They were drag queens?
I watched the video... not drag queens, dunno what that ‘tard lawyer flappin’ about.
Looked like a setup... I wonder what was behind those little girls
..and the Best Actress Emmy goes to:
HBO actor Wendell Pierce, who exclaimed: “WITNESS THE END OF INNOCENCE. WITNESS THE TRAUMA. This moment is violent, scarring, psychological abuse.”
Much ado about nuttin. Maybe the costumed character was distracted or rushing to keep pace with others in the parade. Mom needs to take that chip off hee shoulder before her daughters start seeing racism everywhere too.
Racist furball.
Get over it, hysterical mom.
I was in several parades in NYC. As a street character (we walk alongside the float and when the float stops, interact with the attendees), I never got a chance to touch all the hands that stretched out to me before we had to move on. There was nothing racist about it.
Your race card has been declined.
Not getting a hug from a fake character from sesame street is “This moment is violent, scarring, psychological abuse.”
My God what a disgrace these people are. With scum bags like Crump and every rabis “activist” destroying everything about black families it is no wonder the “black community” live lives of violence and out of control base emotion.
When forum shopping for big, ridiculous jury awards, Philadelphia is at the top of the list. Baby Mama’s gonna be rich for a year or two and soon be raising her grandchildren.
EC
this is ridiculous. and trauma?? LOL.
A lawsuit because a Sesame Street character didn’t hug your child among the thousands of children along the parade route. People need to publicly date that they can’t hug every single child because it would take 10 times longer and the parents need to tell their child oh well at least you got to see your favorite character. But to call this racism is absolutely outrageous
What happens if it turns out the actor in the Rosita costume was a person of color?
black
It seems to me that the person portraying Rosita was distracted by something in the crowd and hardly saw the little girls. I seriously doubt that any disrespect was intended.
However, I couldn't help feeling a sharp sense of hurt watching the little girls reach out to her and then obviously feel slighted. If I were the person portraying Rosita I would feel terrible about it.
It seems to me, that as soon as this was called to the attention of the people at Sesame Place--and especially the person portraying Rosita--arrangements should have been made for Rosita to visit the little girls at their home, perhaps with gifts, to soothe their feelings and give them hugs and to assure that everyone knows that no slight was intended.
The incident was very sad to me. The little girls were excited and enthusiastic, and their disappointment was obvious. Sesame Place should find some way to reassure them and make it up to them. It doesn't have to be anything big. Just some small gesture of affection and reassurance.
