Parents Claim Sesame Place Characters Snubbed Their Black Children

Yep definitely fascist. America needs an education. The only education you have is in trigger words like fascism and socialism. You don't even know what it means. Fascism is governmental system in which a dictator rules and opposition is not allowed. Fascists, are people who believe in that type of society. Please tell me what in any of this makes you think they're fascist? They could 100% believe in democracy and still be racist. This is racist, not fascist.

I find it hard to believe the person inside the suit couldn’t see the girls. The mouth was literally at eye level with the 2 girls, she waved no in their direction, (making it seem like she was waving no to just the other women), and very clearly saw them because otherwise why didn’t she run into them accidentally? I thought you didn’t see them? Quite obvious what happened.

[@jakasmfkr8780]

The character didn't see the girls plain and simple. Another misunderstanding that continues to contribute to the fueling of the black communities to cry foul when there clearly was no racially motivated intent. I fell bad that these beautiful young impressionable girls felt left out or passed over. But I feel even more sorry for them that they are now being groomed to play the race card at such a young age when things didn't go there way. It doesn't strengthen their future in society, it only weakens it and cement's there perspective of living a life of disadvantage. The longer you cry "its not fair" the longer it's going to seem that is the case. Rodney King was beaten by four clearly racist cops and this brilliant man still had the courage to stand up and say "hey, Lets learn from this terrible experience I endured and lets move forward. He said "can't we all just get along" but he was really saying I know we all can get along. Forgive and move forward. The longer we look for reason's to live in the past, the longer it will feel like we haven't moved even an inch forward. Keep crying wolf when there clearly is no wolf, eventually nobody is going to care to hear you're cry of wolf. The character didn't see the girls. Let it go and move forward. The Jakasmfkr.

[@juliejules7780]

I'm just trying to figure out why there's such a big hullabaloo about this ten second video with limited evidence and apparently the 10 black people that got shot at that supermarket are forgotten about which was proven to be about race.

[@jakasmfkr8780]

​The big hullabaloo is over the sense of entitlement black people have and the instant reaction they have when they detect even the slightest hint that they "may" have been wronged because of the color of their skin. The parent has effectively damaged those kids for life far deeper than any theme park character could possibly ever do by not honestly seeing them. The airline industry has been forced to cancel and delay hundreds of flights because they can not meet the current demand post covid. It's only a matter of time before black people start suing the airlines claiming their flight was canceled because there are black people on the flight manifest.

I'm not being racist but to be honest I stopped taking my kids to Sesame Street because the those who go there are just filthy and disgusting, they pee in the pools and water everywhere to the point you feel like youre walking into a public bathroom when you go to the lazy river. The other thing is that they smoke weed all over the place even though it is a place meant for kids. It is just plain disgusting.
