Just Picked Up On It
Did anyone else notice for the first time after a lifetime of viewing #ACharlieBrownThanksgiving that the only black boy Franklin had to sit on the other side of the table from the white kids? I'm shook.

Yes, That Happened
Yes, Franklin's sitting by himself (and in a broken lawn chair).
If wondering, by this point (1973), there's several cartoons starring Black characters ("Josie and the Pussycats", "The Jackson Five," "The Harlem Globetrotters," "Fat Albert"). #ACharlieBrownThanksgiving

Annual Disappointment
Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is on. Time for our annual love and disappointment that Franklin is sitting on one side of the table all by himself. #Thanksgiving2020

Still Confused
I still don't understand why Franklin had to sit at the dinner table on a side all by himself on a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Just... Why?
Why was Franklin sitting alone in that Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special? pic.twitter.com/PsXBpl68WN
