Black tax is the responsibility that comes with being the first to get a degree that leads you to getting employed and earn decent income while coming from a struggling family. You are expected to carry the load and more
I'm the firstborn 😂😂😂😂
Please react to the Street stylers the rugby world cup championship ceremony the game was in Cape Town between the Springboks vs All blacks you'll love it❤🇿🇦
In my final year in the university my mom called me and said "hope you know you are the one that will pay your little sisters school fees"….like I haven't even finished sch

Black people being scared of dogs can be linked to Apartheid, the police used dogs to hunt black people. They also trained their dogs in their homes to attack black people
"Umntu ngumntu ngabantu" a xhosa proverb that translates i am because we are" It's a way black people helped each other grow when one of us in the family are falling behind
But mordern eurocentric education brought by black colonized africans call it black tax because they suddenly dont see a need help fellow black people
Another reason its deemed bad is because of the capitalist society that was emposed on us by the British and the dutch that has other people calling it black tax
🇿🇦 black to break chains where there was no generational wealth and children get educated some parents are over demanding
Some family members take advantage. Other than that, we want to financially help our family members, especially parents.
Check out the Price family and how their living a good life in south Africa
"But daddy you told me not to waste paper because they cut down trees to make the paper, money is paper so it comes from trees."…. I never used that line on my daughter again
Most of us are born in “poor families” first to go to Uni or first to have a jobs that pay real money! Parents spent money they don’t have to get us education they never had so you become the “saviour” the one to build and support your siblings and fam. Apartheid legacy. But our mothers love showing off with their kids monies 😂😂😂
Once you start working and earn a salary, you qualify to pay black tax.
Even in America its like that, if your family is poor is going to be like that period
Black Tax will always be around. From generation to generation
I am Zimbabwean & the best way to explain Black Tax is the entitlement people feel towards your money largely because you share blood or friendship. It starts by simply leaving the village to go live in te city, everyone assumes you have money & starts coming with requests that need end. If you happen to leave the country it turns to downright toxic entitlement because the assumption is because you have foreign currency you have money. Parents never plan for having kids so end up parentifying their first born kids which inevitably continues cycle. For every person you help with black tax you create another 3 entitled dependants.
Black tax is not even that bad, most of South Africans are born into poor family and once you work you have to take care of your siblings
It's more like you're their pension plan because most African countries rely on pensions that are often not paid on time, if not at all. As a result, some parents, particularly mothers, feel entitled to live off the labour of the children they gave birth to. I believe this is due to the country's economic situation. By the way, JESU means Jesus in Yoruba. So this is Black tax from a Nigerian perspective, at least from the Yoruba tribe, but i believe in the rest of the tribe too. Hence, why u see us Nigerians hustle with that get rich or die trying, coupled with by any means necessary mentality. Cos they got soooo much mouth to feed or else hmmm! let's leave that there.
“Black tax” refers to the tradition of “giving thanks” to your family for having raised you, especially once you graduate and get a job. There’s an expectation that you will build your family a house, (especially before your own), help with groceries, those are the main things. They have coined it “black tax” because many black kids feel it incumbent upon themselves to do all that or they are made to feel guilty and seen as ungrateful children.
I still cant believe Lumko Johnson died, 3:53, i loved him so much and seeing him here makes me think he is still alive
Black tax usually affects first born adult children… The one who got a job or access to money!!! Helps the family! Thats black tax
black tax is basically when u start working especially if u come frm a not so rich/poor family, u become the bread winner, anyone who needs anything comes to you. It's toxic becoz sometimes ur family does not understand that u hv a life too and expences to pay. Sometimes it feels like they make u the atm. It's toxic coz sometimes u even get bashed by ur family when u say u don't hv money. My older cousins parents will even take a loan and expect him to pay for it without asking him first. He is a dad of 2 kids, they don't put that into consideration at all. He is depressed as we speak and they don't even notice. It's good to help but not to a point where u can't sustain urself and some families are so ungrateful. It's worse when the 'breadwinner' gets married becoz they send less money home becoz they now hv a new family. the family starts hating the new wife
Black tax is you paying back to the family that raised you if they are In need
But some families want black tax for soft life even if they have money
They are abusing the concept😫
Xhosa people mare so unintentionally funny 😭😭
Yeah black tax is real especially when you are a first born and what we call a breadwinner or you are the one doing well at home. They will blackmail you into doing everything. You will send your siblings to school , take care of them etc and you are obligated to do it. That's why I work hard so that I will not have to demand anything from my kids. The emotional blackmail that comes with black tax is deep. Fortunately for me my mom knows that I do what I can and when I want to and no demands. We have gone pass the blackmail but we have been there 🤣🤣🤣. I feel so offended by going to the gym struu 🤞🤣
1:05 i thought black tax was just immigrant children helping their parents back home.Unless something's been convoluted it should not be toxic
Mama i made it!!!!
First to comment ❤❤😂
