A day after the mother of two young Black girls called out Sesame Place in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for an incident over the weekend in which a character at the theme park appeared to deny and pass by her girls, an attorney for the family said the event has had a devastating effect on them.
"Their hearts were completely shattered by a character," attorney B'Ivory LaMarr told NBC10 in an interview Tuesday. "And tickets are not cheap. This is something these young girls were looking forward to. Words can't describe the type of grief they are going through right now."
In the now viral video posted Saturday on the mother’s Instagram account, two young girls are seen excitedly reaching out to the character Rosita, the first bilingual muppet on Sesame Street. Although it appears that the performer had interacted with other children before reaching the girls, the video seems to show the character shaking their head “no” in the direction of the two young Black girls.
“We were on our way out of sesame place and the kids wanted to stop to see the characters,” the mom wrote on Instagram. “THIS DISGUSTING person blatantly told our kids NO then proceeded to hug the little white girl next to us!”
In response, Sesame Place Philadelphia said in a statement on Instagram Sunday that it the performer did not direct the "no" hand gesture, which was used more than once in the video, toward “any specific person,” but was instead gesturing that way in “response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted.”

When my son was a young’un, he always wanted me to take him into the ABC Stores (North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission). He wanted to see Big Bird and Bert and Ernie.
He really whined to go.
Reparations by any means ...
Same here except in my case it was Minnie Mouse and I was like “Geez what a b*tch” I didnt sue..maybe I should have LOL
It’s an animated fn puppet. Those people sure do know how to grab cash. Now if we could only teach them the concept of work…
its $10 in Times Square- the ugliest Mickey and Minnie Mouse you’ve ever seen
This is the kind of parent who has a complete nervous collapse if a Kindergarten Teacher snips the child’s Sheep-Dog like bangs, so that the child will stopp walking into walls. Mom likes her daughter’s bangs left long and bushy, you know, just like some plastic Doll she used to own.
In tatters?
Shooby
hahaha I believe it.
Parasite trolling for dollars
black fragility
Goofy is black. Do I smell a little reverse discrimination here?
Grifters gonna grift.
I investigated an attorney’s demand for $15,000 on the claim that his client had broken his leg after tripping in a giant pothole in my client’s parking lot. He even provided a photo of the exact spot, which in the pic indeed looked like a hole. Oh, the humanity.
Except it was a 1/32” deep bootprint left by a worker when the lot had received a fresh seal coat.
Moral of story: grifters gonna grift. Pics and video can lie. The Sesame Place claim isn’t just a “perception” thing by race-sensitive black folks. The claimants are lying, race baiting scoundrels.

They assume it was racism, but how do they know it wasn’t a black performer wearing the suit?
They are going to get paid, and in a big way.
Snow White did the same to me 50 years ago, I'm still not over it. At least I didn't have to buy her a house.
Major eye roll.
