I’ll keep posting this video. I can’t help but be angry.
Sesame Place has come under fire after a video of a character going through two black girls went viral.
The video in question records children approaching Rosita, one of the “Sesame Street” characters, and asking for a high-five, only to be ignored. The Rosita character is shown high-fiving and shaking hands with an audience member, who appears to be signaling “no” to the girls and the person behind them. The mother who posted the video said, “I’m going to keep posting this video. I’m just so angry,” she said angrily.
