Nickelodeon pauses programming for 'I can't breathe' message


On Monday, Nickelodeon suspended its programming to air a message that simply read "I CAN'T BREATHE" for eight minutes and 46 seconds, accompanied by the sound of a person breathing.

The message called attention to Minneapolis man George Floyd's death. Floyd died while in police custody after an officer -- since-fired Derek Chauvin, who was later charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death -- kneeled on Floyd's neck for eight minutes, moments that were captured on cellphone video.

In the footage, Floyd repeatedly said "I can't breathe" while being knelt on, and the words have been echoed by protesters in the days since.

The network also offered a "Declaration of Kids’ Rights."

  1. First, the American media said George Floyd didn’t resist the cops. We now know that that was a bold lie. He resisted 4 or 5 times.

    Now comes this interesting detail about Floyd:

    “The complaint says that Floyd began saying and repeating he could not breathe while standing outside the car.” While standing! Well, that certainly runs against the Black narrative! Floyd probably swallowed his bindle of cocaine/meth/PCP as the cops approached. It’s a common tactic. He was overdosing 10 minutes later.

    But more importantly, realize this fact: every Black man who has died recently during an arrest was fighting with the cops. Had the Blacks simply cooperated with the cops (like White people do), they’d all be alive today [1]. Blacks are not innocent victims like the media and Hollywood want you to believe. Blacks are a huge, dangerous problem for America, and it’s time that that fact be publicly addressed. Idea: How about the U.S. government, instead of giving Blacks endless welfare payments, giving them one-way airplane tickets to…Africa? Nicaragua? Madagascar? Some other place with a warm climate? They could each receive $1,000 as well — paid for, of course, by increased taxation.
