Two weeks ago, I had a bad feeling about the Peanuts character strip as Charlie Brown
is a cute little white boy and Snoopy is his white dog.

I sensed that some people would take offense just because they have that "right" to feel offended.

How many other old cartoon strips will be ruled to be politically incorrect?

Tonight, 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 special centers around a somewhat impromptu holiday meal that happens when Peppermint Patty invites herself and several others over to Charlie Brown and Sally's house for Thanksgiving despite the fact that they're preparing to go to their grandmother's for the feast. After a little help from Linus, who convinces Charlie they can have two Thanksgivings, as well as Woodstock and Snoopy who do the cooking, a friends' Thanksgiving is on.

The meal -- buttered toast, pretzel sticks, popcorn, jelly beans, and an ice cream sundae -- is served at a table in the backyard, and while all's well that ends well with everyone ending up invited to Charlie and Sally's grandmother's meal, it's the seating arrangements at this unusual dinner that has some fans on social media heated. Franklin, the one and only black friend in the group, is seated by himself on one side of the table while the other is crowded with the rest of the friends. On top of that, he's sitting in a lawn chair as opposed to everyone else's proper furniture.

It's... not a good look ....

I don't know about racism, but with so many children having life-threatening nut allergies, shouldn't Peanuts be banned altogether?  What about the poor children who will be traumatized by being forced to view it?  

.
There is a new study underway that is beginning to show that young children with peanut allergy can gradually build up resistance over two or more years such that a child who at first has an inflammatory reaction to a tiny portion of one peanut, after weekly small doses in a controlled plan over two years can then tolerate as much as two entire peanuts. In this way, the accidental encounter with peanuts becomes less of an emergency situation.

Therefore, sensitive children could benefit from brief moments of time viewing the Peanuts cartoons!
