9. What an Ending.

(Pages 13-14)

Right around that point, Lois is informed that Dave is awake again, so she goes in to see him.

But will he hate her now, Lois worries? Because, you know, he hates all white people. Lois walks in, and he reacts with surprise, and then happiness. He takes her hand in friendship.

Again, in theory, I guess this is a positive thing, but in practice, it’s super offensive. By playing up the situation this way, it becomes a story about whether or not black people can overcome their hate for white people. As literally anyone who ever studied racial issues in the United States can tell you, THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

Reverse racism is so far from being a thing it almost loops back around. And what makes it even more frustrating is that this comic clearly knows that white America’s racist policies have put black America in a horrible place. The characters talk about that. It just then expects that black people should get past all that because #NotAllWhitePeople.

It’s super gross.
