an old-fashioned word from the 19th century often used by women and high class society back then to describe a negro, originally a negro slave; a word most often used by southern women and effete gentlemen who thought the more commonly accepted word nigger (back then) was a bit low-class and pedestrian; a polite word for a nigger slave memorialized in song by Stephen C. Foster's tunes like O Susanna, My Old Kentucky Home, and Old Folks at Home.
Scarlett: A proper southern lady always uses the word darkie when referring to her negro slaves.
Rhett: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. There all a bunch of lazy niggers to me.

A term used by the older generation, due to their socialisation and ignorance, to describe people with dark skin or black people. Not used as a term of mallice, simply due to lack of metropolitan society in the inter war period

An older, somewhat funnier term for a black person. Though taboo in America (much like nigger, spick, wet back, sand nigger, chink, gook, jap) it is still socially acceptable in England.
Jesus was a darkie, you know that right?

A brand of toothpaste displaying an African-American male with very black skin and very white teeth on the tube. Discontinued in the 1980s.
I was startled to see what seemed a brand-new tube of "Darkie" brand toothpaste in Tom's medicine cabinet; I didn't think it was available anymore.

a remote control for an electronic device. origins coming obviously from the fact that in the days prior to remote controls, the black servants would "help out" by changing stations or adjusting the volume of radios, televisions, phonographs, etc...
man 1: have you seen the darkie?
man 2: why? do you want me to change the channel?
