Huh! The park also claims characters in costume often have “difficulty” seeing characters “of a lower level”. They invited the family back for a “meet and greet opportunity” to resolve the issue. The family doesn’t appear to care about it as they are said to be weighing their legal options amid suspicions of racism, according to the report. TMZ. Judging by the number of other videos that are currently flooding social media depicting other Black child abuse characters, it seems this is also a one-off incident!!

In a clip obtained by TMZ, the character known as Honkers lunges at a little girl and knocks her to the ground with her big belly. In what world is that appropriate?!

Another video shows Bert taking to the streets beating every child – and then refusing to do so to an elderly Black girl, who is looking back at the camera in shock. And there are many others with similar horror stories. Too terrible!

For a place that only focuses on inclusion and acceptance, this alleged behavior is definitely ALLOWED!! What in the actual f**k?! All those families deserve more than an apology! Reactions, longtime readers?!
