Charlie Brown’s Racist Thanksgiving

Tokenism backfires yet again, as Charlie Brown is discovered to have participated in a racist Thanksgiving dinner. Last night,

ABC aired the classic animated Peanuts special A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and while many fans tuned in for the warmth of nostalgia to kick off their holiday season, many came away with a less than fuzzy feeling when it came to how one specific character was treated.

The black character Franklin got a whole side of the table to himself. They must have been shunning him. Also, he had to sit on a lawn chair, unlike the other characters. It appears that back in the dark days of 1973, even cartoon characters of color were oppressed:

This is why all cultural relics of even the recent past must be destroyed or at the very least edited carefully to remove all thoughtcrime.

The beauty of antiracism as a political weapon is that you can find racism anywhere. You just have to know how to look.
