    I am receiving reports that this comic is racist. Correct me if I am wrong. Although the story itself depicts an extremely racist and violent event, it seems more like a protest against the racism that was the norm in society at the time.

      It depicts a oppressors killing others using self defense as an excuse.

      Bullies victimizing themselves is a tale as old as time, as comic this was released in 1876. And very relevant today.

        Do what? The source you linked stated it was about a white (U.S.) southerner and a black child. What “indigenous” person do you think is depicted here…?

        Edit: original comment said this was about a “colonist” and an “indigenous person”.
