So Sesame Street is expanding its diversity cast of Characters to explain race, but they forgot a certain character of the past...

Interestingly enough, the newest African-American muppets share the same muppet color scheme as Roosevelt Franklin and his mother. Is this the first time in well over 20 years that a purple muppet was ever used on a first-run episode?
The new Muppet characters aren’t purple. They are brown, like Kingston Livingston III.

I also noticed that it looks like Elijah was made out of the same Anything Muppet pattern Kingston Livingston III was.

I mean, truth be told, I do think it is easy in this day and age to just jump onto the “white ppl bad!!!111!!!” bandwagon even when it’s not called for. *cough* twitter *cough*

Just as there are sleepy white guys you can’t debate with, there are woke black guys you also can’t debate with. Both categories absolutely annoy me.

Going back to this guy’s beautiful rant:
