Sesame Place controversy: Law firm files class action lawsuit against park on claims of discrimination
Fox 5 Atlanta ^ | July 27, 2022

PHILADELPHIA - A law firm on Wednesday filed a class action lawsuit against SeaWorld, the parent company of Sesame Place, seeking millions in damages for alleged discrimination during a family's visit to the amusement park earlier this year.

Lawyers from Murphy, Falcon & Murphy held a press conference Wednesday in Philadelphia alongside Quinton Burns and his daughter Kennedi. They claim the father and daughter visited the park on Father's Day and the 5-year-old was snubbed by several characters during a meet-and-greet.

Attorney Malcolm Ruff said Kennedi was ignored "among a sea of white children" who the characters interacted with instead. The lawsuit, according to Ruff, was filed on behalf of any other Black family or person who believes they were discriminated against at Sesame Place.

An article alleging racial discrimination racially discriminates by writing “white” instead of “White”.

I suspect there is not a class because each person’s facts are different.

They don’t have to prove anything, just be scary and make settling out of court less expensive than fighting the suit.

The solution would be to convert these types of parks to private clubs with annual dues and initiation fees. That would clean them up fast.

Is this a DIFFERENT couple people than last week’s story of the 2 little black girls at the parade? They seemed to have a mother and another woman, not a father.

Maybe the parade puppets heard about the melees at DisneyWorld byDemographic and try to avoid it.

Which would be OK, if they stuck to”black” instead of high-falutin’ arrogant insecure “Black”.

Both are terms describing racial classifications so both should be written the same way.

Soon they will demand to be quartered in private residences. Not being soldiers, that’s all it will take.

Class action lawsuits are designed to make the lawyers rich, not the actual victims.

"among a sea of white children"

There were no children anywhere near them in the video. But the ghetto slugs will get their payout all the same.
