In response to the murders of unarmed Black Americans like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless others, people across the country are having more substantive conversations about the racist violence against people of color that's pervaded in this country since its inception.

Even adults often fail to grasp the subtler and systemic ways racism pervades American society, so it can be especially daunting to discuss this centuries-long legacy with young children.


In an effort to help parents tackle these discussions with their own children, CNN held a town hall starring characters from the beloved PBS-turned-HBO children's series Sesame Street.

One of the standout moments in the town hall was a discussion between Elmo and his father Louie, who said to his son:

"Across the country, people of color ― especially in the Black community ― are being treated unfairly because of how they look, their culture, race and who they are. What we are seeing is people saying, 'Enough is enough.' They want to end racism."

Far-Right Fox News host Tucker Carlson was not a fan.

In the same week that he warned his viewers that Black Lives Matter activists were out to get Americans, he began invoking the specter of "people trying to take over your country." Tucker railed against the town hall, and the message he believed it sent, implying that it was an excoriation of White people.

Tucker: The rise of left-wing rage mobs in Americayoutu.be

Tucker played the clip of Elmo speaking with his dad, which he called "relentless propaganda."

Tucker—who his own well documented history of racist remarks—then said:

"Got that, Bobby? America is a very bad place and it's your fault. So no matter what happens, no matter what they do to you when you grow up, you have no right to complain. That's the message and it starts very young.'

He went on to say that specials like these manifested in the recent firing of a Los Angeles soccer player over social media posts from his wife. He described the post as "criticism online of the looters she was watching wreck Minneapolis."

In reality, her words were far more than mere criticism. The posts, many of which were written in Serbian, encouraged people to "kill those s***s," said things like "Black Nikes matter" and referred to protestors as "disgusting cattle."

Carlson said the United States was becoming North Korea because private companies were firing employees over posts from their immediate family. And it's...Sesame Street's fault...?

The diatribe wasn't received well online.






People were quick to mock Carlson for his fear mongering.



People look forward to the next time Tucker unironically complains about an abundance of so-called snowflakes.

A resurfaced video of Erika Kirk talking about how her late husband Charlie Kirk's brand of hot sauce reminded her of him has social media users raising their eyebrows.

The late Kirk, who was assassinated at a Utah campus event in September 2025, was a virulent white supremacist who aligned with the Christian right and advocated for Christian nationalism, promoting a nativist, fundamentalist Christian view of society. He openly attacked LGBTQ+ rights, backed the white genocide conspiracy theory, and was a major figure in the MAGA movement.

JoJo Siwa Sparks 'Trad Wife' Comparisons After Debuting Her Conservative New Look

JoJo Siwa has been in the spotlight for most of her life, thanks initially to her partnership with her mother on Dance Moms, through which she became well-known for her cute and bubbly personality, constant smile, and of course, her bright blonde, slicked back, high ponytail.

It was only years later when her mother bragged about all of the "sacrifices" she made to be successful on Dance Moms that people discovered JoJo Siwa was not a blonde at all. She had naturally light brown hair, which she described as "brown woots" when she was little, and her mom started to bleach it blonde when JoJo was just 2 years old.
