Black TikTokers Are On Strike And White Influencers Have Been Left To Their Own…Devices
In January, TikTok launched a program that would help 100 Black creatives hone their skills and talents over the course of a three-month period, as Blavity previously reported. TikTok’s aim was to help creatives turn their ideas into careers. At that time, the social media platform was aware of criticism coming from the Black community and stated “Black TikTok drives culture.”
“Our Black creators and artists have touched so many people across the country and around the world. Without them, TikTok would not be the vibrant and creative community we aspire to be,” TikTok said in a press release obtained by Blavity.
However, five months later, Black TikTokers still believe they are being ignored and overlooked by the social media platform.
