The Hillary Clinton campaign seems to be accused regularly of playing RacIsm games.

In January Bill Clinton compared Barack Obama's [South Carolina] win to previous wins by Jesse Jackson.

Mar04: some people accused the Clinton campaign of making Obama look "blacker" in an ad.

• [Fact Check] says many people reacted to a YouTube video that looked darker than the original. And that in the original ad, all the tones are darker (including the shots of Hillary), which seems to be common in negative ads. Or was that their "cover"?

Mar07: [Geraldine Ferraro] (a member of the Clinton campaign's finance committee) said "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." She didn't really apologize.

Mar11: a comedy group made a parody (check the About page on YouTube, including George Lakoff reference).
