"YOU a RACIST, CHARLIE BROWN!" (Happy Thanksgiving, Every PC One)

While the snowflakes began to snarl traffic here and there, in our climate change world where a White Christmas can be a White Thanksgiving instead, various snowflakes began to snarl...

...that a cartoon made over 40 years ago is now RACIST. Not racially insensitive. RACIST.

When you say RACIST, you are saying INTENTIONAL, MALICIOUS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST SOMEONE ELSE.

Aside from snowflake liberals needing to find something to grouse about, some blacks were ready to lapse into dialect about this:

CHARLIE BROWN, HE A RACIST.

You can't use proper English when you're making a point about race. You have to use EBONICS.

Francis Scott Key: HE A RACIST. You think the "Star Spangled Banner" isn't a racist lyric? YOU A RACIST.

Back in 1973, a lot of black people and white liberals were glad to see an "integrated" suburb where the "Peanuts" characters dwelled. Reflecting the truth about minorities finding good jobs and being able to move into better neighborhoods, the parents of "FRANKLIN," the black kid, apparently bought a house not far from snotty-named Lucy Van Pelt, or perhaps Charlie himself. "FRANKLIN" was now attending a predominantly all-white school, and was being embraced by his classmates.

OR WAS HE???

Charles Schulz? HE A RACIST.

Forget about him putting a black kid into his comic strip, and fighting for that, and for having the kid turn up in the TV cartoons.

HE A RACIST.

Look at that table! The black kid is sitting on ONE side, and all the white kids on the other.

It may have taken OVER FORTY YEARS to spot this, and decry it on Twitter and join the PC brigade about it...but DAY-UMMMMMM, RACIST cartoons have NO PLACE in America no more. BAN THIS CARTOON! BAN IT! BAN IT! BAN IT!

Or, uh, use some special effects to put a few white kids next to him? Where's Marcy, the somewhat lesbian little girl hanging around with Peppermint Patty? Get her over there. And where's Pigpen, to represent the emotionally disabled who can't clean up for themselves or do without clutter? Get that kid who plays Beethoven on the toy piano, but have him PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BOY.

And do NOT be offended at being called WHITE BOY.

Nobody bothered to dig up the producers of the special to find out WHY the black kid was on one side of the table. Mostly, you'd have to literally dig them up. Charles Schulz is dead, and so is Bill Melendez (who also voiced Snoopy).

If the placement was at all deliberate, the logical reason for it would have been to not rile Southern affiliates. But that's probably not the case if the black child was interacting with the white kids throughout the rest of the story.

Bottom line, Twitter is one of the most hostile and ridiculous websites on the Internet, and people are so full of rage and misery that they can't help becoming trolls.

Looking on the bright side, it's quite a triumph of equality that trolls...who are usually pictures as gnarled, tiny and maybe even green...now come in every color and size.
