Children\u2019s TV network Nickelodeon went silent for nearly nine minutes as a gesture of support for the Black Lives Matter movement. But pushing social-justice rhetoric on such a young audience has rubbed many the wrong way.<\/p>\n

The channel, owned by Viacom, stopped its transmission for eight minutes and 46 seconds on Tuesday \u201cin support of justice, equality, and human rights<\/em>,\u201d presenting children with a black screen on which the phrase \u201cI can\u2019t breathe<\/em>\u201d faded in and out, timed with audio of a person breathing. That spot was preceded by a promotion scrolling Nickelodeon\u2019s \u201cDeclaration of Kids\u2019 Rights<\/em>\u201d over an orange background and a pledge to \u201cstand in solidarity<\/em>\u201d with \u201cBlack colleagues, creators, partners, and audiences<\/em>\u201d while condemning racism and violence.<\/p>\n

The clip finished by urging viewers to \u201cJoin @colorofchange and countless others to call on public officials across the country to take real action<\/em>,\u201d and included a number to text for more information.<\/p>\n

Some found it \u201cpowerful<\/em>,\u201d declaring that Nickelodeon had done more than the government and other celebrities by reaching out to young people.<\/p>\n
