Are you offended by a charlie brown thanksgiving show?

So, the show that’s been running since 1973, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”, is under fire. Some people are saying it’s racist. In one scene, all the kids are sitting at a table and having a kid-style Thanksgiving feast. It’s a long table with a kid sitting on each end, three kids and Snoopy sitting on one side and Franklin, the black kid, sitting by himself on one side of the table and his chair is not as nice as the other kid’s. The fact he’s sitting separate from the others and on a worse chair is being called out as racist. Your thoughts?

No, it’s nothing 26
Yes, it’s racist 2
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Some people spend their lives looking for hard-ons in Disney movies. Others look for racism in Peanuts cartoons. Get a life.

    This is why the Trump supporters are getting out of hand lately.
    Non-whites are seeking racism in EVERYthing.

    Maybe they put Franklin by himself so it would stand out that there was some black kid in the cartoon. Maybe like a pride thing.
    His chair - lawn chairs are more comfy to relax in. Plus he has the best seat in the house, more personal space.

    I wonder though if Lucy's seat is somewhere off in the woods so no one will have to hear her mouth. Holy hell she is a loudmouth bitch!

    One thing for sure when it comes to minorities who are SJW - there is no way to do anything to their liking. You can't include them, you cannot exclude them.

    This particular scenario is part of a bigger problem though - Thanksgiving has been under attack for some years. We are expected to recognize stupid bullshit in the USA like Valentine's day or St patrick's day but Lord fuck if Thanksgiving should exist. always has been and always will be my favorite holiday, even if it's getting harder and harder to celebrate.

    Good grief! Sorry, had to do it. Charles Schultz, the creator, actually got a bunch of heat for including a black kid at all. The racial protests that started in the 60’s were still a thing when this show came out.

    If you look closely Franklin has THREE sundaes, everyone else has one Linus has none at ALL!!. WTF!!!

    Are they implying Franklin is a thief.

    We should boycott Thanksgiving, Television, Sundaes, stop eating peanuts all together then quit our jobs and march!!

    We should also burn all people named Megyn or Kelly as they are obviously plants meant to infiltrate our society.

    I hear Salem is a good place to burn people.

    We like to search things from long ago and apply todays ideas and standards, it somehow makes us feel good. Something made in 1973, and the creator is dead, you never know. Perhaps it was done intentionally. The answer will never be known. You can find racist undertones in everything if you search long and hard enough, i think.

    The true racism is bestowed upon pigpen, who represents dirty italian catholics, just sucking up all the filth wherever he goes. Franklin is represented as irrelevant, which is neither good nor bad.

    I'm offended by Charlie Brown, but not because it's racist, just because he's little wiener kid and I don't like his face.
