Another dumb black hole question (charge and acceleration)

Black holes can carry charge.
Relativity tells us that all acceleration is the same, right? So if
we drop a proton and a neutron into a positively charged black hole,
the proton will feel less force.
This suggests that the proton would experience a different event
horizon, except that I know that's not right.
Obviously I'm missing something; if anyone can fill in the missing
piece, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Doug M.
