Excuse me is this shitty clickbait ad trying to sully the good name of Charles Schulz

Cutting off the letter is also bad form clickbait people, but I’ll get it placed in proper order as it goes
People I like can be divided into two groups: a) those who enjoy and get Charles M. Schulz’s wonderful Peanuts comic strip; b) those fools who don’t. All of human life is in the artist and writer’s 17,897 comic strips.
In 1968 Schulz noticed the Civil Rights movement, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and read a letter from Los Angeles schoolteacher Harriet Glickman. She had a question for Schulz: would he include a black child in the Peanuts gang?
To which Schultz responded with the letter above, in what reads like an incredibly respectful and progressive manner.
He isn’t black and doesn’t want to offend the black community by doing them wrong in his portrayal, that would even work today as a reason.
Mrs. Glickman responded:
Dear Mr. Schulz,
I appreciate your taking the time to answer my letter about Negro children in Peanuts.
You present an interesting dilemma. I would like your permission to use your letter to show some Negro friends. Their responses as parents may prove useful to you in your thinking on this subject.
Sincerely,
Harriet Glickman
True to her word, Mrs Glickman showed the letter to others. Kenneth C. Kelly, one of Mrs. Glickman’s ‘Negro friends’, saw the missive and wrote to the artist:
Dear Mr. Schulz:
With regards to your correspondence with Mrs. Glickman on the subject of including Negro kids in the fabric of Peanuts, I’d like to express an opinion as a Negro father of two young boys. You mention a fear of being patronizing. Though I doubt that any Negro would view your efforts that way, I’d like to suggest that an accusation of being patronizing would be a small price to pay for the positive results that would accrue!
We have a situation in America in which racial enmity is constantly portrayed. The inclusion of a Negro supernumerary in some of the group scenes in Peanuts would do two important things. Firstly, it would ease my problem of having my kids seeing themselves pictured in the overall American scene. Secondly, it would suggest racial amity in a casual day-to-day sense.
I deliberately suggest a supernumerary role for a Negro character. The inclusion of a Negro in your occasional group scenes would quietly and unobtrusively set the stage for a principal character at a later date, should the basis for such a principal develop.
We have too long used Negro supernumeraries in such unhappy situations as a movie prison scene, while excluding Negro supernumeraries in quiet and normal scenes of people just living, loving, worrying, entering a hotel, the lobby of an office building, a downtown New York City street scene. There are insidious negative effects in these practices of the movie industry, TV industry, magazine publishing, and syndicated cartoons.
Sincerely,
KCK
Schulz sent Mrs. Glickman a personal note:
Franklin was in the gang.
Opening bit till it gets to the letters is mine, most of the rest comes from this article
https://flashbak.com/why-charles-m-schulz-gave-peanuts-a-black-character-1968-47081/
When Charles Schultz listened to the opinion of a person of color and put Franklin in his comic strip as good representation and somebody still wants to try to cancel him anyway.
From this article:
Schulz recounted some further negative reactions in an interview with Michael Barrier in 1988. Schulz said, “I finally put Franklin in, and there was one strip where Charlie Brown and Franklin had been playing on the beach, and Franklin said, ‘Well, it’s been nice being with you, come on over to my house some time.’ Again, they didn’t like that.” Schulz also recalled a discussion with Larry Rutman, who at the time ran King Features Syndicate (which distributed Peanuts to newspapers). Schulz said, “I remember telling Larry at the time about Franklin—he wanted me to change it, and we talked about it for a long while on the phone, and I finally sighed and said, “Well, Larry, let’s put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How’s that?”

Mr. Hyunh only wants one thing, and that’s to see his daughter. I know
it’s a long shot, but if I could find her and bring them together, it’d
be the best Christmas gift I could give Mr. Hyunh!

It was originally 10 GIFs I made many times ago before I made animated videos, since some of you asked me to make a video with the opening song so I finally tried !
This is the french version of it ! There are the lyrics :
“Nous, les gemmes de cristal, on sauve le monde entier
Il faut nous faire confiance, on fera tout pour y arriver
C’est pour ça qu’ici tout le monde croit en nous
Grenat, Améthyste et Perle et Steven !!!”
(Also English Lyrics for pigeon fans :) )
