I'm beyond disgusted about what's going on at Sesame Workshop Philadelphia. It's REPEATED behavior. These little black kids are there to have fun, step into their favorite TV shows, and meet their favorite characters. Imagine being a little black kid seeing everyone else getting treated nicely by the characters only to be ignored or treated poorly. This is a slap in the face to everything the show originally stood for. Remember, Sesame Street was developed to teach fundamental learning skills to kids in inner-city and less wealthy areas and HEAVILY featured black children. If you can't work with black kids, then you shouldn't be working with kids at all.

...I wonder if it's only one or two performers doing this considering fur character performers can play multiple characters within their height range.

WHERE did u get ur big bird plush he is so cute! /nfta

Hi!! I got him at the Sesame Place theme park gift shop last year in Philadelphia, I think they have one in San Diego too if ur on the west coast. Outside of the US I’m not sure how you’d obtain one, I looked online but I don’t think he is available there that I could see.

My fiancé took me to sesame place for our one year anniversary and also proposed to me there when we were going to take a pic with Big Bird it was such a lovely unbelievable surprise 🥺💍 i picked out this plush before we went home and he goes most places with me now ^u^

Look how happy big bird was for us 😂

#sorry for the pda answer lol I can’t look at this particular plush without thinking of this moment 🥹 #my post #asks #ask #agere #sfw #pda #big bird #Sesame Street #sesame place #plushblr #anon #anonymous #luv my dd so much he is everything

#sesame place #anti blackness #racism #rosita #i understand they cannot hug *all* the children #but this seems highly sus #there are people underneath those costumes #and if the jobs are highly desirable then they are probably disproportionately white #and you know where that takes us #i would be interested in learning about the views of the workers there #anti blackness is fairly common

The most disgusting yet ironic thing about the Sesame Street incident is the fact that show was literally built on black culture. The show heavily emphasize on diversity and the cast has so many bipoc people working behind and in the show.

And I say it’s built on black culture because a lot of black children, including myself, has grown up on that show. It was one of the first shows that show diversity and that everyone should get along and shouldn’t judge someone because they’re different. Through the years there has been a lot black and brown characters being introduced to show and I believe there are a few episodes that talk about racism.

So to turn around and see people in those costumes turning down black children is not only disgusting but ironic.

And what about the children? They see their favorite characters talk about not judging people and then have them diss them because they’re black. It’s honestly so heartbreaking and disgusting.

Sesame Street do fucking better

If I had a dollar for every time Elmo (yes the little red monster) hit me with a door I'd have one dollar.

Which isn't a lot, no, but weird that it happened at all 😭😭.

Can You Tell Me How To Get The F*CK Outta Sesame Place??

I don’t know what is going on with these viral videos of the Sesame Street characters being racist/not wanting to interact with black kids at Sesame Place. As someone that loved Sesame Street til I was 13, it’s heartbreaking and infuriating to see these kids be disrespected in that manner. I remember spending my days as a kid watching videos of these characters at Sesame Place, wanting to go there or work there, and to see what’s been going on is even more devastating.

For those that don’t know, Sesame Street was originally a program that was very popular with black & brown kids. Majority of the cast were black characters, puerto rican characters, even a muppet named Roosevelt Franklin was black coded. Sesame Street has become very white-washed over the years, so now seeing what the cast looks like now + these viral videos of the mascots is honestly such a bad look for them.

They all need to be fired, and training needs to do better. They should have basic training 101 on “How not to be discriminatory towards children”. I get that the suits are hot, & claustrophobic at times, but to ignore a black kid just to go high-five a white kid… that just INFURIATES ME!!!

Yall seen all this bs on Sesame Place?? 🤬🤬🤬

It hella ironic that a black psychiatrist made the curriculum Sesame Street to address racism just like this in black children. But it never addressed the biases in the adults.

He literally coined the term "micro-agressions" yet here we are 🙄

Chester Pierce, an African-American psychiatrist and Harvard professor, helped design what he called the show’s “hidden curriculum” to build up the self-worth of black children through the presentation of positive black images. Pierce also insisted the show present an integrated, harmonious community to challenge the marginalization of African-Americans that children routinely saw on television and elsewhere in society.

What good is it to be anti-racist on the scene when you're still racist behind the scenes?!

Me, on my way to hug the Black kids:
