Might be an idea to watch the whole episode.
In that episode a mutant rat character called "Verminous Scum" comes up with a plan to start a world war, with the intention of causing a lot of radiation for another character called "Nukem" to bask in, eat, whatever. He plants nukes in three troubled spots of the world at the time; South Africa, the West Bank and Ireland. He then gives a remote trigger to someone on each side of the conflicts he is targetting, telling the people it will destroy thousands of people on the "other" side of the conflict; a black woman and a white male soldier in South Africa, a Palestian woman and an old Jewish guy in the West Bank, and two young men (a Protestant and a Catholic) in Ireland.
It then becomes the job of the planeteers to go to the hotspots and encourage the two people to resolve their differences, which they succeed in doing in all three cases.
You have to remember, Captain Planet was mean't to educate kids and promote peaceful/environmental causes, sometimes you just have to explain what nasty terms mean in order to do that.
After watching 2 minutes I thought it was blatantly racist. I'd like to know if the other "bombers" were also portrayed in such a fashion.
I'm not in favor of the politically correct BS that is ruining my Country but what I saw in those 2 minutes was over-the-top.
They were indeed portrayed like that.T.Pike wrote:

Why does the American planeteer have the most destructive power ...fire? I blame Captain Planet for perpetuating the image of America as being one of the most belligerent world powers!
Wouldn't using the power of fire to stop a petrol bomb be a little bit dangerous?
They actually used the word 'Prod' in the cartoon, did they use the n word (anagram of ginger) in the South African part of the story I wonder?

What the fuck? That guy just laser-zapped the molotov cocktail, and the Irish guy just said "what'd you do that for?"

This video is of american who i think lives in belfast not sure commenting on the OP video about how its such a true story rofl made me laugh tbh.
It's not really the most accurate cartoon in the world but how many are and i used to watch captian planet and it's quite topical now with that climate change is so big may be they should bring it back. This episode though especially when he turns round the first corner and i guys their with a petrol bomb lol is a bit strange i must admit but it made me laugh.

Normally, handshaking a guy who you just saw throwing a molotov cocktail isn't the brightest idea.
But, I guess it's ok.

CAPTAIN PLANET!!! CAPTAIN PLANET!!! The 1 single largest source of hippie tree hugging dope smoking whale saving bullcrap, probly the source of "global warming".
15 more years! 15 more years!
I have 2 girls 8 & 3, the material there is way over their heads. So knowing that, I doubt many children older than them would watch a cartoon like this, so what audience is this directed at!? I remember watching CP when I was younger, but it was never really one of my favs.
There is no way I would let my kids see this episode, why would I want to teach my kids a reason to hate!?
