    Very true. Here in America the dynamic is the same, if you come from poverty or low income and you are black, once you make it big or start doing well financially you are expected to take care of the rest of the family and be the family bank.

    You can see the difference in perspective of the generations. The younger people are talking about monetary things, the older generation is speaking to the social equality of it. Black Tax is simply having to overachieve at work and at school (or any arena) to have the same starting line as someone from another race because the moment you fall short you perpetuate a negative stereotype in someone’s mind.

    It would have been more useful to have them discuss a set definition of black tax like the one given in the beginning of the video. They were making valid points, but it was more like a bunch of different discussions on the difficulties that they’ve faced with being black/immigrants.

    My barber provides drinks, fresh fruit drinks, red stripe beer and even Jamaican roots tonics are on the menu so maybe that's a difference between some African barbers and African-Jamaican barbers in england as the guy that said his doesn't provide drinks seems to be of African origin not by way of the Atlantic ocean.

      You coloniser low lives have oppressed African people globally, even in countries where you are no longer or have ever been the majority not just the U.S.A. From Africa through to the Americas, not excluding the Carribean Islands (Jamaica is in the continent of North America btw you bumbohole), through to Europe etc... you do what vermin do. Black people are African, no matter where we were shipped to by the coloniser. You can't take my roots from me, no matter how hard you try.

    4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
    5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
    6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
    7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
    8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
    9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
    10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
    11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
    12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
    13 Thou shalt not kill.
    14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
    15 Thou shalt not steal.
    16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
    17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

    Bizarre to insinuate that black people hold the monopoly on being economic migrants in the UK and are the only people who have to send money back to the old country or who have support extended family members. These practices are universal and not exclusive to only black migrants!

    Black tax also exist with the wage gap. Here in America, Black ppl get paid something like 75 cents for every dollar a white man makes in the same job with the same education and experiences.

    • @CorrinSpurr
      @CorrinSpurr 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The only rhing that isn't explained in the wage gap is it that the black person was employed longer than the white man, was the white man employed longer than rhe black man or was it they were hire at the same time? Because I'm going to bet the research done they are trying to compare to is misleading. Because just how many cases have they found that both were hired the same day , same company, same education, same experience to be able to make a proven fact. Because reality is neither employee situation is the same no matter how you try and compare it. The so called Black tax is a choice. If you feel obligated to financially support your family that's a personal decision because what would they do if you never succeeded in life and had no job at all? Anything to remain in the victim hood mentality mindset.
