Family files $25M discrimination lawsuit after viral character snub

fricking scumbags

It’s getting to the point that you’re going to have to carry special insurance just to do business with blacks.

Sesame Street is progressive as hell. Oops

Sesame Place Philadelphia issued three apology statements, first explaining the character had difficulty seeing in the costume, was gesturing no to a parent’s repeated requests to hold a child for a photo, which is not permitted, and that the character did not intentionally single out any guests. The second apology promised equity training for its employees.

The third apology came after the Brown family, joined by their lawyer B'Ivory Lamarr and activist Tamika Mallory of Until Freedom, hosted a press conference in New York City last week.

Welp that didn’t work.

"I’m hurting, devastated me and my wife. Just looking at her face, it makes me want to cry every time I see it," Quinton Burns said.

And this is where they fricked up.

I remember reading last week how SeaWorld was falling all over themselves apologizing, offering private character greets - you name it.

You give in to the complaints, you enable them. This invites a lawsuit, which SeaWorld will ultimately settle.

I know of some black businesses that have had issues with their black customers. In Dallas, there was a black owned restaurant whose owner bitched about black women standing on table and twerking on tables. He said "Would you do that at a white owned restaurant?"

They'll settle for $4 million. Lawyer gets 3. A few Escalades later and they'll be right back where they started from.

Was the person in the costume black? Would be colossal if they were.
