YouTube will create a $100 million fund dedicated to amplifying and developing the voices of Black creators and artists and their stories, the CEO announced Thursday.
CEO Susan Wojcicki committed to the multi-year fund in her mid-year update to center and amplify Black voices and perspectives on the video platform.
We have always been proud that we are a platform that celebrates a broad and diverse set of voices, she wrote. And we have implemented many policies and product features to protect our communities.
But we recognize we need to do more, in particular with the Black community, and that is why we are committing to following actions, she added.
Wojcicki cited the upcoming live stream fundraising event Bear Witness, Take Action as an example of content YouTube wishes to further promote. The event produced by YouTube Originals will feature creators, artists, public figures and activists for discussions and musical performances on Saturday, with the donations going to the Equal Justice Initiative.
The platforms Spotlight channel will focus on racial justice issues through the rest of the month, including perspectives from black community members, historical content, educational videos and protest coverage, she said.

Yes, and any company that hires H-1B workers must commit to train African Americans to fill those positions. (The theory is that H-1B workers are hired because no Americans are available. Well, here is an opportunity to train blacks to work in high tech. It’s a win-win situation)
Absolutely wonderful idea. Shove their diversity shtick up their bums and break it off.
So now she’s violating Federal Civil Rights laws by engaging in racist favoritism?
Publisher. Designate accordiningly and let the lawsuits fly.
I seriously doubt it - LEFTIST creators is more like it. Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, etc. won’t be among those they want to promote specifically because of their skin color and what they believe.
I'm guessing this fund won't result in that...
Give me black creators like those that made the great music of the 50s through the 80s. As for the (c)rap and hip-hop, well, they serve as proof that evolution in music does not always proceed in the same direction.
In any case, let the artists do what they may - and let society choose what folks like.
However, we know what’ll happen...”ve haff looked at your purchase history, and we haff vays of making you buy what is proper”.
So more videos referring to “bitches” and “hoes”.
No thanks
Oh wait til MRM hears about this!!!
Creators? I guess that rules out BLM. They only destroy.
I hope histroy marks everytime a company does this raciat bs as their ‘jump the shark’ moment.
Im boycotting anything the leftist woke crowd is backing.
You mean Black people are incapable doing it for themselves, they need whitey’s help?
It don’t get more racist than that!
white conservatives**
I bet Candace Owens isn’t going to get a penny of it.
Or Larry Elder, Or Alfonzo Rachel, etc.
Why is it that black people need special attention, special donations and special treatment? Blue parking spaces are reserved for handicapped people who need special attention, special donations and special treatment.
