Parents file $25 MILLION racial discrimination lawsuit against Sesame Street theme park claiming four characters including Rosita ignored their daughter during parade because she's black...
Now you know full well this bullshit will never, ever go to trial, and some scumbag lawyer will get 40% off the top of any settlement. People are fuckin' whores...
A black Baltimore family is suing a Sesame Street-themed amusement park for $25,000,000.00 over claims of racial discrimination, alleging 'multiple costumed characters ignored a 5-year-old black girl' during an event last month.
The lawsuit comes in the wake of a video, shared widely on social media, showing two other black girls apparently being snubbed by a costumed employee during a parade at the park in Langhorne, outside Philadelphia.
The suit, which seeks class action status, was filed in a federal court in Philadelphia against SeaWorld Parks, the owner of the Sesame Place, for 'pervasive and appalling race discrimination.'
The lawsuit alleges four employees dressed as Sesame Street characters ignored Quinton Burns, his daughter Kennedi Burns and other black guests during the meet-and-greet on June 18.
'Just looking at her face, it makes me want to cry every time I see it,' Quinton Burns said during a press conference Wednesday.
The lawsuit comes after a viral video showing two other black girls from New York apparently being snubbed by Rosita during a parade at the park in Langhorne, outside Philadelphia.
Sesame Place apologized in a statement for that incident and explained that the actor inside the Rosita suit simply couldn't see their daughter due to the costume's limited field of vision.
The furor triggered more families to come forward with 'similar experiences'.
