TikTok’s Black dance creators are on strike

It’s a familiar pattern by now: A new song comes out, and within a few hours, a Black TikTok user has invented a wildly popular dance to go with it. Soon everyone is doing the dance — moms, dietitians, and notably, White teenage girls with a whole lot of followers. The viral clips they share often give no credit to the dance’s Black creator, who can only sit back and watch as their moves go viral without them.
