Charles Schulz’s A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a classic Peanuts special from 1973 that airs during the holidays. But one particular scene has been stirring up controversy in recent years.

In the scene, Franklin, who is the only Black character, is sitting by himself on one side of a Thanksgiving table, while most of the other kids sit together on the other side (Linus is seated at the head of the table). Some people consider the scene problematic and even racist, arguing that Franklin is separated from the rest of the characters, who are white.

This was clearly a shout out to Black Lives Matter.

I mean c'mon man, you know the thing.

The really funny bit, showing just how insane the left has become, was that when he introduced Franklin, it was considered groundbreaking, cheered by blacks, and hated by Democrats:
