‘Racist’: Backlash After ABC aired ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’
ABC aired ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’ Wednesday evening, a classic cartoon many Americans tune into every year, but this year many viewers were triggered by a “racist” scene.
The ‘controversial’ scene shows Charlie Brown hosting a ‘Friendsgiving’ after Peppermint Patty invites herself and the gang over to his house.
The Gateway Pundit Reports:
The Peanuts gang eats their meal in the backyard and the seating arrangement of the characters lit social media ablaze with claims of racism.
Franklin, the only black friend is sitting alone on a folding chair which caused a huge backlash from viewers.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving first aired in 1973, nearly a decade after the 1964 civil rights act was signed.
Charlie Schulz added Franklin to the Peanuts gang in 1968 after a teacher wrote to Schulz requesting he add a black character to the comic strip to help ease racial tensions in America.
Reaction from upset viewers:
Damn Charlie Brown, 4 on one side and no one by Franklin. Did give him lotsa desserts for reparations i guess.

The DSM VI will need a new category of mental illness - Obsessively Offended Disorder.
"These patients suffer from a feeling of Offense at life. They are emotional pygmies, unable to deal with the inherent imperfections in historical or present situations. They should be ignored, before they do irreparable damage to the culture or the psychological health of those around them."
Oh, The poor black kid is sitting in a lawn chair, how dreadful, and he is all alone over there with all the extra food.
