How about giving free housing and giving free grants to the people willing to take down gangs? Nope, just condemn them and put your life at risk. The government has technology to see ant from space but can't see gangs selling drugs on the corner? The prison system and court system makes billions off criminals. You think they want that shit to completely stop? People want black people to go against gangs in our community. Ok, where's the free housing,free grants, witnesses protection, and job placement that comes with that? If you can't give reparations to blacks,then give something to the ones that's suffering in the hood and want no part of the criminal activity. You don't try to stop criminal activity in the black community. You simply give something to the ones that don't participate in criminal activity.

Glad the video of the incident did not edit out the clearly part black kid (Nathan's kid is also part black) who the red muppet high fived before the muppet low fived Nathan's daughter Oliver. So the red muppet isn't racist, maybe Nathan should just claim the red muppet favored boys? Nathan is enabling his daughter to be a woke Karen and someone who is hyper race sensitive where no racism, at least in this incident, exists, not a good thing. Nathan should apologize to Sesame street Seaworld.

you tend to see the most racist of people are the ones who are constantly bringing up the subject of race in any average situation, and always preach the so-called betterment of their own race, and feel it is okay to slander other races but cry out to be victims of racism in situations that had nothing to do with race

At this point the only thing that companies can do, other than training the staff on being fair and kind to all kids, is to make it a rule of Cast will have NO contact with guest : No hand shake, NO high fives, NO hugs, just wave 👋. As well as adding a disclaimer when purchasing tickets of their no physical contact with characters rule. It should state that parents are responsible for making sure their children are aware of this rule and make sure they abide by it. So parents will know that it's not personal it's just the best rule so no kids feelings get hurt. There's no other way around it. Otherwise this will keep happening, and the law suits will keep piling up.

In the first video it just looks like that character starts to notice 2 hands reaching instead of just one so he tries to give both children some attention one hand starts reaching then with his other hand he acknowledges the little girl, maybe not as good if she was alone but he did. Those suits are kind of awkward to be in and use, you cant feel those hands very good since they are fake hands, they may look floppy but the one inside may be trying to manage the hands of the costume the best they can.

[@figureskating2724]

We agree in this situation. It looks like the character tried to do both children at once. He/she even looked back at the child. We felt the character tried in this situation. However, it seemed like the other one that the character is possibly being racist. Characters need to do a better job of acknowledging the children. Unfortunately, racism exists and has gotten worse recently. It's hard to know people claiming racism when it didn't actually occurs. However, people that are racist and people falsely claiming racism will get theirs in the end. They know they are wrong in both situations and God knows too. It's sad that racism exists. One time we don't see racism is at sporting events. All races mix together to support their team and even go against their own race.

I believe if any character is going to be out there touching hands of children, then it should be only fair that he touched the hands of all children and not some , this is what started this whole drama, instead of these characters touching hands especially those that don't like children why even be in a character costume? They should probably just throw out candy, flowers, something that does not involve them touching or close to anybody, and that will solve a lot of this problem, they can even throw out buttons with their character pictures on them, why start a war of racism, and train your child's mind not to think evil but not to get upset when they are treated different than others, they will grow with that mentality and they will be happier in life, make your own little happiness and your own neighborhood and your own community with your own family.
