Sesame Place under fire as new questions emerge about alleged racial bias 

Thought the same too

Umm.. Why does it take multiple videos. One video is enough for me.

Lmao it's weird, when there's video of a black person doing wrong we *never EVER* hear "what happened BEFORE the video started rolling" "we need more context" the video is all that is needed But when Black people catch non black people disrespecting us *on video* all we hear is "what happened BEFORE the video started rolling" "what's the context" "maybe the 5 yrs old black girl cussed at the characters" "maybe the mom was too close" .. every excuse is made before you non black people admit it's racist

@@cuprunnethover2509 It's to find conduct patterns on the character and discard the possibility of a misunderstanding

​@@cuprunnethover2509 Because a large swath of the American population is in denial that racism still exists. Or they're ok with it.

They crossed the yellow safety line. If the parent cant control the kids then they miss out. Kids should sue the parent

@Craig Snyder what ever

@Craig Snyder lol

The management probably made Rosita ignore those girls, they trying to make Rosita the fall guy, and they probably had a policy of their whole staff to ignore black kids.

Truth!

They been doing this for s while and is comfortable doing it,because they never been exposed or called out about it .

The person didn't see them or they didn't want to pick them up because they can't they did nothing wrong

@@conservativedragon The kids were not asking to be picked up , they just wanted a hug and high five ,just like what the white people right next to them got . Somehow they saw all the people that were white ,but the two black girls are invisible? They were even calling out the characters name Rosita ,so they could not hear them either ?

Exactly, I agree. The character’s head moved downward, as if looking at a child’s’ height level, not upward as if looking at a taller adult.

@Josh Schmidt maybe we should ship your kind to yet another ‘uncharted desert isle’.

I don't think you want to quantify a baseline for human decency. You might be surprised to find who doesn't meet those standards.

@@ButtSolution we can start with the majority of Supreme Court justices...

👏🏽

No proof it was racist

Unless you have put on the costume and walked the parade route, you can't assume anything. A pilot and a passenger's view are different even though they're traveling in the same direction.

After them! After them! Get them! Get them! Cancel them! Guilt by accusation...

@@boxesbinslidsllc The character didn't only see them, he waved his hand "no" right in front of their faces. You can believe it isn't racism, but you can't honestly say he didn't see them when he directly acknowledged them.

Right

Big Bird and his mates are Racist?

That's good because you aren't wanted there

@@MuadDib_ Why thank you😁

😂

Um, you ARE stupid. They didn't ignore these children and ya'll don't care about proof or reality. I'll bet you voted for Biden, which further proves my point.

How about showing us more than just short clips of kids getting ignored with no context as to how the rest of the kids were treated at that same parade? These short clips from different parades prove nothing other than their child was ignored, or skipped over. We don't know how many other children of different races were skipped over that day. This "proof" so far would not hold up in court.

@@DarkPassenger exactly!!!

@@DarkPassenger THEYRE ALL ON GOOGLE! DO YOUR OWN DAMN RESEARCH

@@shantellakaladypersephone8671 I did, can you read?

You mean Carmen Osbahr?

I Wonder if the hole cast knows

@@jaylencninjaturtlesandbarn3454 I'm sorry your grammar is totally wrong. That sentence is grammatically incorrect.

@@QueenofVHS I mean ok

@@jaylencninjaturtlesandbarn3454 You shouldn't be commenting on a public news page if your grammar is wrong, Sesame Street or not. At least know the difference between "whole" and "hole." I'm being harsh but it'll help in the future. It seems like the entire American school system has failed you.

Yes, just that quick In therapy Money grab

No riots and Looting?

Bet you are white.Thats why they treated your group with respect.

Agree

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

True! Learn while you are young. Let it be a teaching moment. You are black. You have to work twice or even three times as hard. The devil hates you and uses people to hurt you. Some people expect you to fail. Education is power! As long as God is with you, nobody can stop you! Love💖 to all!!!!

Okay that's one solution but then what if it happens at Disneyland, Disneyworld, Hershey Park etc.? What then, so let's not take the kids to any parks with mascots? Accountability has to be taken.

@@AFruitfulBough No, it doesn’t. Just don’t go there! Their stock prices will drop! They’ll fire people! Don’t support them by going there! I won’t let someone who mistreats get my money!

@@robeyreed2499 this is poor logic. Not going to the place and waiting until stocks drop and the subsequent firing misses the systemic change that may need to happen there. It's not as simple as just only to say "don't go there"

@@Montfortracing It’s sound logic’s, if people don’t want me, I just don’t go there. Just post a video them, boycott them and they will get the message!

@@robeyreed2499 And if everyone else never says anything and everyplace ignores you then you can just stay home right?

That's how they have always felt. They were raised that way.

Stop with victim mindset. 😒

Whites are nothing but racists yet everyone praises them. Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics are not racists yet everyone ignores them. Sad

Right? I thought complaining to the manager means you're a Karen.

Me neither.

That's the media for you. Always trying to stir up trouble.

@@happydaysarehereagain-g1l Sad, but true.

Because the people who tell others to get over it are Karens. It personally doesbt effect or bother them UNTIL it happens to them then all of a sudden they start complaining and crying saying that their kids got snubbed and act like the victims. It's a joke honestly I feel so sorry for those poor children because that must have felt very terrible and hurtful. 🙁😔

We tell our kids. That person was a jerk or was too preoccupied. Move on, and learn. To accept that the world doesn't revolve around us. Whatever they did, is their problem.

@@Deadassbruhfrfr Preoccupied with nothing you mean? Wanting to not be a victim of racist doesn’t mean the whole world revolve around you. Telling victims of flagrant racist to just shut up and deal with it, is perfect reminder that you’re the ideological descendent of the people who opposed MLK and the civil rights movement because black people should just accept second tier status. No. This woman is a hero for bringing her complaints to the forefront and if that makes a quasi bigot like you mad, you know she’s on the right track.

@@dragonflarefrog1424 lol okay.

Exactly! Not a single video has surfaced of the same happening to WHITE CHILDREN. It's disgusting and the people who want to blow it off as just a "coincedence" are equally disgusting

I agree with you. From the research I have been doing, as well as writing everything down in my journal and talking to people who do costume character work, as well as watch the video multiple times, and read Sesame Place’s first statement, I know the truth for myself. I have watched the other videos as well, and I don’t see any of the characters being racist. I saw the characters didn’t see them, or make a ‘no’ gesture if a child was doing something that was against park rules, but no racism. Once again, the media has been playing with peoples emotions. I will never understand why the media plays with other peoples emotions, and I honestly never will.

U don't treat kids like that an there is more video dummy

Agree!!!

I’m black, and this is not racist to me. I know the truth. I have seen the proof. It is not racist. The media is creating a narrative, and it’s pissing me off. Now the employees have to live in fear, be bullied, and have their mental ruined, and maybe their lives ruined because people want to call them “racist” instead of just talking to them.

@Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman...Assuming you're not black or brown, oh how I wish you were right now so you could see and feel. The race card is imaginary, created by those with no clue or experience of this real life BS. Our whole life is discrimination on redial. Imagine what its like to be in brown and black skin, and daily have to fight off being denied and subjected to constant disrespect in different ways because of it, from the time you arise til you close your eyes at night. You have no idea, none at all of the deep rooted entangled web. So refrain from the sarcasm, its not helping.

@@missy652 I will say this, you’re experience is valid. But to group in a black individual like myself in and say that I have the same experience is you is confusing. I have been discriminated against for think differently than the community, but for not having the same opinions as everyone. And that is very sad.

@Rare Rock You would be a terrible parent

maybe rosetta is afraid to hug blacks incase they get triggered!

Facts but it's still sad

🤣😂🤣 - 💯

@@drquinnmedicinewoman7786 Giving a high five is not hugging , it is cleare the little girls just wanted a high five . Why do you think black people will get triggerd if they hug the children ? All black people are not the same just like all whites are not the same , you cannot generalize .

I use to work at chuckie cheese and it’s really hard to see down in the costume. Also it’s standard for the kids to be on stage at eye level so you can see them. My god not everything is about race, think about the employees making barely minimum wage in that hot costume.

The march has a rate of movement. One cannot stop for anyone.

Except for the fact that the puppet gave hi-fives to one white little girl and one white adult prior to snubbing the two little black girls. You, yourself, are part of the problem.

Of course you see what you wanna see.

They didn’t pass the yellow line ? They were leaning forward a little to reach out for the character. Little odd if you have to lean forward even though you are outside of bounds.

just high five the kids

That is a very good point you made. I’m going to look more into that rule for my research.

There are videos of this similar behavior towards other black kids.

@@tjr4459 -Exactly! There multiple videos, and if anyone cared to view them they’re easily found. I’m not at all surprised by the op’s discourse as it’s typical of certain archetypes. They’re quick to dismiss the experiences of others.

I’m pretty sure this person is racist or at least is just shitty. Sesame Place said that they were saying no to a mother because she wanted Rosita to hold their infant. It’s only when Brown’s attorney claimed that he had video evidence of that not being true. He said he would let them fix this issue before he releases it. That’s when Sesame Place made another apology saying “that it wasn’t ok.” That tells me that their first apology was a lie and it wasn’t until they got threatened that they decided to really try and save their skin.

yup, how many kids you think they see a day, and how many go unnoticed, but because a video of two black kids skipped which probs happens to any kid 200 times a day. idk this seems like the wrong thing to get mad at without facts. but then again a dude can shoot up a police station and still get support so idk

@@tjr4459 Where?

@Timothah Molone that's completely racist.

Can I be your friend

I'm not trying to provoke division as we should all love one another. if this was truly a misunderstanding, then so be it; but if not, then the employee should be held accountable.

A women who says she's dressed as rosita at a different park claims that you can see in the costume, there's a little lever they use to open the mouth slightly so they can see and if they hold they're head up they can see put of the eyes.

Funny she forgot to video tape that part. Only videos what works to start a lawsuit is always shown nothing from the beginning to the end only what will benefit their claims of racism and money... Always a circus show wherever they go...your going to always see a show wheather it be claims of racism, rioting, violence with guns when in large groups killing each other more than any other ethnic groups combined and yet racism is their biggest problem.. of course the only thing that pays money is to ride the racism train.. Nothing to benefit with anything else. I guess people don't have any morels anymore just their hands out to hard to work for anything easier to have it handed to you... Maybe we should start suing as well when cities are burned down and looting. When they kill each other and cost taxes payers more money to house them. Repeat offenders in prison we tax payers having to foot the bill over and over which the majority pays in the most which are white with a population of 267,000,000 and black people 44,000,000 and cause the most crimes all around let's start digging in those pockets

No I have seen other video evidence of the employee doing the same thing to other black children. It did seem like the employee did saw them since the employee seem to wave them off instead of walking pass them.

Said the person whose never walked a parade route a day in their life. The family was offered a personal meet and greet, way better than a simple high five.

SERIOUSLY???? ... You're really trying to defend the indefensible???? Me thinks you need to do some research (as in, look at the multitude of videos) of the "Sesame Place "experience" on that day and note "who" was and wasn't "high fived" ..... You must be an Azizona Republican; they don't have any integrity, either ....

I thought the same thing until other videos were posted of the same charAfter walking pass black children theres 5 different videos

The child was a WHITE baby 👶 she knew it was not those little girls it's 2022 racism is still alive and probably will always be here

I would have went for a lot of the excuses....UNTIL others produced more videos of the same character not acknowledging little black kids & then acknowledging white kids beside them. In this case, you can't look directly at 2 kids, express NO to them through gestures & then claim you didn't see them. We all have preferences whether we admit it or not; however, you can't discriminate against innocent kids. Its disgusting!

You really look for a defense for this fool

There are more videos out now and she kept doing it , she even leaned towards a small black child then pulled away giving a white adult a high 5 .

They didn't get seen they can't pick up people

@@conservativedragon it's literally at a child's amusement park if they can't see children why be in costumes going around in a parade?! The park and experiences are supposed to be centered around children of their exact age and even younger and smaller so why should the characters only pay attention to tall kids and adults???

Exactly, Seasme Place management probably told Rosita to ignore those girls, this is why the Rosita character should explain itself.

Man so you can even get a woman? Ño wonder you troll the internet like the loser you are.

You’re not a little kid anymore

Actually, the media said you were asking for it.

Did you refuse to high five the woman's small daughter?

I’ve dress as a mascot as well and this was intentional. I’m 5.3 and I could barely see and I hugged , wave and high-five every child I could , didn’t matter the race 👶🏻👶🏽👶🏿 I didn’t think much of until other videos surfaced … and there is not one video of the Rosita hugging one black kid it’s really sad and traumatizing Self esteem starts young in kids mindset , and this is heartbreaking 💔

Everything report this comment as bullying

Unfortunately. I’m so tired of this nonsense. If you don’t like Sesame Place, don’t go.

I agree with you 100%. And your right! It isn’t racism! I talked to one of the employees myself. They said it wasn’t racism. The media is making up lies, and people are editing videos to suit a narrative. I’m not for that narrative. It’s not racism. It’s a misunderstanding.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xlABV5ver-w.html... Naaa Dave warned us already

There were characters that I saw at the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Parade when I was little. A lot of them didn’t see me. I wasn’t hurt. I just smiled and moved one.

Empathy?

cause race got us all to click on the video

Latinos always cry racism are you even legal 😏🙄

you must be white .. dont dismiss others feelings if you yourself haven’t experienced it yourself

@@peekabooaleah1507 You don't know me.

Wow I never knew when I high five someone I'm actually trying to pick them up, LAME EXCUSE!

@@MedalMedia I wasn’t talking about the high five, where did I mention that?

@@babygurl4492 What's the difference between hold kids and pick them up? Did sesame trash hold kids in this video?

I’ve dress as a mascot as well and this was intentional. I’m 5.3 and I could barely see and I hugged , wave and high-five every child I could , didn’t matter the race 👶🏻👶🏽👶🏿

Sesame trash was high fiving everyone, but hand gestures no and shakes head no to black kids wanting high five.
