In the three-minute clip, Elmo joins Elijah and Wes on a park bench. Elmo finds a brown leaf and a red leaf, which sets up the conversation: "Elmo wants to know why Wes's skin is brown." Wes explains that his mom and dad had previously explained to him that he is brown because of the melanin in his skin, then Elijah teaches Elmo was melanin is. Ultimately, they all decide that all colors are beautiful—using a tree as a metaphor for the human race.
Kino.
same color as shit
beautiful
In the three-minute clip, Elmo joins Elijah and Wes on a park bench. Elmo finds a Pop-Tart wrapper and an empty Old English 40, which sets up the conversation: "Elmo wants to know, hypothetically, how would Wes feel if he hadn't eaten breakfast that morning?" Wes explains that he did have breakfast that morning, then Elijah agrees that they both had breakfast that morning. Ultimately, they all decide that all abstract thoughts are not universal—realizing that some brains are incapable of understanding metaphorical situations which has bad implications for the future of the human race.
This is white genocide.... MUPPETS ARE WHITE!
Netflix takes over Sesame Street
Immediately floods it with blacks
Like everyone didn’t see this coming.
muppets are anthropomorphic animals
are you implying africans are more akin to animals than humans?
don't black people sing "heil hitler" now? seems problematic to put them in children's shows
OP image is from several years ago, but Sesame Street was always flooded with blacks. Like the entire purpose of the show was "Preschool for inner city families that couldn't afford it".
Difference is that muppets aren't any specific race, they're rainbow-colored sock people, monsters and talking animals.
How could you possible interpret this as a bad thing?
It’s not pushing any message and it’s simply teaching children about racial differences. Maybe it will stop confused children from calling a black child a nigger like what happen to me when I was 7.
This is several years old. It was done as a response to the Saint of Fent.
They've been adding human Muppets to Sesame Street to be direct audience inserts for a while now. They've added both Asian and black ones. The implication here is that they think the children of these audiences are too stupid to see themselves in the normal Muppets and human characters so they need deliberate pandering.
Ernie was dark skinned though. Maybe indian or hispanic. Whites were yellow so why do the token diversity muppets need accurate skin color ?
God you chuds are pathetic
elmo is human?
that’s cool
Brown is for Mexican not blacks
THEY ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE MONSTERS WTFFFF
Leftists are obsessed with race to the point of now openly trying to indoctrinate young children into being equally as obsessed with race as they are.
More at 11.
Wes explains his mom and dad
his mom and dad
dad
Ha. No. And its gonna be really upsetting to those black kids when they realise a fucking puppet has more of a stable family unit than them.
Netflix takes over Sesame Street
Wasn't it HBO?
Oh hell naw
Dead leaves are a metaphor for black men

Elmo was literally played by a black pedophile.
Brought to you by the letter N
You guys never watched seseme street growing up? You're on here ragging about shit you don't know like moms on facebook lol
…….so black people are also monsters
if youve ever actually seen a black person poop youd know the color isnt the same
using a tree as a metaphor for the human race.
"Some of us are brown, some of us are yellow, some of us are red"
Who is the black muppet in front of Ernie?
No. It won't. Nigger. Perhaps they should be teaching these kids not to be offended by words to the point where they chimp- Sorry. "Crash out".
Much more valuable lesson than "We are all different".
Kind of retarded since there has been black people for decades before this episode.
Did you forgive ur momma
I was about to post this. Apparently it was an open secret that Clash liked teen boys and liked to give them drugs and have gay chemsex with them.
In November 2012, 23-year-old Sheldon Stephens alleged that he had been in a sexual relationship with Clash that began when Stephens was 16, which would be a felony under New York law that declares illegal any sexual relationship with individuals under 17 years of age, whether consensual or not. Sesame Workshop had initially been presented with the allegation in June, and its investigation found the allegation to be unsubstantiated. Clash acknowledged that he had been in a relationship with the accuser; however, he said the relationship was between two consenting adults.[44] Stephens later recanted his accusation, but two weeks later, another accuser, Cecil Singleton, accused Clash of sexually abusing him when he was 15 years old, and lawsuits were filed by attorney Jeffrey Herman against Clash.[51][52]
Clash resigned from Sesame Workshop on November 20, 2012, and released a statement saying, "Personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work 'Sesame Street' is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately".[51] Sesame Workshop also released a statement: "Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin's personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from 'Sesame Street'."[51] They stated that other puppeteers had been trained to serve as Clash's understudy and would take over his roles on the show.[53]
In July 2013, the three cases against Clash were dismissed because it was ruled that the claims were made more than six years after each man reasonably should have become aware of Clash's alleged violations during the three years after each turned 18.
you know... I'm sure if you look far enough you can find shit that explained different races and its handled with far more respect and care. They literally have a muppet who's sole purpose is to explain Mexican culture and speaks Spanish. The Sesame Street I grew up with (2000's-2005) had a lot of cutaways with kids of various shades just hanging out like normal. No reason to bring up race. Songs such as "we are all earthlings" "the people in your neighborhood" I'm sure others. Very subtle ways at telling you people are different. One more thing. There is a reason the muppets are primary colors. Its so the preschoolers watching can better pay attention. You can't just put up a brown splotch and expect a toddler to care. There's a reason most black kids can't even recognise themselves in the mirror until they turn 8 or something. This is just baseless virtue signaling. It is bad.
a black child is more likely to be called nigga by another black child than a white one.
When I was growing up (black btw) my Uncle hated the word. He said it doesn't matter if you want to "own it" it's an ugly word and if you're calling yourself that you must be dumb.
Reminds me of that episode of Arthur where they had the bear lunch lady preach to an Aardvark and a Rabbit about being black and explain that the world is racist. I just don't... get it. I never gave a shit about race until, maybe, 3rd grade. They started ramping up the Black History Month and MLK shit. And up until that point I had white friends, black friends, and a couple cuban friends. I can pinpoint the era when I started noticing black people acted out more than whites and it was literally when they started focusing on that shit.
the wiggles
teletubbies
boobahs
Gee. Isn't it strange that all these preschool shows have a cast that are loud bright colors? Its almost as if kids would rather see that than a negetive color.
They had a black puppet when the show first debuted (Roosevelt Franklin) and another one in the mid 90s (Kingston Livingston III), so who cares about a new one?
Kingston is basically a Anon since his whole thing was doing the opposite of other kids to be unique.
Do you have any idea that you are the "otherside's" version of a rainbow haired fatty writing essay posts about genderfluid representation in media?
You're on here ragging about shit you don't know
Where? Who said something incorrect, and what was it?
Why are you a nigger?
Damn, Elmo , you can't just ask somebody that
Acktually
Sesame Street puppets are not Muppets
With the exception of Kermit, of course.
And naturally since he was black, a faggot AND employed by a taxpayer-funded organization that has now been taken over by leftists rather than a straight White male talking to 17-year-old girls, rather than rallying to Cancel him Democrats have instead rallied around him and tried to turn him into a martyr that faced unjust persecution.
the muppet with AIDS is my favorite
youtu.be
Been there, done that. Sick of my taxes paying for this shit. Cancel Seasame Street!!!
You guys never watched seseme street growing up?
I did, and never once were topics like "race" ever brought up or even acknowledged.
Probably because I grew up in what was at least for the most part a healthy Society and Sesame Street at the time was thus sane & healthy due to being a product of a generally healthy Society.
When do all the other muppets move off the street? Their property values just plummeted.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you aren't pretending to be shocked that Seseme Street has black characters and discusses social issues.
Fozzie Bear
Sesame Street
fake fan
It was more like they didn't want to persecute a gay black drug addict pedophile for seducing white teen boys with drugs and celebrity. He did the Spacey "I'm a gay man" defense before Spacey and it's like no, people aren't mad because you're gay, they're mad because you gave teen boys drugs and fucked them when you were an adult.
In November 2012, Clash publicly revealed his homosexuality in response to the allegations that led to his resignation from Sesame Workshop, stating, "I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter."[50]
Maybe you should've watched more educational shows so you could develop a knack for reading nigger
shocked that Seseme Street has black characters
Literally nobody ITT is "shocked" that Sesame Street features or has featured black Muppets or even black human-actors, and several people have outright stated that this is nothing new with actual cited sources.
Some ignorant hillbilly being flabbergasted due to being completely unaware of that up until this point is a Strawman you want to exist in this thread so you can epicly BTFO them and call them a "chud" before returning to Reddit and showing them screenshots, but unfortunately simply doesn't exist.
and discusses social issues
Sesame Street never discussed "social issues" because it's a educational show for literal preschoolers. Or at least it never discussed issues of Identity Politics, which leftists tend to frequently confused with more general "social issues" and is probably exactly what you are doing right now.
What few "social issues" it "discussed" we're tremendously generic and universal things, such as "sharing", "making friends", "being scared", "trying new things" and other things generally appropriate for the intended preschooler audience. At no point prior to the infiltration of our Institutions & important Social Services by insane lefttards did Sesame Street ever try to instead lecture and indoctrinate children on Identity Politics crap like race or "racism".
Nah he quit Sesame Street and mainline Muppets. He's still doing puppet stuff for the main Jim Henson Company like on that Netflix Dark Crystal show or filling in for Dave Goelz on set for the Fraggle Rock reboot, but the last time his voice was actually heard in anything was Happytime Murders.
I banned my kids from watching it because of all the gays and retards. But before that I wanted to FUCK that Cuban slut in all her holes.
He didn't quit. He was forced out for being a gay pedophile.
Rosa is the moment the show went downhill.
The way you wrote all that has convinced me you are sincere, but you are mistaken. Sesame Street was originally created with urban niglets in mind. They wanted to make an educational children's show focusing on encouraging kids to explore their emotions and promoting racial harmony. This is not some woke revisionist interpretation, it is the explicit design of the show's creators.
While you may not be outrage trolling, I can you assure that is the purpose of this thread
He's still doing puppet stuff for the main Jim Henson Company like on that Netflix Dark Crystal show or filling in for Dave Goelz on set for the Fraggle Rock reboot
Of course he is. Of course they were and are STILL willing to employ him. Had he been straight and white he would have been permanently blacklisted from that company and likely every other one as well, and the companies would have made a big show out of making sure everybody KNEW that this was in fact the case.
Compare, for example, the stark contrast between how these leftist-run media corporations treat a gay black man who got caught diddling and selling drugs to underaged boys while working on a Children's Show to how they treated Gina Carano for telling people to be nice to each other.
real life guests is the same
god you libshits are pathetic and disingenuous
sesame street was always for inner city kids, even back in the 80s. It was to help them learn to read and count, wholesome training for kids whose parents and teachers were not up to the task due to the troubles that affect an inner city. What kind of monster are you to attack something like that?
Not so sure. Kevin Spacey still gets work. He's making a movie this year. Dan Schneider. Jerry Seinfeld. Too many cartoonists to name. Lot of people are really odd with kids and because humans have the attention spans of fish the controversies are forgotten easily.
Gat ass niggas, niggers
Maybe you should direct that question to the people trying to infect that wholesome show with race politics.
Sesame Street was originally created with urban niglets in mind.
Even if that were true it was created with children in general in mind. It was never intended for any one specific or exclusive demographic, which is why it was so universal in the content it tried to cover as well as why it was so successful and long-lived in the first place.
encouraging kids to explore their emotions
Which, again, is universal and not leftist Id Pol shit.
and promoting racial harmony
Race was literally never even addressed or acknowledged. The only thing it did to "promote racial harmony" was ironically the typical Conservative approach to achieving that goal, i.e. having people of different races and backgrounds all acting civilized and getting along (i.e. "acting White" according to modern leftists) and not even acknowledging or addressing or probably even thinking about "race" in the first place.
The fact that Nu, Leftist-controlled Sesame Street in the HBO-Era is drastically different than it was through its entire history up until now is proof that leftist wokeoids are the ones that have lost the plot and clearly didn't understand Sesame Street's wholesome and politically-neutral intention, not their opposition.

As people have mentioned there were puppets of different heritage. One specifically, Rose, was teaching Spanish on the show. Here's whats different: Back then the focus wasn't on the color of skin. That shit wasn't acknowledged. It was the culture. The traditions. Thats not something black people have. Not American black people. They... "share" the same culture as white people. Any focus on the aspect of black families will simply be seen as stereotypes. So inevitably they just have to do the same black exellence shit that props those people up in unnatural ways.
I prefer the Chappelle's show version
Wasn't Katy Perry on Sesame Street in a lewd dress?
Even if that were true
It's not up for debate, sorry. Yes the show was made to appeal to all kids but it was absolutely made with black urban kids in mind, a demo the creators felt had been neglected in past programs.
