Sesame Street's Rosita Ignores Black Kids At Park, Causes Outrage In U.S.(Video) by Explorers(m): 5:07am On Jul 21, 2022 |
Sesame Street has been slammed as racist after video surfaced of a character actor in costume seemingly ignoring two young black girls wanting to say hello. A mom, who goes by __jodiii__ on Instagram, said her daughters were 'blatantly told no' when they tried to confront Rosita, a bilingual Muppet character from Mexico, at the Sesame Place amusement park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. A nine-second clip of the encounter shows the two girls eagerly reaching out toward Rosita, who then visibly dismisses them as she walks by. Their mom claims the actor then proceeded to 'hug the little white girl next to us.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9K0gmDTHVo [YouTube] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11032529/Attorney-girls-ignored-Rosita-Sesame-Place-refuses-believe-actor-didnt-them.html?ito=social-facebook 4 Likes 1 Share

The theme park has issued several contradicting statements about the incident since the video was posted over the weekend by Jodi Brown who took her daughter Skylar and niece Nylah, both 6, to the park on Saturday. In a statement on Sunday, theme park officials called the now viral moment a 'misunderstanding,' saying the mascot likely did not see the girls due to limited vision in the costume's unwieldy mask. 1 Like 1 Share

The attorney representing the family of two young girls he claims were ignored by a Sesame Place actor dressed as Rosita is calling for the performer to be fired. 'We reject any notion that the performer's actions were not short of intentional,' he said, asking: 'How come they could see everybody else?' 'The only acceptable action is for this performer to be terminated.' One of the young girls, Nylah Brown, stood silent as the press conference continued 27 Likes 2 Shares

So much going on right now on the world. Understanding each other is the key. The performer's excuse is unacceptable and Sesame Street's post worsened the whole thing. Are we even any different in Nigeria? 34 Likes |

Too bad, I can imagine the pain those kids felt at the moment they were ignored. The vast difference between the among people is in the reason of character, not anatomy. They need to understand this simple message the same way most Nairalanders keep fighting each other on the tribal end. We are first humans before other socio-factors or differences. ![]() ![]() You might need my signature assistance, kindly check it out. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
