This is why racism will never end. People freaking out about -this-, and somewhere some parents are showing it to their kids who would have thought nothing of skin color.

wow i can't believe this near 20 year old account i've never seen before with 10 active posts is shitposting

Your reply is one of the reasons why. Instead of telling me why this tweet is racist, you're going to claim that I'm just trolling, etc. Basically the lowest tier defense from people that want to be upset about everything.

Maybe you should try reading the topic, particularly the 9 million posts explaining that the tweet wasn't intended to be racist but was naturally going to be seen a certain way given historical usage of "you're one of the good ones" to black people

Is it really that difficult to just say "you know, I didn't see it. But I can understand why people are"? It won't kill ya.

here's the thing. I think most people understand that is not THEIR intention. however, a lot of people don't like it because that language evokes negative feelings regarding other people saying the same things WITH negative intentions. For this reason, reading the same thing causes them to have a negative reaction.

The peanuts creators, not realizing this response, decided to pull it down to stop this issue. I respect them for doing so, and believe 100% that it was not their intent. Peoples' reactions were not what they were expecting/intending.

One of the things you should understand is sometimes our actions have unintended consequences. Now, perhaps you disagree about what you should do about that, but I do think it makes sense to take the thing down if it upsets some people, regardless of what your original intent is. Because it causes some harm regardless, and taking it down can limit/stop that.

They should leave it up to help condition people's minds to stop reacting negatively.

Literally heard that phrase regarding all types of people, not just specific skin colors.

He's one of the good ones

She's one of the good ones

They are one of the good ones

None of it was questioned.

It's questioned here because of what? Historical usage of the phrase, which also has a history of being used in many various circumstances? Lol

We just look at it here, look at the skin color of the person saying it vs the person it's said to, then auto assume racial/racist agenda... without knowing anything else about the two people.

Whatevs, I guess

Wouldn't you rather be playing warriors orochi 4 ultimate, right now? Slaying hordes of demon armies. Let's go do that

How good you must feel you are to ignore racial issues.
Over a non racial tweet? I really dont understand where this is coming from.

My bad man, I dont see everything as a race issue or pick things apart until they become a race issue. Guess I need to start doing that to fit in with everyone here.

Good for you. This doesn't invalidate facts and trends that, for some interesting reason, everyone is aware of except for you

Hey if you didn't know, no harm, but I got the impression you read the topic, where the context has been explained multiple times.

If you see that and still say it's not real, then that's willful ignorance.

Cyric guy, I see youre pretty old so its a shame someone with as many years as you is still stuck in some warped state of mind. You really dont have to make everything a race issue and then get upset over the made up outrage. Im talking about this tweet and this tweet only, it has nothing to do with race and if someone turns it into a race thing then they are creating a fake issue over a fake thing.

I wouldn't necessarily call them racist, but they're acting really weird.

This thread is literally just one group of people freaking out because they think another group of people are freaking out.

What if it would have the black kid saying it to the white one in that picture
i think the people who immediately assumed it was the white kid talking in the comic is highly suspicious

Charlie Brown is the main character of the series and he's motioning his hand up. Most people are going to assume he's the one talking.

So you're aware of the phrase's origin yet you still can't figure out why people are seeing it in a certain way?

Yikes.

Oh I know very very well why people choose to see it a certain way.
