Sesame Place Philadelphia under fire after Black mother says character ignored daughters

The kids' theme park in Philadelphia apologized, calling the incident involving a performer dressed as Rosita a "misunderstanding."A mother of two young Black girls is calling out Sesame Place Philadelphia after she says her daughters were intentionally dismissed by a performer dressed as a Sesame Street character over the weekend, sparking a fierce backlash online.

on instagram Sunday that the costumes its performers wear “sometimes make it difficult to see at lower levels” and that sometimes “performers miss hug requests from guests.”

BREAKING NEWS!!! BLM just looted and burned down Sesame Street.

Very sick and sad

Media has created a class of victimhood

Sesame streets statement solves this fake drama easily. The workers literally African American

That character is obviously a bluish-greenish supremacist.

If you think a 5-second video clip is “proof” of systemic racism at SesamePlace, or even that the particular performer is racist, then you probably shouldn’t serve on a jury. justsayin

But then you do this

Ahahaha….once again NBC ~ if EVERYTHING is racist, then nothing is

This kind of race baiting is just goofy. Come the fuck on.

There are several examples of these actions. I've seen 3 videos so far. It's not a coincidence. It's a pattern.

Liberal media making up stuff again for race war stuff

Is this really an issue?

Just go ahead and write the check.

When everything is an outrage, nothing is outrageous.

Does NBC have any idea how irresponsible & harmful a 'story' like this is or are they just going for the clickbait & do not care. America has got to train itself to stop stoking racism at every single opportunity. I've never seen a country so concerned with skin colour.

Microtransgression.

And they also said no to the white lady immediately prior lol. This is such a ridiculous race baiting story.

such a non story, those performers can barely see. just another pity me and give me money parent.

'Seemed to show.' Yeah, like that video of the Indian getting in the face of the Covington kid 'seemed to show.'

I have seen reports that it’s more related to calling the character by the wrong name. This was done to many people of multiple skin colors. Could it have been handled better? Yes. Was it racial? No.

Was the little one standing over the yellow line? That may have been the problem?

LOL, looks like Rosita played the typical anti black Latina too well. Bonus points if the person in the costume is Latino.

We need to stop encouraging victimhood.

The character literally high fives two folk of white descent and than looked at the pretty blk girls said No and walked past. I am not saying it's racism but what else is it Even the babies felt and knew they were intentionally ignored.
