The only “green” thing they want is mud.
Children’s entertainment giant Nickelodeon has recently been discussed online by conservatives on Earth Day, specifically discussing how pollution affects communities of color.
“Learn the meaning of environmental racism,” Nickelodeon Tweeted on fridayAlong with a video of the segment, which is currently viewed nearly 500,000 times.
In the clip, part of the “Nick News” series, host Jamie Yukkas discusses why some areas face more health hazards than others.
The CBS News correspondent pursued inequality for “environmental racism, a form of systemic racism where minority and low-income communities are surrounded by health hazards because they live near sewage, mines, landfills, power stations, major roads Huh.”
Examples range from the poisonous air in the POC-populated South Bronx to a mining project in San Carlos, Arizona that, according to the clip, would “discredit the Apache holy site”.
Needless to say, the PSA does not sit well with right-wing audiences, who have accused the network of attempting to inspire children. Nickelodeon’s official account replied, only to be inundated by a vicious retreat-storm.
“And with it my family will never see Nickelodeon,” Damn one affair. “Keep your politics out of our children’s shows.”
“I remember the good old days, when Nickelodeon brought equality to the world by hurling green mud at someone who had overcome his ignorance,” Wrote another critic.
Senior Editor of Townhall.com Matt Vespa mourned, “Remember the good days’ when the network just saluted your shorts, oh man, rub, Pete and Pete’s adventures, Rockos modern life … and didn’t do this leftist drive. Sad – really sad.”
Nickelodeon is not the first Kids Entertainment Titan to accuse children of being forced into anti-racist politics. Disney created an uproar in March after dropping several “racist” titles from Kids Profile on Disney Plus.
