Clinton Paints it Black

So it looks like footage of Barack Obama used in a Hillary Clinton campaign ad was artificially darkened to make Obama look more black than he usually does. Of course, this is kind of subjective. The quality and tone of video footage can change drastically from generation to generation, and no one really knows where the Clinton ad clip was recorded or what it looked like before it was spliced in. But compared to other recordings of the same broadcast, the results are pretty striking. Why the Clinton campaign would think an even blacker black man would be frightening to the American people, I have no idea. I'm not going to endorse any presidential candidate here or go slinging undeserved mud, but Clinton's a racist and Obama deserves the Democratic nomination. More details here.
