    This family, with the 2 cousins, is not the family who filed the class action suit against Sesame Place. Please do your research before you post as this discredits you.

      The fact that she's an angry racist discredits her.

    In the first clip, the black family was told it's against the rules to advertise their gathering on social media, yet they did it anyway. As a result whole bunch of black people came to the park which created an intimidating situation. And now they are crying racism.

      Black people don’t have their own everything because a) they did have and it was burned to the ground by white mobs b) they’re excluded from the same access to capital that white people have, no way you could built a theme park without access to some serious lines of credit.

    I pray we can get passed this. People are people for Gods sake.All are equal. I dont care about your color,just your character. I have black friends,I have brown friends. My wife is hispanic and Im an old white guy. Life is too short and too precious. THis is just wrong for these families. By the way, I dont clutch pearls, never could afford them.

    The individual performers/park execs need to be named & terminated. A zero tolerance policy is required & the idea of "bias training" is bs - why would a childrens' park retain employment of people who _require_ racist bias training? Treat all park guests to the same high standard - there, that's the training.

    • @wellesradio
      @wellesradio Рік тому

      That’s not the point. Bias training isn’t bullshit for a number of reasons. Some people benefit more from it than others, but remember that it’s a sensitivity training. It trains people to be sensitive to the experiences of others, and it doesn’t just apply to race either. People with disabilities or other needs might need addressing. It makes employees aware that they’re being held to a standard of conduct, where the lines are drawn and that a not all park-goers perceive a situation the same way. It trains you to be aware of how sometimes actions tou think are inoffensive might offend others. appear to people even if they don’t intend to offend. Some people might not be consciously aware that they tend to gravitate more toward white children and they need to check that. And lastly it aims to work toward addressing the grievances of customers by letting those employees know that the whole world could be watching.
      It’s more than just “stop being racist.”

    I read what you wrote about Pardi. It’s obvious you are extremely biased and hate black men. You always find a way to make the narrative negative about black men. Never holding women accountable. Next time you do a critique try this format. Logic over emotions and facts over feelings.
