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.
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”.

People who don’t understand satire unless it’s clearly labeled.
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.

Oops you’re right this isn’t a native but a slave I’ll correct my comment.
Not a slave either.
This was around 10 years after the abolishment of slavery in the south, was it not referencing that?
If not what is the actual context?
