THIS DISGUSTING person blatantly told our kids NO then proceeded to hug the little white girl next to us!” the mother wrote on Instagram. “Then when I went to complain about it, they looking at me like I’m crazy.
Sesame Place acknowledged Monday it’s aware of the incident, saying in a statement it’s “taking actions to do better.”“We sincerely apologize to the family for their experience in our park on Saturday; we know that it’s not OK. We are taking actions to do better. We are committed to making this right,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “We will conduct training for our employees so they better understand, recognize and deliver an inclusive, equitable and entertaining experience to our guests.
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street and licensed partner of Sesame Place, called what happened “unacceptable” and instructed Sesame Place workers to undergo bias training.

Strip the person from their suit, it’s a disgrace to the Sesame Street character
The performer happens to be black. Who's the racists? The parents are. And you are....shameful.

“Appears to show..”. Gee, the most racist station in the City can’t wait for the facts.
Did they get fired? And if not why not?
That’s it!!!!! An apology 🤬
Bert did the same thing to my 2 grand daughters.
That's happened to my white kids and I....never thought to publicly complain. I hope the Mom or whoever doesn't tell those girls it's because you're black.
Never relax

Sesame Place facing backlash after mother posts video of daughters being ignored by theme park characterA mother is speaking out on social media after she says a theme park character at Sesame Place ignored her children and greeted others. Sesame Place has since released a statement, but the mother alleges the park is just trying to save their appearance. The park has security cameras along the parade route. I think they already know that there is no 'white child' near those girls who got hugged by this character. This feels contrived. Given the big population of minority guests who attend this park, a guilty worker would be gone. Just another Karen looking for views and attention Yes of course. Lol
