"Sesame Street" is introducing two new Muppets, a Black father and son, as part of an effort to help children understand racial literacy.
The two Muppets, Wes and Elijah, were introduced in a short video created by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind the long-running show. In the video, Elmo wants to know why Wes's skin is brown, so his father Elijah explains the concept of melanin and how "the color of our skin is an important part of who we are," according to a press release from Sesame Workshop.

They only use ‘Martin Luther King’ when it’s politically expedient. Otherwise, everything is about race.
Elmo was hurt when it was explained to him that Commies are Red.
How about Muhammed and Malvo?
WHAT?
FGS, the muppets are literally every color! I think that was sort of the point.
Why have “black” muppets? They’ll actually stand out more just because they’re not truly colored! How does that fit into the diverse background? It makes it less diverse!
How exactly does this work to have “black puppets” when none of them had a race and indeed are red, orange, blue, yellow, pink, purple, green, etc.?
TWO??? Why not 10??? RACISTS!
They obviously stole the character of Black Elmo from All in the Family.
Henry Jefferson dressed as Santa Claus. Funny episode.
Will this discussion be done in ebonics?
“literacy”
Careful. “Literacy” might be related to white supremacy.
Perhaps it should have said “reading and writing skills”, but oops, “skills” might also be related to white supremacy, so maybe it should have said just “reading and writing”.
93% black homicides are black-on-black
80% black babies born into fatherless homes
25 Million black babies murdered, dismembered & organs sold by PlannedButcherHood "chop shops" in black communities
Race baiters/hustlers (JustUsBros) making millions by pushing fake racism
Education is mocked & ridiculed in black community
No? I didn't think so.
Green, yellow and red are not “muppets of color?”
Are they going to teach little kids how to loot or, maybe to keep your hands in sight to not get shot on traffic stops?
Or, maybe how to stomp on white peoples heads in groups?
Have they no clue on the resentment this is causing from both whites AND blacks?
Oh well, it’s just muppets, guess I shouldn’t say such things.
What, blue, green, red, and purple isn’t diverse enough that they need to add black?
Bert was Arab, according to the Jihadi posters.
I don’t recall any white puppets from Sesame Street.
A case of “ What would you call The Flintstones if they were black?”
Ernie?
SJW's and race hustlers do not share Dr King's dream. It is anathema to their movement.
Im glad Carol Spinney (Big Bird) is not around to see what Sesame Street became. Met him in 1988, nice guy. He used to give out Ice Cream Sundaes at the resort he lived at.
