Moment Sesame Street's Rosita 'ignores' black child AGAIN
More families are threatening to sue a Sesame Street theme park after videos emerged they say show the character Rosita appearing to snub black children.

The first footage appeared to show two young black children at Sesame Place in Philadelphia being ignored by the blue Muppet.

The aunt of one of the girls, Leslie Mac, who works as an 'anti-racism trainer' and was named in the top 100 Woke Women of 2020, said her family plans to sue the theme park and they have retained a lawyer.

Sesame Place called it a 'misunderstanding', saying the mascot likely did not see the girl, who had been celebrating her birthday at the park, due to limited vision in the costume's unwieldy mask and was waving at a family behind them.

The theme park was then targeted by a woke mob and released a second statement, apologizing to the family and pledging to start 'training' their staff to prevent further incidents.

The family's attorney, B'Ivory LaMarr, said that multiple families have now contacted him about the character acting similarly towards black children.

One video shows Rosita appearing to ignore a black boy who ran out to meet her during a parade, despite high-fiving nearby white children.

Another shows a young black girl holding out her hand and waving to Rosita, only for the character to ignore her and go and hug a white child standing next to her.
