[Concerning a revival of DC's old "Haunted Tank" series.]
I won't be buying this "Haunted Tank", its disrespectful to Gen. Stuart. The previous issues did not have a mixed-race soldier involved, why now? Gen. Stuart does not have any mixed race relatives, the idea is stupid!!!

So? Comics have come a loooong way. Did you know the Green Lantern is black now? And some minor characters are gay. In fact, why stop there? Superman and Green Lantern should totally hook up, and adopt Chinese babies.
Wow...so not only did the Green Lantern change colors, he's also named after the awesomest newscaster on television?
I really need to start researching comic books.
Re:The Green Lantern
The Green Lantern this poster's most familiar with, is Hal Jordan, which is the second or third Green Lantern (I'm not sure) and became such,in the late 1950's, who quit the Green Lantern Corps, & currently resides in a Quantum Micro Universe with a wife & children... (That's assuming Dark Knight 2's canon, BTW).
“I won't be buying this "Haunted Tank",”
Be sure to draw all the attention you can to it, then.
Free advertising is the WORST thing you can do to the writers.
“its disrespectful to Gen. Stuart.”
That would be the Confederate general who graduated from West Point, but treasonously joined the Rebels to fight the Union?
Yeah, who cares?
“The previous issues did not have a mixed-race soldier involved, why now?”
The previous series started in 1961.
Time has moved on, so has society.
The authors want to tell a story that includes a mixed-race soldier.
What difference does it make to you? When’s the last time you bought a Haunted Tank comic?
“Gen. Stuart does not have any mixed race relatives,”
The absolute BEST you can say about this claim is ‘yet.’
I believe it’s a common belief that pure white people are ‘going away,’ right?
So it’s inevitable that one of his descendants will be mixed.
On the other hand, the old dead treasonous slave-owner IS Protecting his black descendant. So, at least J.E.B. has some honor…
On the THIRD hand,it’s fiction. Untwist your knickers.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
