- In an NBC10 exclusive, a former Sesame Place employee shared insight to the training performers receive at the recently-embattled Bucks County theme park. NBC10’s Deanna Durante reports.
It’s not about training, it’s about hiring the right people.
Exactly
What is the right people?
@@KS-kw1gb People who know not to be racist or prejudice in the first place…
Next time they should hire whites
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 Worker was black in one of these so-called incidents. lmao
If you need training to at least acknowledge all children you don’t need to work there. This has obviously happened to many times. It doesn’t do any good to make excuses, also you’re dealing with children and the bottom line is there is damage being done. Parents have to be vigilant in teaching their children exactly who they are so something like this doesn’t crush them.
The character was black
There is no racism here because the person in the Rosita costume MUST be Mexican otherwise, they would be calling it cultural appropriation!
@Dark Titan she doesn't know that, she's being a troll
@@becky4728 technically Rosita the character is Mexican, but still a monster of color nontheless.
So Becky is clearly making a point that was way over your head. U don't even n what race is under that mask. Also everyone complaining should try there job before crying racism.
He might be motioning at a different person initially, but he DEFINITELY intentionally ignored the little girls
Don't make excuses for bad behavior
Imagine thinking the world cares about your feelings
FACTS
But that claim has been proven false via a video of the same interaction from a different angle. It's from a person adjacent to them and there is no baby. There isn't someone holding up their toddler requesting pictures. It's complete bullshit and yeah they very well may have a" no picture" rule but it seems like that excuse was used out of convenience and not the facts of what took place.
Then.....who is the character wagging her finger at before waiving off the two children?
It wasn’t specifically a baby. The white woman rosita high fives is the one who asked to hold her kid.
You're such a victim. 🤡
@@ms-terious exactly.
Yes it is bull shit
2:17..
That Performer SEEN those lil Girls.. she said no to the adult then looked DOWN.... then said no to the little girls and moved to the next family..
IF this was one incident id be like eehhh.. but there are well over 20 of these videos floating around.. its NOT an isolated incident.
After the first video went viral, every nonwhite person who has footage of their kid being ignored by a costumed character there (out of potentially thousands of such videos happening to everyone) shared it and joins the news frenzy (and probably the lawsuit for serious $$.) This is what is called a “sample bias” and it can fool a lot of people.
@@AbsentMinded619 The fact it happened to MULTIPLE people who brushed it off as a bad experience is NOT ok....
People that are discriminated against in 2022 deserve compensation.. its ridiculous we still have people that are racist.. its a level of Ignorance we should have out grown by the 1980s -_-
No no no....this is really messed up 🤦🏾♀️ Rosita is that character that I feel represents or is relatable for the Hispanic/Latino population. Sesame Place and Sesame Street need to show the audience that Rosita's character is not racist because she is not. Now the actual person in the costume is another thing. In my opinion, instead of saying no, just wave and move on. Everybody gets a wave🤷🏾♀️ I totally understand about the baby situation that is a liability. On a serious note. The characters in these costumes slapping the kids or rudely bumping into them need to check themselves, before they get checked out by a parent.
No excuse for the employees.
All children must feel equal and know they are loved by these characters. Im a teacher and I always make sure each child is loved and cared for each day.
She motioned no to those little girls not a baby. They saw this and the kids were heartbroken. She waved no at the people before and clearly looked at those kids and shook her finger no!! Thanks for trying to rectify the situation but no..
I so agree with you. They looked at those babies and shrugged them off. If you are at a park for children why are they looking and communicating with the big people and not the little one. If they are there for the kids then why not look at the kids. It seems he just trying to stick up for his friend.
Well at least he's not white it's a black man sticking up for it so that should make you feel a little bit better
At this point Sesame place has basically admitted that Rosita ignored those kids... she actually looks at those kids waves no to the kids
Exactly
It was a black teen. Now what?
@@becky4728 Link?
And if so she's still dead as wrong for dubbin her own people
@@becky4728 but it wasn’t ?
@@becky4728 bitches be lying it was a Hispanic but American culture is disrespecting black men is the norm
It’s crazy how it would be a black person that was stand up for them even when the wrong is being done to our people we still don’t stand up for our own kind
sorry Bro😭 yeah its crazy a black person sticking up for Anyone let alone a racist Green 🧟♀🧟♂🧟Monsters running around .😂🤣
Right? I tried to listen and be open minded about what he was saying, but no matter how you try to look at the footage it's still a very damning look on the Rosita actor's part.
He’s standing up for the workers not the park. This isn’t Disney we’re employee get the proper training they need. How about before you talk you try wearing one of those huge suits that you can hardly see out of and then talk
it happens often
He’s the only one in this discussion who actually understands the context of what happened. Most everyone else is acting like a real person made racial slurs instead of a kid in a giant stuffy puppet suit trying his or her best.
I am so sick of saying that training was improper...who the heck has to show you how to be a decent human being to kids....I pray they once were a kid...its uncalled for and never ok. I was once a child care director and a camp counselor, who has to show you that you need to make sure a kid has to have attention and be safe and acknowledge them at all times.
Point missed lmao. The employee IS a kid genius, kids make mistakes
@@zyereid4561 No point missed. I am very accurate and direct. A kid should know how that if you have a job that you are being paid for it's obvious that you are suppose to follow your job description and common sense. So do not come at me with the character that was being protraded was just a kid. Kids got more sense then adults sometime..so wrong come back.
@@meeka2702 sure is easy to say behind a screen lmao
@@zyereid4561 No I'm not hiding anything. I'm stating my thoughts n opinions
@@meeka2702 and refusing to listen to experience and knowledge
Why was the character at eye level with the adults when they should be looking down to acknowledge the little ones? The theme park is for children, not overzealous adults.
Who cares. It's not that serious.
Kids are often being held by parents or on parents shoulders. They are waving at those kids too.
What does a picture have to do with at least HIGH FIVING those little girls. Also why would this news show go out and get a person who supports the person in the costume when the park has apologized for what they have seen and have stated that culture training is needed. The person in the costume clearly looked down at the children and said NO with a hand gesture. Let's not be disingenuous, what we saw is clear. Let's just do something about it!
The park has put out a statement that they want all kids to have a good experience and they will do everything theyan to work toward that.
They have said the person in the costume did anything intentional that was wrong. They said the performer is devastated over this.
Why would the news not interview a person who had experience at the park just because he didn't suit an agenda?
This is such a goofy take. You “saw” nothing. A teen in a puppet suit cannot talk, emote, or gesture effectively. They’re very limited and can’t see or hear much, which is why theme parks usually give them a non-suited guide. This was a PARADE, no way the character had time to hug or even high-five every person.
This is a very “Emperor’s New Clothes” situation. “Yes, I see the racism too!” You can interpret a doll suit’s intentions any way you want, since they can’t talk or even make facial expressions. We’re basically strip-mining the bottom of Earth’s crust looking for systematic racism now. No one even knows the race of the supposed “villain” here.
@@AbsentMinded619 Well said.
The first no was to someone else but the character then looked down at the girls and waved no. I call bull.
So you're ok with the character saying no to someone else and not the kids?
Most likely the performer didn’t have time to hug the girls because he/she was already lagging behind at the parade. To assume racism is so crazy that the whole fuss over it seems like we’re all in a South Park episode.
@@AbsentMinded619 For real!
Not all skin folk are kin folk!!!! He is a 🤡! This happened not once but three times! Also there wasn't a baby! There are muliple recording s of this incident from different angles!
There were also a ton of character performers from other theme parks too including Disney land coming forward and calling bullshit about the person inside Rosita not noticing those kids.
I'm all for being open minded and trying to find an logical explanation to everything, but there sadly is no excuse for this situation here. Especially when you have other visitors going there to have fun and they end up confirming the same kind of racist stuff happening to some of them too.
If you're looking for a problem, you can always find it.
You are demonstrating something called selection bias, which is the driving fallacy behind the hysteria around this almost certainly non-racist, unintentional offense. Like Kyle Rittenhouse or Jussie Smollet (or more recently, the Duke/BYU kerfluffle) this is an national intelligence test. And lots of people are failing.
I got a solution how about not ignoring anyone and you won't have no problem
Damn y’all stupid stupid lol
I'm waiting for the videos of little white kids being ignored and not getting hugs or high fives. Where are those?
Exactly 👀👀👀👀 don't see them anywhere
@@michelledeanaable I like that reply!Truth to power yaw!
Right?!
@@michelledeanaable did the character hi five Hispanic kids ?
No one cares to look. It's not that serious.
It would be great if somehow they could get Rosita to apologize
Why? They did nothing wrong.
The damage is already done to the children.shes not sorry if she has to be told to apologize
@@alllivesmatter3561 nigga did you make a profile just to say dumb shit where’s your face come on so we can get you fired poor ass nigga
Give me a break. Rosita did nothing wrong.
Rosita probably black. Gotta hide so the narrative can continue.
So as blacks this is what upsets us the most? Since this incident, dozens of black children under the age of 10 have been killed with zero attention.
Thank you! So happy another Black feels the same way. Kids in our culture are getting gunned down every day and this is what we are crying about...come on!
True..what matters to us most
If these same two girls had been gunned down in their sleep, in the same Philadelphia, it would have been a blip on the news and certainly not weeks of national news.
As 'blacks' ????? Fake troll alert ⚠️
@@smoothskin46 That’s what you take from this conversation. You have no real contribution. You could care less.
Anyone with eyes can see how this character looked down directly at these two girls. Was a person sitting or that low in similar height with a baby or wanted pictures? This is clearly disrespect an avoiding these two beautiful girls. No one of an adult age should need counseling, training or education on how to treat human beings equally . This is sssoooo, said an hopefully not traumatizing to these precious children. I say let them be fined, suspension an clear training which seems to be mandatory an needed an the victims rewarded heavily.
Get your eyes checked.
Look again. Rosita waves no at someone before the girls.
Traumatizing? Get real weirdo 😂🤡.
Right, i hate that think we stupid like OK it clesr video that shows the reactions of the character in the kids then she why then she touch hand of a little white kid right next to them so I call bs . 🙄
@@marywilson6354 I’m sure you have it all solved. twitter.com/reid_zye/status/1552698581018185731?s=21&t=eDvbsrQ076b3zbS18JhBcA
The problem Is what made It more controversial that blue monster forgot his name did a no gesture.
Back when I was kid my favorite Seasamstreet character was Elmo whenever I see him I tried to get a high five or better. Only 1 time I got a high 5 from Elmo. But the rest of the time I was miss. I was a lil disappointed. I was 8. But never thought of racism just a miss opportunity.
This family Is just looking for money and attention and using their "Black Privilege"
There is no such thing as Black privilege and there are MULTIPLE videos of this same type of behavior with other Black families
For once we actually have privelage. Wow. That's nice to know that we're almost up there with white privilege now.
Exactly
Be glad you dodged that bullet Elmo is a Perv.
The blue monster is Rosita, and she's a girl.
I like when people do wrong first thing they'll say lack of training you got clowns saying that now police saying that we'll have to give training you don't need training to have common sense to be nice it's something wrong with you if somebody thinks training is the answer thank you so much
Professional victim found
SOME people do need training in order to know how to be professional and kind. Should we fire all those people? 🤔
So get the black guy to say that wasn’t racists. Got it. To the people who agree with him…..what if it were you child, how would you feel. Let’s not forget all those other videos and children who were also ignored. This is ridiculous. These are babies and it’s heart breaking.
Funny how I never said it wasn’t an issue. Just not a racist one.
@@zyereid4561 funny how you are defending that persons actions. He clearly looked at those girls and waved No. I can imagine it’s hard at times to see the little ones BUT not in the instances I saw. They were looking directly at the children. Did you ask yourself if all the people in the world they chose you🤔? They always get the black guy to say it’s not racists. I’m still curious If that had been your child, how would you feel?
To be honest, you would be even more upset if the gentleman was white and trying to explain the situation. And can you really defend the lawsuit for $25 million dollars for what is very well a misunderstanding with the performer? Just get off your high horse.
@@1woman1man61 I didn’t. I explained them. I still think the employee made a mistake, just not a racist one. I believe they could have handled that much better and have told them that myself. You seem to think it’s black and white: I’m either all for sesame or all against. And instances you saw huh? Why is it that you’re now an expert but the person who has seen it thousands of times in person is lying hmm?
@@RyguyAlpha I don’t interact with racist who agree that it’s okay to mistreat children. I wouldn’t care what color they are, children are children. You are RACIST!!!!!!
Jesse Jackson steps in for this but not go throughout the streets of Philadelphia or any city to protest the shooting and killings of their own from their own. Gotta love how they pick and choose the subject matters smh
_Selective_ outrage.
They actually do, just in a different way. They can address the issue themselves. Whereas here they have to rely on other people to correct their bsd behavior. You would know if you actually cared.
And yes, I am speaking as someone who has grown up in a black and Latino neighborhood and have seen Jesse Jackson preach at my church, at my schools, and come to local events, basically working directly with the community in his efforts to find solutions to this problem
He's too old to do all that, he's knocking on 90 door, if he isn't over 90.
Get real
JJ been put in his work+ over time work too many times on the front lines. When his son became a congressman he started working through his son voice.
He does and did
What is the social media policy
To everyone thinking I was specially paid or have some deal: you’re ridiculous. You’re just finding any reason to continue the attack on the employee that you can. I clearly in this interview did NOT defend sesame place. I very clearly stated they have issues (racial ones) that need fixing. If you’re unable to take information from a situation you know literally nothing about, you are as close minded as the “racists” you think you’re fighting.
I was fired alongside other black employees for BS reasons. I know very well where the racism lies within Sesame Place. Y’all saw a 5 sec video and a post of a lawsuit.
Last time I worked there I got paid 7.25.....they used to tell us make sure the kids of all colors don't go up to the parade and characters....and it was a quick greeting as the parade came and Left so did the characters...I see kids try to run and grab and ect I was park quality for winter....and working thier I didn't receive any racism or remarks...I always after work was around hr talking to staff...I was offered to come back twice..not to long ago...I'm not defending I'm just shocked...
These are parents trying to get paid like the leaders of BLM. Thank you for having the courage to speak your mind to the nation.
@@myvt5360 you white supremacists always reveal yourselves
These parents are looking for a payday. There are countless videos of characters showing attention to all children, and yes black children. That itself cancels any racist allegations. If they were racist then the characters would NEVER interact with any black children.
Lol.
This world is amazing. Truth is always stranger than fiction.
I believe this guy not the lawyer
So glad the media's still covering this. Not like there's real issues in the world going on right.
Whenever there's a race problem Involving African Americans whether Is White cops shooting unarmed African Americans or just some stupid bs It's newsworthy.
This story shows people what black Americans are like. Its vital.
@@daftwod this story shows what white Americans are like. Very important
@@ummuhkay Sure. I agree.
But i dont think you realise it makes us look great.
Racism is a real world issue. That is the problem with you people. You make up every excuse in the book is try to throw your behavior under the rug every time it exposed out from under the rug.
People are butthurt by the smallest stuff. If you have a problem with an employee doing their job, then you try to do their job and see how ‘easy’ it is.
If it’s so racist why do I see tons of black families still going there ? In one of the videos Ernie did touch the little black girls hand .. and in the other one you clearly see risita say no to someone else … this whole case screams privileged 🤨
Do you live near Sesame Place? How is it that you know "tons" of black families are still going there?
@@anpdm1 because I was just there. So I saw it with my own eyes. They actually skip people more often because they want their baby held or kids want to be held/cuddled during the parades. It’s a misunderstanding at most
To the people saying he is defending a company he was fired at… he is not. He clearly stated he is not sticking up for the company but instead is sticking up for the performers. These performers and some fans have been sent death threats, and cruel messages regardless if they were or weren’t involved in these situations. These performers are young, get paid minimum wage, and are in a suit that weighs 40 pounds and is over a hundred degrees. Vision is impaled, take your eyes and squint them so your eyelashes are covering it, that’s how you see plus blind spots around your vision hole. It’s tough, the parades run 4 minutes longer than a normal greet session, keep in mind they have choreography to do and have to catch up to the parade all while staying active and multitasking THE WHOLE TIME! CUT👏 THESE 👏 PERFORMERS 👏 SOME👏 SLACK👏!!! Come at me all you want I don’t care but keep in mind when you are you aren’t any better than anyone else sending death threats or harassing these people that range from 16-21 into literal tears, 👋.
Girl bye. Black ppl don’t DEFEND jobs! Let alone ones were FIRED FROM🙄

@@zyereid4561 A BLACK person that defends a job they were fired from! GTFOH! #CentralCasting
@@dav0n lol I didn’t defend the job. Your listening skills suck
@@dav0n Exactly
At 1:11 is a second view of the incident in question...if "Rosita was waving no to a family who wanted a pic with their baby", like the park claims then, where is that family with the baby? I don't see any Baby!!👀👀
Standing next to Rosita to right there is a woman, her son, and you can see her holding her baby.
They keep saying the children were ignored, the character saw them, and waved no”…not nice but wasn’t totally ignored either…
A few seconds of video is not much of a case.
There are multiple videos tho
@@DezaRay24 A few very brief, carefully edited videos to make sure
to create the right effect.
You would have to show multiple instances at the same parade around
the same time to show a true tendency. You would have to show over
multiple contacts that the character avoided a lot of black kids.
I could catch you having a bad moment, carefully edit it and make you
look like a real creep.
Exactly, so you weren’t there to experience what they did. These are children and they need to do better. Quit making excuses
@@1woman1man61 In a court of law you can not suppose what might have been. But using
your own logic you do not know what was in the employee's head at the time or what
they were dealing with with other parade observers.
@@AQuietNight so you are a RUclips lawyer now? Where is basic human decency??? All children should have been greeted equally forget everything else, children are innocent. Everyone can come up with assumptions but even if they play the entire video you will find another reason to blame the children who were ignored. The problem is a lot of you on here have never felt discriminated against so you do r know how it feels but carry on your agenda of the tapes were edited. I can guarantee you non of them were and so many other examples have been shown with the exact same treatment. It’s infuriating to see these children expressing disappointment in characters they they love. So you adults continue your narrative that the kids are to blame. Bottom line it’s just disgusting.
How much they paid him for that statement?
I’m so tired of this fight!!! When is this going to end!!!
This is just another example about how everything can get pulled way out of context. It's clear to see that the costume character was interacting with someone completely different before the interaction with these two young girls and if they're told to get out of the area after a poor interaction that's what the person is doing. Once again it has nothing to do with race, our world is so sad that it goes to that.
Except the mascot looked at those babies waving no to them, AFTER waving no to the ppl before/behind them. Look closely at the video. Not to mention the OTHER videos where this same mascot ignored other Black children, one of which was at this same event.
Lmfao imagine saying sesame Street is racist 🤣 😂
If you give em an inch, they will take a mile and call it racist.

Neither. Latino
@@zyereid4561 thank you for responding and thank you for doing a video.
Jesus as a person of color this is ridiculous OMG a lawsuit???
Yeah, what happened to mommy just wanting an apology and lifetime mental healthcare for the girls for their PTSD? The PTSD caused by mommy, not the Rosita character, for subjecting the children to this ridiculous nonsense. Rosa Parks is turning over in her grave saying oh please!!!
Yep, you don't discriminate against Children, plain and simple
$25 million is insane for your child being ignored. No one civil rights where violated. I hope they dont win but Im sure they will settle.
Like a season pass....cause its shouldn't be about the lottery but the experience
They ask for something that isn’t plausible because they know it will get resolved for a crazy amount this lawsuit was neeeded the way they where going about business was antiquated it’s 2022
This happened to several different children of the same color during different recordings at different times. No other statements nor recordings show this happening to any other children of any other color. I do understand that you have a certain degree of loyalty for your former co-workers and friends.
Did you not ONCE consider that it happens to white children too?
Maspets. Got any video evidence of it?
Otherwise you're just an apologist for racism aren't you?
@@Maspets "No other statements nor recordings show this happening to any other children of any other color" Learn to read dumbass.
It did look like he was saying no in a continuous conversation to someone else then turned around & kept walking in a rush to keep moving so it’s completely possible he meant nothing by it. Thank you for clearing this up.
I hate how the term racism has become just another buzzword. People are really out here looking for a "boogeyman".
@ZyeReid a company culture is built and developed based on the employees hired to do the job. The employee represents the company. Whatever the case may have been in watching this video more than several times to be fair. This employee sure enough signaled no to someone standing next to those children after giving another lady a high five but also clearly looked in a downward angle at those children not past then I watched it again and again to be sure I wasn't looking at it wrong and that employee clearly said no and fanned those girls off. Those girls were reaching out their hands I didn't see a baby with them to be picked up. She could have easily when they reached their hands out for whatever they wanted and just common sense high fived them as well as she did the grown up by them and kept it moving. Not saying every black child is treated this way but those girls were definitely fanned off and that was wrong. If they were black white Chinese whatever their race they just so happened to be black and they were told no and fanned off and I'm sure those children will not forget that. Could you imagine being a innocent child being excited to see your fav character and finally face to face reaching out to be told no and rudely just walking away as if you (the child) did something wrong. I'm sure they won't feel the same about sesame Street and that's messed up because the individual behind that costume created a horrible memory for that child. that individual made a decision on how at that moment to represent the character and company that was not ok. So The employee is to blame as well not just the company because the employee "is" in that moment a representative of the company and hired to represent the company practices. But to me if you work with children this is common sense don't fan them off and say no even if you can't do something based on rules. Completely understandable but at the least you should always have compassion for a child. acknowledge them and keep it moving and what you are told you can't do, ok! Don't do it but a better response at least waving or another high five could have avoided any of this. That was my first thought like ok why not just high five wave bye blow a kiss or something and keep moving. The employee was wrong and if the company trains them to do this they are the foundation of what's wrong. honestly I would not have done that regardless to what any training would have told me. I would have known better understanding the nature of a child. Just be polite!
At no point did I say the employee wasn’t wrong. I believe they were. I believe they should be punished. What I’m arguing against is that they did it specifically cause they are racist. That’s all. I’m the interview I very clearly said SP has racist issues but this isn’t one of them, this is a common issue employees have been fighting for awhile. They hate it when kids don’t get the experience they want but SP has put rules in place that cause it. Many employees are just teens who don’t know how to stand up for themself yet.
My entire point of doing this interview was to say that a mistake was made, but don’t misconstrue the reason it was. I never denied the mistake. I never claimed the employee shouldn’t answer for it (only that the death threats are ludicrous).
Nobody reading that novel, but it's clear the little girl has both arms out and wanted to me picked. Stop trying to be a victim so bad.
@@zyereid4561 how do you know the person wasn't racist? Because they said so? So what? No one admits to being racist. Their actions speak louder thank their words.

Other than the lawsuit, my question is: are they attacking Rosita or is it the usual pro-wack suspect with otherwise deeper personal issues (talking about those on this and other threads).
Pro -wack?

Seems like mole hills are now mountins!
The issue is when you see the view from the other side of the street/pathway it doesn’t show anyone with a baby
Different view

That's straight up ignoring the girls.
As a fursuiter I can agree its hard to see out those but still
The seasame character probably thought those little girls were thugs and thought she was gonna get jumped by them 😂😂😂😂
I appreciate the ex employee clarifying a possible misconception. But i went back to look at the video and see that the first finger wagging " no" was possibly to what he was eluding to but then you see the character high five the adult then look down towards the girls and make a different hand gesture with head movement that means " no more"..hmm.
Personally, its an abuse to file for such an obseen amount of money and ride the victim bus with your kids. What valuble lesson are you teaching them? Yes, make the possible offense known public but dont be a financial opportunist. Is it WD park fault that certain indivuduals may have some personal bias? NO, but they are resposible for addressing and correcting the matter internally, phyiscally apologize to the children and treating them to a time of fun. *replace the bad outcome with a good one thats what is important for the kids memories. Dont poison their minds.. dear PARENTS!
The world will be hard as minority children grow up so spend more time strengthening their personhood, to not cryout at the jump they assume theirs "discrimination". Teach them now so they become adults with self assurance and integrity so to rise above ignorant judgments.
They missed him because they can't see good
His excuses would make sense if we didn't have proof of them doing it and multiple videos he's just trying to get his job back
She could have stopped for those little girls and shook their hands and made them feel appreciated
This is like a glitch
Look stop making excuses for them employees you either know them very well or was paid to this video cut the bs we not dumb its clear as day! How is it they can see the white kids an shake their hands in the costumes but oooo all of a sudden the suit goes black when its time to shake a black kids hand BS! Keep your video to yourself please an thank you! An for the parents that had to experience this with their kids my apology for such a horrific act on their behalf DISGUSTING!
Look look look guys. First of all, I'm black so don't think I'm tryna justify anything but if you watch the video he clearly told someone "no" bcos they wanted to hv maybe a pic or hug. If u look clearly at the black younger kid, she has both her arms out *she wanted a hug*. And its against their policy to give pple hugs that's why they told were told no
He actually looks like telly monster
That’s what I said 😂
Guys you better go to Sesame Place
What a bs case. There's no racist policy, it's a misunderstanding. Looking for a $25 million payday is ridiculous. Shame on that family.

Ummmmm, big bird high five a Black girl in that parade left corner but they blurred that out. It's the video at 3:11. Find that sane video and you will see it.
Sorry, I can see Rosita looking past the kids and saying no, but then she or he looked down and waved the kids off. I don’t know if the event is racist, but Rosita clearly bypassed those poor kids.
It’s a black teen in Rosita
Barney would never
The person in the Rosita costume is not white according Zye Reid which is someone who worked there before and speaks in this video. He answered someone about it in the comment section of this video "Ex-Sesame Place Employee Speaks About Lack of Proper Training", which Zye Reid is being interviewed in this video but was not the Rosita character in the video being questioned for racism. He didn't say what race they were though. He said he used to wear the costumes working there in the past and he himself is colored so it is possible the person in the Rosita suit in the video is colored. He says he knows the person in that Rosita costume and says what happened with Rosita was not due to racism.
It's a parade, last time I checked they don't stop
And the girls were over the yellow line and one of them was reaching out to be picked up which employees are not permitted to do.
From the angle across the street, Rosita stopped right after those girls to hug and pose with white kids, look it up.
@@maximusprime3459 lmao 🤣 alright.
@@j.7701 But you said they dont stop when the footage clearly shows Rosita... *stopping* and greeting kids after the girls she passed over.
@@maximusprime3459 cool, so now what?
For someone who has been fired from sesame place is not a reliable person to give his opinion, because from the videos I have watched the incidents look very racist to me because that character looked down at those girls shook his head and hands at the girls,but went and hug the little White American girl right next to the two Black American little girls
“I watched clips online so I know more” lmao. Is it still racist when the videos are of white kids? Those exist too buddy
Maybe he is trying get his job back
@@tdavid66 wrong! I have a much better job that pays well and doesn’t fire employees for being black ☺️ try again
Too many of these SAME type of videos have come out though
he’s being paid to say that.don’t listen to him.
Thatss because it happens to everyone a thousand times a day.
I can show you 50 videos of rain falling on black people. Does that make the sky racist?
yeah cos it's not like in the world of social media there aren't now zillions of video clips on the internet home edited anyway you like .
@@daftwod nope just you
@@leontaecoleman3644 exactly
This person of color who knows what being in the costume is like doesn't see evidence of racial profiling here. He was let go by Sesame Place and isn't averse to criticizing them so there is no evident reason he would be dishonest about this.
This is messed up
@@Master-Works What is messed up?
@@presto709 That they accuse someone of racism without a clear base. That and Rosita is Mexican American. Why would Mexican Americans hate African Americans?
@@Master-Works Ok, I agree about the unfounded accusation.
Just so you know, Jesse Jackson was on Sesame Street in the 70’s. 😎
That's a fucking lie if someone asked you to hold your kid you do not have to respond to their wishes you can ignore them and keep going because they don't know if you're looking at them or not these children physically put their hands on a character and that character knew that they were there so there's no excuse that video shows the character ignoring these black children 😡
Like they do at ChuckECheezes!
And what's racist about it?
@@dakariruth9044 You go look at it!
Racist or prejudice?
It’s not a lie it is what every entertainer is told. Believe what you will, I have the experience you do not 😘
Come on people you can see that the only reason why she just her know was whatever that person asked them it was an against their guidelines and it wasn’t to the kids everybody needs to see that it’s not about race racism stop making shit about racism it’s not
There are other clips showing character greeting white kids while ignoring black kids right next to them
That was rude. For kids to believe that there favorite characters are fun, loveable, soft, and nice. When realize they aren't
Get over it bruh it's done
It's still going on are you getting updates or are you ignorant
Sir you was not there why are you on television defending them.....
Cause I’ve seen this happen daily and know it isn’t because of race. I may not have been there that day but I’ve been there and even in the same shoes before. Should I be called racist and sued for shaking my head no to a white boy who wanted to be picked up?
You "was not" there but you're here attacking them.
Dumbo.
@@zyereid4561 I can't speak for your situation but we all know what we are seen all of these situations all the kids that was rejected was black kids....
Before they rejected the black kids and after they approach white kids and shake their hands and wave to them...
We've seen enough to know that they are pinpointing a few specific people or children....
@@virgolove4ever701 for every video you saw there is just as many for kids of other races. You’re only seeing the ones that fit the trend tho.
I’m not saying it can never be racially motivated. I’m saying it’s a common occurrence and most of the time isn’t. In the case of those jumping on a lawsuit, all of them have rational explanations. There still needs to be punishments/change. But not this hatred and violence over a kid who made a mistake
You know society's falling apart when people are on a moral crusade against fucking sesame place
No I don't believe that it was definitely a slight don't try to take up for them.
Don't need to be trained to include everyone. Should have learned that in school
I don't agree with what this person said
He intentionally ignored the little girls
Your opinion holds little weight over the truth
As far as training is concerned, MLK said: MORALITY CANNOT BE LEGISLATED BUT BEHAVIOR CAN BE REGULATED. JUDICIAL DECREES MAY NOT CHANGE THE HEART BUT THE CAN RESTRAIN THE HEARTLESS. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TRAIN SOMEONE TO HAVE A HEART. MATTERS OF THE HEART ARE LEFT UP TO THE WILLINGNESS OF EACH OF US. WE ALL MUST HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE. IF I WAS THE PERSON UNDER THE COSTUME AND I REALLY WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW MY TRUE HEART ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN. I WOULD HAVE COME OUT OF THAT COSTUME AND SPOKEN BY NOW OF MY LOVE FOR ALL CHILDREN NO MATTER THEIR RACE ETC. INSTEAD CRICKETS!
the parks should make a standard rule on passing yellow line, and no touching!!!!!!PERIOD
Hmmm...... You need training to know how to be open and friendly with kids. This should never happen.
I truly think the worker was distracted. It happens/ this is a parent issue.
Why are people still going on about this situation? Do y'all not realize how hard it is to perform as a mascot character? They go around all day entertaining and interacting with people. Give them a break! There are way worse stuff in the world that are happening and people are still concerned about this whole Rosita performer situation.
Right?! People just love to complain about the dumbest things.
I bet you're white you pig
I appreciate him talking. The lawsuit is over.
It's not Sesame Street.............there needs to be more training in the black community. #StopBlackFragility
Stop giving these folks your money. It truly is that simple. Stop disrespecting yourself and your children.
How much that paid him to lie?
Right lol
He made me feel like he should have kept quiet
$0. I don’t work for them moron
Why are they blurring the muppets' faces?
That's unacceptable
Hear we go again why y’all even paid attention to the shii u should have went to the main source and kept it off tv first smh 🤦♂️
Jeremy protecting Becky
How much are they are paying him.thosekids we're train at home and it shows
I wish we would just stop supporting and giving people who hate us our money time and damn attention it stupidity to me they can train whoever they like I would support this company period hit them in the pocket I bet they would change up . Period . Stop the madness
I knew this was coming.
Every time corporate gets hit with bias or racial discrimination accusations they get a so called “black” to clear the air… 😂
At the end of the day it was wrong u co-signed for Sesame Street characters
It should be about the kids and NOT the parents...giving them a season pass is more suitable....these lawyers just want a cut
Lies she looked right at those little girls. She had already said no to the other family then told them no.
Not racist!.. Family just wants $$$.
It just seems like a lot of major coincidences. If that wave off is a “coincidence”, then why did they look down?
Surprised this is still making rounds
