Chalk this up to just another case of the 6th-grade mentality deliberately being dumb on the internetz. Have they gotten over "eating" tide pods and proclaiming that the Earth is flat?
Sick evil people making trouble their minds diseased with race hatred.
Maybe someone mistakenly believed that Franklin was Pigpen.
Y’see who else is sitting alone?! Marcie - the obviously transgender or LGBT kid!
This is all pure nonsense and the special has aged fine. What hasn’t aged well is these snowflake millennials who think they’re enlightened because they got participation trophies for showing up to school with substandard expectations of grade levels.
I am sooooo sick of these degenerates! They ALL have different chairs. Would they prefer he not be invited at all????
Good grief!

Libs get “outraged” daily over the stupidest crap.
Libs destroy everything they touch.....EVERYTHING!!
Now, it’s Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving.
When is America gonna say “enough” and finally deal with these insane POSs...once and for all?
We should give them “something” to really get “outraged” over.
Also....it looks like the scene, to me, may have been illustrated to make him stand out MORE because he was invited to show better race relations. Consider the time this was produced.
I think I have to stop reading the news.
The scene is right before Linus gives a blessing to God for the food.
Franklin is however seated between two bowls of popcorn and has several sundaes within reach. The only other character similarly situated is Charlie Brown.
Actually there are three people sitting alone at the table. Franklin is on a side and two individuals at either end. Linus is being discriminated against because of his belief in the Great Pumpkin. And yes the chairs are all different. Some may have come from the house, others the storage shed and Franklin’s from the patio.
Wait just a minute here. Franklin appears to be the only kid who was given silverware. What’s the assumption here, that white people eat with their hands like apes and cavemen, and that blacks eat in a civilized manner? Very racist. Outrageous!
“with most settling into the idea that the special simply hasn’t aged well.”
Yeah, that’s why it’s still shown annually after 45 freaking years.
People concerned about this need to put down the grievance juice and get a life.
The thought Nazis are working overtime.
Good grief, for all they know in the cartoonist’s mind, Franklin was left-handed and kept bumping everyone else’s elbows.
Franklin’s also the only one with a spoon- talk about black privilege.
The real racists are those that see racism in everything.

I grew up watching that every year. I don’t remember that scene at all like that. Seems to me the “outrage” and racism is all in their minds. Everyone else watching it sees a touching holiday special.
Looks like Franklin is the only one who rates silverware.
He’s also the only one with a spoon. Either the rest of them are going to stick their faces in their plates, or they stole the silverware.
