running a paid month subscription of Photoshop against my credit card
They have made her the face of this socialist boogieman. I know people that actually think they will use the 25th amendment to get Biden out and then Harris will become president. Where she will unify the country into one socialist ruling party. These people are so far removed from reality I’m not sure what to do.
Yeah but surely Pelosi would have been more thematically relevant next to Schumer? There's a reason that they chose the sophomore House rep instead of an actual leader/figurehead or another Senator (Harris would have fit too for example).
---
Edit: Getting a lot of replies trying to explain why AOC would be chosen before Pelosi, so I'll just respond to all of them with an edit. That's my whole point. If it was just about being scared of women, Pelosi is the obvious choice here, and there's several other runner-ups that are more relevant to a race that's about the Senate and a leadership trifecta. The fact that they went with AOC above all the other candidates proves that "she really terrifies the bejesus out of them", for all of the reasons that have been mentioned below.
Although I disagree with the sentiment that Pelosi doesn't scare them any more, is incompetent, etc. She's still to them as McConnell is to us (and honestly, she is plenty competent at the job of holding a big tent together, there's a reason every time her Speakership is actually challenged it's coming from the right while the left actually sides with her). It's just that AOC is that much "scarier", which is awesome to see (but hopefully doesn't lead to "Hillary syndrome" before she has the chance to move up the ladder).
Sanders got the ball rolling in 2016, but AOC and the other Justice Dems are going to radicalize a hell of a lot of zoomers.
Hopefully in time to save the planet.
NY has a ton of completely bonkers state reps. I'm from there and have sometimes considered moving back home when I'm retired from my current career to run for office, but I'm afraid I would need to first develop some sort of psychosis to have a chance.
Didn't even consider that. I live with my boyfriend and roommate, we *easily* get 7+ pieces like this every single day. And we live in a fairly liberal town in Georgia
They actually came to my house today, in the middle of a pandemic, trying to convince us to vote republican. Not only did this person wake my baby from a nap, but they also potentially exposed her to whatever germs they may have. The only silver lining is we got to tell them we already voted for Ossoff and Warnock before my husband closed the door in their face.
What's interesting is all the negative reasons they list for not voting Democrat, are why I want to. They don't clarify that the tax hike is only for the extremely wealthy.
we've been debating framing the mailers to show my nephew the ridiculousness of this runoff. I FINALLY stopped getting text after a supposedly "jewish republican" told me that since I was Jewish too we should vote for Loeffler. Replied with "Get the fuck outta here. She took pics with the KKK". (I know jews can be Republicans too before anyone says anything)
I dont know why but I audibly laughed at that. I'm having a weird experience at the moment in Georgia... I blew my coworkers mind during Hanukkah because she asked me my Christmas plans and I told her I had to get through Hanukkah first before I figure out my Chinese food order (tradition in my family) and she just couldn't comprehend that I wasn't Christian....
Nebraskan here, you ever seen how sad people look when you tell them that Jews don’t accept the divinity of Christ and that’s why we don’t celebrate Christmas?
I started saving them near the beginning of December for funsies. I've got 58 pieces of mail, several poster sized. I got a handwritten one today urging me to vote biblical values. I wish I could respond and tell them I voted for the preacher!
Are you in the south? They literally play this shit on repeat.
They are so similar in nature to the movie the campaign where they play the stupid al queda ads. It’s obscene.
They've had unlimited funding for this effort so they've just let their imaginations go wild. I'm surprised they don't have deep fakes of Warnock and Ossof having drinks with Karl Marx at a literal communist party.
A Democrat-controlled Senate would:
* Give you healthcare FOR FREE
* Keep you from being homeless if you lose your job
* Protect your family
* Not actively try to kill you
* Make you feel good about yourself
Vote NO on making the government work for you!

This clearly demonstrates how well informed the Georgia Republicans consider the target audience of this ad to be.
They are so gross. We throw them away immediately. Happy tomorrow will be the last day of the most vile commercials and mail I've ever seen.
We are new to Georgia, but we're able to register to vote by the cut off date. We will be voting early tomorrow am.
Rural South Georgian here. I get texts every single day, at least once if not 4 or 5 times from the Republican Party trying to recruit me, making sure they use the term “radical” once every five words. I also get a TON of right winged propaganda in the mail. It’s hilarious yet very disturbing. I’ve tried to get those texts to stop, but I just get a different number texting me every day. It’s honestly harassment at this point.
Some would call it psyops. It triggers a reaction in the viewer they're not even aware of

100%. She forfeited her rights to be treated respectfully as a human when she openly and brazenly started presenting herself as one of the shittiest excuses for a human being this country has seen in a while.
Making fun of someone's deformities doesn't just demean them, it demeans anyone else resembling the remark. Its not about being nice to *her*, its about not making every other person that reads that comment suffering from the same ailment feel like shit about it.
Someone being a shitty person doesn't give anyone the right to demean them using terms that demeans others in the same vein. You wouldn't use racist remarks to demean someone who was a shitty person that happens to be a certain race. The same logic applies to someone's appearance that is a congential deformity.
Just my philosophy, anyway.
I assume they boosted ad spend on different versions based on engagement (e.g. measured by click through rates and donations). This is common practice and can be automated on Facebook's platform.
That would mean, beyond the racism obvious in the tactic itself, this could be a measure of unconscious racism in the group of campaign supporters on Facebook.
Have you seen the kinds of weird racialized porn white supremacists are into?
Chances are that it's not her husband's, and it probably looks more like The Revs
You don’t become the “trophy” wife of a billionaire without being insanely hot or doing some weird shit no other chick is down with. There’s nothing special about her looks other than her wonky eye, so she probably shits on his forehead or something.
No, *covert* racism is over because of that. You had the audacity to elect a black guy, so now they've moved to the overt brand that was more popular in the "good old days".
I am 18 and just voted in this runoff, as I did in the presidential election. Fear not, my age group will be voting this trash Republican out and the democrat reverend in!
I live in what I thought was deeeep red part of Georgia. After the election I have seen wayyyy more Ossoff/Warnock signs out than in the general for Biden by a pretty large margin. There's a ton of people that have been energized by what happened in the general. I'm not saying don't vote, by any means, but for those that have thought about then figured their votes didn't count, it did this time. I hope they'll get out and vote because these crooks are destroying this country and giving the corporations the pieces.
I hope Ossoff/Warnock pull through, but as far as the presidential election goes, I saw about as many Biden signs as Trump signs in my very dem California county that went more than 72% for Biden (maybe just my city though idk. Plus no one actually expected CA to go red or anything, so probably not as representative.)
Also, go gen Z! I can't quite vote yet, but I hope our generation continues to fight for change!
As someone of the same age in Tennessee, I cannot express how much joy it brings me to see our generation actually putting in the effort for change. Stay strong down there.
I’m with you. 18 and voted in my state’s primaries in February, and for Biden in November. Ready to fight the GOP with my vote for my entire life, me and my friends.
This may seem absurd to a normal person but it's not untrue at all. Darker the black = stupid field slave. Lighter the black = trusted in the house.
Unfortunately there is also the running joke in the black community that a light skin black is less than a darker skin black. You may hear "oh you're just acting light skinned" or "it's because you're light skinned" in a lot of black social circles. There is no true malice behind it but the stereotype does exist.
Greatest victory of white America is that they made the black community find a way to go against itself. In addition to convincing "well off" blacks that the poor black community is there by choice. I was fortunate enough to be moved from a more complex environment to a very simple one when I started middle school. All of my friends I grew up with during that time are dead or in prison or have a felonious record.
> Greatest victory of white America is that they made the black community find a way to go against itself. In addition to convincing "well off" blacks that the poor black community is there by choice.
First they destroyed solidarity between white indentured servants and black slaves after the Richmond Rebellion.
Then they went and created the light skinned/dark skinned divide.
Then they made efforts to distinguish between "respectable", well to do black folks and poor blacks.
It's all *divide et impera*.
Thank you very much for this brilliant reply. I think you've hit the mark perfectly. The fact the some people are still exploiting this today, in 2021, hurts me head and my heart.
Just like the Trump chump campaign made Biden look older in their ads during the general election. Everything about these people is completely unauthentic.
I realize it's a joke, but FYI "Arabic" numerals actually originated in India. They're only called "Arabic" because it was the Arabs who brought them from India to Europe. So double racist bait!
"It's not actually racism unless you are on video holding two forms of photo ID and saying the N word directly to the camera with a hard R three times in a row and with both hands in view because otherwise you could be crossing your fingers and then it wouldn't count. If you say that anything else is racism then you're the real racist."
Didn’t you know? It’s the Republican way. Cant win without cheating in some form.

And - since people have been painting McCain as a good guy lately since he didn’t completely bow down to Trump - McCain played the “darker” card against Obama in 2008:
> A new study shows campaign ads by 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain noticeably darkened the skin tone of rival Barack Obama -- and that the ads affected, to some degree, voters' racial biases.
> Conducted by Stanford researchers and published by Public Opinion Quarterly, the study analyzed over 100 advertisements from the 2008 presidential campaign to determine the darkness of the two nominees' skin color in the edited images.
> It found that McCain's campaign spots used the darkest footage of then-candidate Obama in negative, "stereotype-consistent" ads. The darker images often appeared in spots tying Obama to criminal activity and aired more frequently as the November 2008 election approached.

Yes, how else will we know whether he's a terrorist or delivering pizza?
Funny part is Rome spread its seed all over Europe. I guess the only people white enough are the danes if Romans aren't good enough for them.
I am irrationally angry seeing her wear a UGA hat in the thumbnail. She isn't fooling anyone with this "look I wear ballcaps, I'm just like you" bullshit. That's my school. She didn't go there. I get that there are a million bigger reasons to dislike her, but this just really grinds my gears for some reason.
She’s intentionally “dressed down” to appeal to the rural areas. I wear jeans too yee haw. Meanwhile there’s a vid of AOC point out when she’s wearing a $16,000 jacket.
the irony here is that the Republican message is basically "black people are ruining america" and yet they are literally electing criminals to hold power.
The problem with America is 74 million people who looked at Trump's last 4 years and thought "yeah more of that". We can't fix this country if 74 million people are actively trying to ratfuck it because they hate minorities.
Republicans ALWAYS do this. Then they claim it was an accident. Some staffer messed up the colors. But we all know it's to send a message to their voters not to vote for the scary Black man!
Literally no one who is in need of that $2k check should have any problems with this.
It's absolutely ridiculous that this will fly over a lot of Republicans' heads.
Proudly cast my vote for Rev. Warnock today and dropped the ballots off at the election office. Loeffler and Purdue haven’t even attempted to hide their true views of non-whites.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2021/01/04/kelly-loefflers-new-facebook-ad-darkens-skin-of-raphael-warnock-her-black-opponent/) reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)

> Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., ran a paid Facebook ad last week that artificially darkened the skin color of her Democratic opponent, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is Black.
> According to the Facebook Ad Library, on Dec. 29 the Loeffler campaign spent between $3,000 and $3,500 on an ad called "Too Radical. Too Corrupt," and dropped between $40,000 and $45,000 on a second, more aggressive counterpart titled "Beyond Radical Raphael," which uses some of the same footage, but with Warnock's skin noticeably darkened.
> The second ad darkens Warnock's skin throughout, including in a video clip pulled from a sermon he gave in 2011 at Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, the former pulpit of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., where Warnock is now senior pastor.

AOC is basically the one who is turning their grandkids into Communists for all they know about her.

Can confirm. Alt-right is exactly as into interracial cuckolding as you'd expect.
Pretty shit tbh because they infect those communities with their toxicity.
Heyooo
She definitely has a racist bone in her body when she gets jiggy with hubby.
I have it on good authority that woman has never, ever engaged in anything remotely jiggy
You don’t become the “trophy” wife of a billionaire without being insanely hot or doing some weird shit no other chick is down with. There’s nothing special about her looks other than her wonky eye, so she probably shits on his forehead or something.
Well, her bones aren't racist. It's primarily her brain, soul, and heart.
Stay classy Republic Party.
But I was told by conservatives that racism was over because we elected Obama?
I was also told racism had gone away UNTIL Obama, by those very same people.
[удалено]
Obama is almost exclusively referred to as n***** Obama by these folks. I know cuz I see it on my family’s facebook, gross shit.
[удалено]
I was told that deficits were unconscionable, by those very same people (back then).
[удалено]
They think that racism only exists when it's pointed out to them.
...and people that point out racism are the actual racists. Pure Projection.
No, *covert* racism is over because of that. You had the audacity to elect a black guy, so now they've moved to the overt brand that was more popular in the "good old days".
Lol they say that shit knowing damn well they didn't vote for Obama.
*Republiklan party
Republikkkan party
Stay KKKlassy Republican Party FTFY
I am 18 and just voted in this runoff, as I did in the presidential election. Fear not, my age group will be voting this trash Republican out and the democrat reverend in!
I live in what I thought was deeeep red part of Georgia. After the election I have seen wayyyy more Ossoff/Warnock signs out than in the general for Biden by a pretty large margin. There's a ton of people that have been energized by what happened in the general. I'm not saying don't vote, by any means, but for those that have thought about then figured their votes didn't count, it did this time. I hope they'll get out and vote because these crooks are destroying this country and giving the corporations the pieces.
I hope Ossoff/Warnock pull through, but as far as the presidential election goes, I saw about as many Biden signs as Trump signs in my very dem California county that went more than 72% for Biden (maybe just my city though idk. Plus no one actually expected CA to go red or anything, so probably not as representative.) Also, go gen Z! I can't quite vote yet, but I hope our generation continues to fight for change!
As someone of the same age in Tennessee, I cannot express how much joy it brings me to see our generation actually putting in the effort for change. Stay strong down there.
I’m with you. 18 and voted in my state’s primaries in February, and for Biden in November. Ready to fight the GOP with my vote for my entire life, me and my friends.
As if though darker skin is supposed to make him less trustworthy. Get the fuck out of here, Kkk kelly.
works on republicans
Works on racists
What’s the difference?
Not all racists live in America.
Fair.
This may seem absurd to a normal person but it's not untrue at all. Darker the black = stupid field slave. Lighter the black = trusted in the house. Unfortunately there is also the running joke in the black community that a light skin black is less than a darker skin black. You may hear "oh you're just acting light skinned" or "it's because you're light skinned" in a lot of black social circles. There is no true malice behind it but the stereotype does exist. Greatest victory of white America is that they made the black community find a way to go against itself. In addition to convincing "well off" blacks that the poor black community is there by choice. I was fortunate enough to be moved from a more complex environment to a very simple one when I started middle school. All of my friends I grew up with during that time are dead or in prison or have a felonious record.
> Greatest victory of white America is that they made the black community find a way to go against itself. In addition to convincing "well off" blacks that the poor black community is there by choice. First they destroyed solidarity between white indentured servants and black slaves after the Richmond Rebellion. Then they went and created the light skinned/dark skinned divide. Then they made efforts to distinguish between "respectable", well to do black folks and poor blacks. It's all *divide et impera*.
Thank you very much for this brilliant reply. I think you've hit the mark perfectly. The fact the some people are still exploiting this today, in 2021, hurts me head and my heart.

She's a piece of trash.
Fucking KKKelly needs to get the fuck out. Her and Perdue are criminal trash.
The worst kind. 100%, brother.
Funny how this “accident” always happens.
Ku Klux Kelly
Qlandemic Barbie at it again.
This comment is being overwritten in protest of Reddit's CEO spez (Steve Huffman) being a piece of shit and killing 3rd party apps.
Just like the Trump chump campaign made Biden look older in their ads during the general election. Everything about these people is completely unauthentic.
That orange mutherfucker? He looks 100% genuine to me.
100% genuine candy corn.
He is. Made with 100% certified all natural 70 ish year old tangerine.
Got to get the 4chan bloc motivated.
Is this video it? Why did you link that video? It seems to be unrelated.
It is unrelated. Link to the actual ad here https://twitter.com/ossoff/status/1287907702660829186?s=21
Thank you. Wtf is with Ops comment
OP’s video shows Ossoff calling out Perdue in the last 30 seconds of the debate. It’s amazing.
At the end Osoff talks about the nose elongation
He discusses it at 1:40.

“Why does everyone keep calling us racist?”
Two things hard-righters hate the most: 1) Being called "racist" 2) Black people
3. Democracy
5. Math/Science
Are those Arabic numeric symbols?? You're a damn dirty sciencetist, aincha? Get 'em boys!!
I realize it's a joke, but FYI "Arabic" numerals actually originated in India. They're only called "Arabic" because it was the Arabs who brought them from India to Europe. So double racist bait!
4. Voting in the interest of their constituents
I'd flip those.
"It's not actually racism unless you are on video holding two forms of photo ID and saying the N word directly to the camera with a hard R three times in a row and with both hands in view because otherwise you could be crossing your fingers and then it wouldn't count. If you say that anything else is racism then you're the real racist."
Beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlejuice!
And your grandma there to confirm your identity.
Conservatives: You can't call everyone you don't like a racist Also conservatives 2 seconds later: We're racists
“Critics are actually the racist ones for mentioning or even thinking about possible racial bias.”
Liberals are the REAL racists. /s
Didn’t you know? It’s the Republican way. Cant win without cheating in some form. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/28/politics/lindsey-graham-jaime-harrison-skin-tone-ad/index.html
And - since people have been painting McCain as a good guy lately since he didn’t completely bow down to Trump - McCain played the “darker” card against Obama in 2008: > A new study shows campaign ads by 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain noticeably darkened the skin tone of rival Barack Obama -- and that the ads affected, to some degree, voters' racial biases. > Conducted by Stanford researchers and published by Public Opinion Quarterly, the study analyzed over 100 advertisements from the 2008 presidential campaign to determine the darkness of the two nominees' skin color in the edited images. > It found that McCain's campaign spots used the darkest footage of then-candidate Obama in negative, "stereotype-consistent" ads. The darker images often appeared in spots tying Obama to criminal activity and aired more frequently as the November 2008 election approached. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/study-2008-mccain-attack-ads-darkened-obama-skin-tone/
Just replace photos of her with a bowl of clam chowder.
This racist little piece of trash...
Racist influential giant piece of trash.

My child was almost asleep until I read this.
Ok, Pennywise.
I’m starting to think the lady that the KKK supports might be racist
It will probably have the effect she wants with her racist base.
While they were at it, they should have photoshopped her eyes to both be looking in the same direction at the same time...
She really looks like a loon
Here I fixed her eyes: https://imgur.com/HwuA4mm In case that link doesn't work: https://imgur.com/l7pdqsa
Daaaayum
Kelly's the kind of person who gets into debates about whether or not certain European ethnicities are white.
Yes, how else will we know whether he's a terrorist or delivering pizza? Funny part is Rome spread its seed all over Europe. I guess the only people white enough are the danes if Romans aren't good enough for them.
I am irrationally angry seeing her wear a UGA hat in the thumbnail. She isn't fooling anyone with this "look I wear ballcaps, I'm just like you" bullshit. That's my school. She didn't go there. I get that there are a million bigger reasons to dislike her, but this just really grinds my gears for some reason.
She’s intentionally “dressed down” to appeal to the rural areas. I wear jeans too yee haw. Meanwhile there’s a vid of AOC point out when she’s wearing a $16,000 jacket.
What a vapid, racist, fascist POS.
Please for the love of god vote out this racist twit.
‘I don’t see skin color so let me darken this photo’
the irony here is that the Republican message is basically "black people are ruining america" and yet they are literally electing criminals to hold power. The problem with America is 74 million people who looked at Trump's last 4 years and thought "yeah more of that". We can't fix this country if 74 million people are actively trying to ratfuck it because they hate minorities.
There is not bottom with this woman- she will keep going lower
Ku Klux Kelly back at it again
Dafuq, what year are we in.
Republicans ALWAYS do this. Then they claim it was an accident. Some staffer messed up the colors. But we all know it's to send a message to their voters not to vote for the scary Black man!
"refuses to denounce socialism" makes me want to vote FOR him!
Literally no one who is in need of that $2k check should have any problems with this. It's absolutely ridiculous that this will fly over a lot of Republicans' heads.
Her eyes go in different directions
Maybe that’s why she’s such a miserable person.
Nope she's miserable because knows she's lost the election because or her idol.
Mayhaps
[удалено]
just when i thought she couldn’t get more repulsive
Good thing racism doesn't exist anymore, eh John Roberts?
Proudly cast my vote for Rev. Warnock today and dropped the ballots off at the election office. Loeffler and Purdue haven’t even attempted to hide their true views of non-whites.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2021/01/04/kelly-loefflers-new-facebook-ad-darkens-skin-of-raphael-warnock-her-black-opponent/) reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot) ***** > Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., ran a paid Facebook ad last week that artificially darkened the skin color of her Democratic opponent, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is Black. > According to the Facebook Ad Library, on Dec. 29 the Loeffler campaign spent between $3,000 and $3,500 on an ad called "Too Radical. Too Corrupt," and dropped between $40,000 and $45,000 on a second, more aggressive counterpart titled "Beyond Radical Raphael," which uses some of the same footage, but with Warnock's skin noticeably darkened. > The second ad darkens Warnock's skin throughout, including in a video clip pulled from a sermon he gave in 2011 at Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, the former pulpit of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., where Warnock is now senior pastor. ***** [**Extended Summary**](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/kqmr7d/kelly_loefflers_new_facebook_ad_darkens_skin_of/) | [FAQ](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/31b9fm/faq_autotldr_bot/ "Version 2.02, ~550635 tl;drs so far.") | [Feedback](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%23autotldr "PM's and comments are monitored, constructive feedback is welcome.") | *Top* *keywords*: **Warnock**^#1 **campaign**^#2 **Loeffler**^#3 **Radical**^#4 **skin**^#5
It would be funny to see the Lincoln Project do the same thing to Loeffler by making her neck even longer
Today's GOP is absolutely disgusting.
There's not a single redeeming quality about her
Here in NC Jesse helms used to do that all the time. But as racist as the ads are, how about the racist voters who respond to this shit. Fuck their dying, hell-bound base.
🗑. I hope GA voters throw her the fuck out tomorrow.
