  1. sesame street has went downhill since 2000..racism, gays

  2. Fake racist propaganda. Nobody was being mistreated and they know it. Sometimes, folks like stirring the pot, especially when they're looking for attention.

  3. Nothing will ever change it is what it is,

  4. All this outrage but nothing by the same blacks crying about closing or boycotting the park when there are toddlers or young kids gunned down in the black community.

  5. I gotta say a lot of times stories involving race are overblown. But damn they got a point here!! Why would you do that to those kids? That's terrible! What a bonehead move! When you think we've moved & progressed as a nation. What in the world was this dumba** thinking when he/she just obviously bypassed these two excited young girls? Who all they wanted to do was get a high five or a "gimme-five" just like all the other kids. People get tired of stories about race. Well here! This is why this keeps happening because of Jerks like this clown.

  6. Reading some of these comments…
    Why are there so many grown ass adults hating on little innocent kids though? Yall like the Karens foreal😒!!
    Are yall mad because they about to get paid? Or are yall mad because they are getting spotlight news attention and yall don't get noticed in all your adult lives? Or are yall grown racist selves expressing how you feel about little innocent kids?? 😕

  7. Please watch the Schuler King Video where more examples of this are shown. One character even pushed down an African American child using his stomach.

  8. Who the Hell is in that Rosita, costume, They need to be Exposed and Asses Fired NOW, racist bastards

  9. The kids wanted picked up policy is no picking up kids. So cry in your cereal little babies. Mommy can’t make it all your way. Mommy has to go get her nails done now…

  10. I dont watch the news anymore

  11. All black Afro Unamericans are looking hard,digging deep for any chance to scream Racist,only whites are Racist, new America.

  12. Mr. Lovejoy, I think a twenty should do it.

  13. Just another meal ticket for the blacks get a job and a life

  14. Blacks are starting to sound like the boy who cried wolf!

  15. Money hungry scumbag lawyer.

  16. You cannot retrain RACESM it’s in their blood!

  17. Black people always crying

  18. They are reaching so hard looking for a big payday 😂

  19. in fairness is not Sesame Street its the employee

  20. Hope lawyer check out who was behind costume
    Kinda look bad if he was black

  21. Don't you think these type of people have suffered enough tragedy? The mothers! I would like to go up to that mascot responsible and knock him the f**k out like Ace Ventura did during the tail end of the movie. You don't want me in that park because I will do just that for the sake of all African Americans.

  22. I WAS skeptical. Until i saw ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS! Wow. It's terrible.

  23. are you kidding me? this is the uproar? how da heck do you know whos under there? and what the intent of that person was. Bunch of wanna play victim BS.

  24. Wowwwwwww!!! I'm speechless!!! After looking at these videos where these girls were clearly mistreated based on there color..is despicable!!!

  25. Hm so let me get this straight so the ppl in the costume said that they didn't see the children..that is bs because in order to walk u got to see the ground to see where your stepping and where your going. I think this was planned because most of them past the black children .
