A popular influencer apologized this week for her past racist posts on social media, prompting outrage from some Black creators who say they are tired of white creators constantly having their previous racist behavior unearthed without significant repercussions.
Who is changing if this same thing happens like clockwork?” said creator Cameron Kira in a TikTok video, which stitched footage from her own 2023 video in which she addressed a different creator’s racist tweets.
Some Black creators also said that they feel white creators who previously posted racist remarks emphasize that they have changed with little evidence to suggest they have.
She said it wasn’t until after college that she began to “shift her way of thinking.”In a follow-up video, Schofield said she “missed the mark” in her first attempt and directed her second apology to Black viewers.
We get treated like adults.”People online have become desensitized to racism from white creators, according to Barry.
