What is the Black TikTok Strike? Creators Are Demanding Credit

0

The incident on The Tonight Show was several months ago, but many Black TikTok creators have decided more recently that they won’t be choreographing any new dances on TikTok for the time being.

The trend involves creators sitting while the audio from “Victoria’s Story” plays in the background. As the audio makes clear, Black women are tired of doing hard work that ultimately benefits white influencers.

“I think it is high time we let black women on this app also be famous doing the bare minimum,” the audio says. “Like I should be able to just sit here in silence and let you all look at me, and next thing you know, I have a million followers.”

The trend is about taking an honest look at who is really responsible for making TikTok a great place, and who gets credit for it.
