Parents Retain Lawyer After Video Appears To Show Sesame Place Characters Ignoring Kids Of Color 

Thats true They should give those kids a season pass and let them go there whenever they want all expenses paid

EXACTLY 💯

Bro i don't get it, was there multiple Rosettas? If it was just one person why should the ENTIRE park suffer from that?

@Bo Bo Bo I doubt that you just want to say something

@Bo Bo Bo Same here I’m not here to argue with anyone we all living in hard times! Where people disrespect one another that’s not my intentions.

If they were white & the dude was black....oh boy you'd be crying about it.

Yes' when you could be doing so much more for your community than this 🙄 The Black Panthers at Sesame Street 😑 You should be embarrassed af

Yes, black people need a serious attitude adjustment.

What making mountain out of a pimple? People need to get real.

They cannot say anything ,because what they did was deliberate .They are are accustom to doing this and nothing comes out of it . They deliberately decided they will not acknowledge black children . They never expected one day they would be noticed and it will blow up like this .

They already did, though the company, watch the video again. They thought the children were the white lady's who the character said no to having their kids picked up by the character. The no was a carry over from that lady... Dumb to do that to kids, yes ... Raciest...no

@Mirsty I do not understand what you mean ,what are you talking about ? What spaces ?

@@shelbourneking7068 the costumed actors are underpaid teens with limited visibility on the verge of a heat stroke. They acknowleged plenty of black kids that day. They can't greet every guest because they have to keep the parade moving safely on schedule.

Yes they will be scard for life. I hope they can manage to life a good life. I am sure they will have to live with nightmares. Or Lord please save these two girls.

NOT @ ALL…no1 deserve to be treated that way

The No was not to the children it was no to the parents because they wanted the children to be held for pictures

@@megankerr2397 Strange I didn't observe that. I heard someone in the crowd say something that was to far away. She didn't want her children to be picked up she just wanted them to shake hands like she did those kids next to them. She totally flagged the children. Ridiculous

@@user-vi2dk1qz5f Are you serious?

it almost seems like they're trying to profit from these situations...

@@OasisJK22 I'm not joking

@Chris A. They are lucky they did't get run over by the RoadRunner!

bruh

Well my best friend worked for Disney and she wore MANY costumes just like that. And she said she made it her point to look around to make sure she noticed as many children as possible and u can see her look at those girls and wave them off so what does the costume have to do with this situation? It’s the person behind the costume that made that gesture

@@itschrystal4376 I cannot speak for anyone else in those big bulky expensive costumes but for myself... It's hard to see clearly out of those things. I will agree that discrimination and racism exist on individual personal choice. Definitely will agree to that. A lot of people have made that personal choice.

@@hippohippo9344 have you seen the other videos?

The character had waved to the parent next to them saying no, holding a baby, and then walked past the girls still waving no so it's really not right to say it was blatant.

Exactly! I am sure they were not able to high 5 EVERY kid on the route either, but since these kids are black the inner racist of the viewer is sparked.

LOL. I always thought the "HOOD LOTTERY" was when someone's felon sibling or cousin gets shot in the midst of a crime then sues with Ben Crump and lots of crocodile tears. apparently it is any frivolous act of pathetic victimhood. imagine complaining about this for more gibs

That character also shook their hand at the white guy to but people ignore that because when you want things to be racist you'll see what you want to see on purpose. If it's a black person in the costume then what's your excuse????!!!

@@itsintheword230... And you know the race of the person in the costume? Either way they were not doing a great job of greeting the kids which was the point... Parents pay a lot of money to get into these venues - the point is to entertain people and the whole ethos behind Sesame Street was BASED on inclusivity. I could also point out that people like you are happy to make excuses for behaviour like this. If you, say, paid thousands of dollars to see Disney World and your kids came out upset, you'd be annoyed, too. If you lack an ability to empathise with others that's your problem, it does not invalidate the experiences of others in the same world. Maybe if you were more broadminded I wouldn't need to point that out to you....

No context helps... The character thought the children were from the white lady who asked the character to hold her kids for a picture. The no was a carry over from her question..soo kind of the opposite of being racist, granted could have given the kids a waves or high five

The kids were getting in the road. Looks to me like the person is doing thier job and walking with the parade. Quit being a pathiec worm and crying racist. The person even waved to the white family .

Kkk

Well I sure hope so!! I hope they get millions!

Good, I'm happy to hear this.

And, No… There is no type of racism going on here, this is a disgusting person using this to turn something so small into something huge to make a lot of money.

And at my kids school that poc are the majority, her first year there in pre k Santa came to visit and took pixs. And when I got the pix he was a can I use the word black with out offending anybody? Because I'm not here to offend. He was black and I thought dang I wonder what my kid thought about him. And she was a little confused because all she had ever seen in her 4 years of life was white Santa's and then I realized all I had ever seen my whole 44 years of life was white Santa's and not once had I ever thought about him being black until I had to explain to my kid what color did you think he would be and why would he be white and black Santa's probably listens to way better music. My stupidity probly comes off as entitlement. But I wish it didnt. I learned something that day my child sat on black Santa's lap. And since that day which was 5 years ago. Guess how many black Santa's we have seen? ZERO/And guess how many things we found that made Santa black like on cards or wrapping paper or ornaments or anything ? One ! We found one roll of wrapping paper. We grabbed it so fast. I loved it - I'm glad my kid now knows that Santa is or can be black I wish I had known. I'm sorry people have to go thru that. It hurts us to see our kids hurt . And I m glad they finally made band aids in different shades that took way to long step up sesame world do better !! No excuse they shouldn't hug anyone if they can't hug everyone

You are the racist, Lauren. You are anti-white. You are always looking to hate white people.

I agree with you Marilyn. Not sure why the parents need to retain a lawyer. Sesame Place issued an apology but that wasn't good enough apparently. Exactly what do they want? money?

Curious to see that only people of color is not seen in Rosita costume (only video has come till now of people of color)..is it intentional or by mistake.. sorry that racism is rampant in this children's park.. i would say leave the children and raicsts alone.. let it be only in streets.. else parents should understand the obvious and economically boycott the entity.. Why waste your own hard owned money to fund these racist rosita who never acknowledge their mistake.. Your children deserve better experience not traumatic one who neve acknowledge their mistake

They were still ignoring a child based on the color of their skin, which is racist regardless. Plus, POC and black people can be internally racist, and in this case it could've been external

We should give you a trophy for the only child not given candy at the parade, but what about the other children? They don't get a trophy? Why weren't they also passed over by the candy throwing tyrant so they could get a trophy? It just further proves equality is literally everywhere. Also, racism. Definitely racism. (Just to be clear, agreeing with you. Poe's Law is strong on the internet.)

This company defended their employees and made bs excuses instead of reprimanding them and the mom tried to talk to management at the park PRIOR to uploading the video. This also isn't an isolated incident at this park either (far from it). Look some crap up before you put your foot in your mouth again bud.

@@karenneill9109 no, you ever wear a costume like that?

@@dirtyfrench2926 you ever wear a costume like that skippy?

I’m actively rooting against the families representing the children in this case because of the ludicrous and absurd reality of wanting compensation or legal consequence. And that’s a real shame.

How do you know person was rude. They can't shake hands or hug every kid in Paredes you have to keep moving. My son been skip few times at Paredes by characters in perades. We don't complain

This was very racist period. BLIND TO BLACK PERIOD. THERE ARE OTHER CHARACTERS TO WATCH AND SUPPORT BLK FOLKS TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.

Agreed...anyone trying to justify the incident considering everything else available to see online is clearly just peeved at the insinuation that this *could* be a racial issue. I couldn't confirm that that's the case, but the optics aren't great.

Yea right......the mom is money hungry. All you got to do is say "racism" and it's a lawsuit. What color was the person in the costume?????? Thought so

@@itsintheword230 No one knows the color of the person. Acknowledging the situation so people are aware. I don't know if they'll get a payout or not. My job requires us to take sensitivity courses to respect everyone regardless of gender or color.

@@justvon3890 so if you don't know the person's color in the costume then how are you going to automatically call it racism? I tell you how because as long as it there is a black person that can play the victim they're going to automatically assume that it's a white person doing it to them. If you don't have the facts that you can't cry racism if you don't know the intention then you can cry racism So based on that alone this is a get rich quick scheme. All because a person in a costume didn't shake some kids hands all of a sudden it's a racial issue? What's happening is that people are over sensitive and look for any way to get rich by capitalizing on the race war nonsense. I'm a black man and I see clear as day that this is ridiculous and foolishness and when you look at the video you see the same Disney character not shake the hands of a white man but I guess the white guy has a reason to cry racism too right? Or is it that only black people can do it? Have you ever been in one of those costumes? I have and you can easily not see people under your chest area because of that huge mask on the top of your head. It is very possible that the person in the costume didn't even see the kids. This is not even going to affect those kids at all, 2 years from now they'll be happy and skipping playing with kids of all races and being just fine in life the unfortunate thing is that you have their parents looking for any way to cry racism and hire black attorney with the hopes of cashing in and that's all this is

@@itsintheword230 BS. I would do the same thing if that happened to my child. It was disgusting

@@kingwinky1914 Well customer service sucks now days, i suppose is because of racism 😂 Crybaby

Kinda hard to justify high five-ing and hugging only the white kids, totally snubbing the black ones.

And the hundreds of other children with complections with whom the character interacted, but weren't trying to get pictures taken?

Exactly. It was probably a simple mistake

I think a guide would be a great idea, it would also help prevent accidents like tripping or bumping into kids on top of ensuring as many kids get seen as possible plus to help with family photos so it feels like a real family experience.

Stop making excuses.

@@TacoJ1LL well he made a valid point, he had a guide with him which is an excellent solution. I never was in one of those costumes although I can only imagine how insanely hot they are and how obstructed your sight and hearing is. Mistakes or out right exclusion/racism aside, having a guide with all of these types of characters would help to ensure inclusion, safety, and just a better all around experience for everyone and help insure bone of this happens. Plus if there is any discrimination, the guide can report it and action can be taken.

If they didn't see the kids, why did the blatantly shake their head no????

Exactly...I imagine that the legal part really wasn't the initial reaction from the parents. I think they posted the video FIRST about showing their kids being ignored, highlighting the sadness of exclusion of their babies. THEN the video took off, and suddenly, other parents were posting similar videos...now it's a potential pattern...and one that should be addressed...which is where we are now. Anyone saying this is about money (for the parents of the affected children) either doesn't have kids or doesn't really care for their kids. Any normal parent would go to some extreme measures to make sure their kids thrive in the world...literally changing the world if they need to.

Hmmm so the kids will be ok, let's ignore this obvious racist behavior strictly because they were black. It's people like you that give this behavior a pass and ask black people to turn the other cheek like John Lewis who turned the other cheek and got punch in the other cheek and smiled. That time is ove. I wouldn't be surprised if you were some black liberal.

They weren’t rejected they we’re standing over the yellow line and the character told them that. It’s a safety issue and that’s why they didn’t high five the kids because they we’re breaking the rules. If they would have listened and took 2 steps back he would have shook their hands. Notice how the 2 lil girls are the only ones over the line

@@StackedOdds76 oh…I didn’t realize that you were there and so familiar with the rules that are posted absolutely nowhere on their site. Good to see that only those who saw it a certain way were the ones making assumptions and we should be ashamed of those 2 kids for breaking arbitrary rules that others seemed to be breaking in other videos…thank you for setting the world straight as the spokesperson and employee of the Sesame Place!

@Mirsty ...it's not great optics either.

Exactly, anybody says otherwise is ignorant

If its a black woman under there then what? Either way this isnt cause for lawyers and a lawsuit

from what?

LOL

Yep I saw this. I'm not defending racism but this wasn't it.

They don't seem to have a problem paying attention to all the White kids. I have seen the characters going up to White kids who weren't even reaching out to them for attention and giving them big hugs. Now that is ridiculous.
