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.

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.

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.
