The Black Menaces’ TikTok videos are drawing attention to inequities at BYU and in the LDS Church. The power of the videos is that they show the difference between what white students overlook or ignore and what Black students experience.
“Anybody who puts forth any social change, they’re considered a menace,” she said. “We want to embrace what it means to be a menace and do good.”
The Black Menaces play on other pieces of history, too. Their tagline on TikTok is, “The revolution will be televised.” They post videos asking about their own LDS culture and “the sometimes different views” in it, said McGregor, who previously worked at the University of Utah. They’re not pushing a platform.
While the Black Menaces are the ones asking the questions in the videos, they often get the same one thrown back at them in the comments over and over again: Why do you go to BYU if it’s so bad?
