"Mister Charlie" is an English slang term that appeared in African American communities in the 19th and early 20th centuries, originally in the southern United States, to refer to a white man in power or authority, especially one seen as oppressive or condescending. The term likely arose as a coded or ironic way to speak about those enforcing social, economic, or racial dominance. It is used in informal, historical, or literary contexts, including conversation, music, and storytelling, to criticize or mock authority figures. The term is derogatory and intended to express contempt; it is never neutral.
