Elmo told his dad he doesn't know what racism means, to which Louie replied, "Racism is when people treat other people unfairly because of the way they look or the color of the skin."

"The color of their skin? Elmo doesn't understand, Daddy. Elmo has friends with different types of skin and fur too—black, brown, tan, purple…," the little one shared.

His dad responded, "I know Elmo, not all streets are like Sesame Street. On Sesame Street, we all love and respect one and another. But 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.

"Elmo wants to end racism too. Elmo wants everybody to be treated fairly," the beloved character said.
