Host Jamie Yuccas said, \u201cWhat do these cities have in common? They\u2019re all examples of 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Philadelphia, it\u2019s hazardous waste,\u201d continued Yuccas, who also works for CBS News. \u201cIn San Carlos, Arizona, it\u2019s a mining project that would dishonor an Apache sacred site. But it has never been more devastating and harmful than in Duplin, North Carolina, where believe it or not, the number of hogs outnumber the number of residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick News spoke to a Duplin County, North Carolina, resident named Fionia who claimed that the number of hog farms in her area is a product of environmental racism.\u00a0\u201cGrowing up in Duplin County, we would go outside and play with our friends and our cousins, whoever lived in our community,\u201d she said. \u201cBut sometimes the air quality would be so bad to the point where we would have to strictly play in the house, and that was due to the hog farms spraying feces in the fields.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the hogs do is they use the bathroom and it\u2019s mixed in with a certain water. It is sprayed in all of the fields in order to grow crops for food. It gets into our pipelines to where our water turns a different color. It can be anywhere from a rusty brown to a pink. Going to school, you would be very self-conscious because of the smell. Whenever you walk down the road and the wind is up high, you can feel it. It\u2019s like a shower on your skin and it\u2019s full of feces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"4.8130081300813\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">learn the meaning of environmental racism <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NickNews?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NickNews<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pGmqCGmakE\">pic.twitter.com\/pGmqCGmakE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nickelodeon (@Nickelodeon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nickelodeon\/status\/1385611519665246208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fiona went on to allege that companies place their hog farms in areas that are predominantly black or Hispanic. \u201cPeople are afraid to speak up because they don\u2019t want to bite the hand that feeds them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Nick News went on to cover copper mining companies that are allegedly attempting to desecrate sacred indigenous Apache land in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Nickelodeon has pushed a left-wing agenda on its young audience before.

Cohen issued a message to children earlier this week urging them to celebrate friends who exhibit transgender behavior.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s really important to celebrate International Trans Day of Visibility,\u201d Cohen told young viewers Wednesday. \u201cBecause the more the world understands, is aware of, and supports people of trans experience, the more empowered this community will be to have our rights and to have what we deserve and to be equal like everybody else.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m proud to be a part of the trans community because we are united by a common pursuit of our own personal truth,\u201d continued Cohen, who played a character named Schwoz in the show \u201cHenry Danger,\u201d which aired from 2014 to 2020. \u201cThere are most likely people of trans experience in your school, your community, friends, family. You can support them by standing up against bullying, cheering them on as they express themselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBe true to yourself as you are,\u201d Cohen concluded. \u201cYou\u2019re really important. Don\u2019t compromise. And believe in your dreams. Know that you have people like myself and other people in this community that are behind you, that support you, and believe in you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/transgender-nickelodeon-star-urges-children-to-cheer-on-trans-friends-as-they-express-themselves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transgender Nickelodeon Star Urges Children To \u2018Cheer On\u2019 Trans Friends \u2018As They Express Themselves\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
