A California woman is decrying as racist a comic book she bought at a discount store and gave to her 11-year-old foster son for Christmas without reading, reports The Record.
The comic, titled Captain Confederacy, is set in a world in which the South won the Civil War and the Confederacy is a world power. The heros include a blond-haired, blue-eyed man wearing a red shirt with the crisscrossed logo of the Confederate flag and a Black female fighter.
Jeanette Boswell of Stockton says she bought comic without knowing about it's controversial theme.
"I'd actually like to see whoever is writing this to stop putting out this offensive material," said Boswell. "The way they're doing this, it can really warp some young minds."
**end**
"Warp young minds". No thanks, we'll leave that to the Federal government...they've been doing it since 1861.
