No mention of the native Americans who had made the Pilgrims' survival possible.
And they created a "new world for freedom and justice". Yeah, the freedom to genocide native Americans by sending them blankets infected with measles and the justice of slavery for blacks.
And keeping the black guy "separate but equal". I wonder what was going through Charles Schultz's head when he did this. Was it to palliate the Southern viewers?

He has no logic behind it. It's amazing what triggers them.

You make some valid points. I applaud you passion for calling out racism and prejudice. But is calling out a cartoonist, who is long since dead, for placing a black character on the opposite side of the table to white characters going to further the discussion against racism? I mean, Jesus! We could sit here all day applying the PC standards of today to the past, which wouldn't get us anywhere. We could condemn Abraham Lincoln for being a racist, which he was, because he didn't believe blacks were equal to whites.
There's certainly nothing wrong with having these conversations, mind you. But let's come down to earth, shall we? Let's give credit where it's due and stop being so ridiculous that we waste time condemning a classic holiday cartoon because it might offend the left's vision of an egalitarian utopia. Hopefully, we'll get there in time.

I don't think that it's calling out the cartoonist. Charles Schulz was obviously not any kind of conscious racist. That the turkey is placed closest to Franklin indicates that Schulz wasn't trying to disparage him. But there was plenty of unconscious discrimination in that era and that might explain Franklin's placement at the opposite end of the table, just as the one person with a disability (glasses) is also separated from the main group. Off-topic: I wonder where Lucy is.

I don’t want to know.
About that racist “cracker” remark.

I don't get "triggered". I'm just showing you what you do.
