Most of black people are faced or rather I
say are affected with the issue of “black tax”. According to Cynthia the term
black tax is used to describe the obligation of employed black South Africans
to provide for their family and extended family. If we are to be honest and
accurate, black tax is costs by consequences of inequality. The major issue of
calling it “black tax” is that it makes the nature of the high cost of being
part of disadvantaged group unique to black people.
Black people have degrees and doctorate but
they have not bought their dream cars yet, they are not where they want to be
or when they thought they will be with 15 years of working. The black tax issue
it blocks road of success for black people. Some people view it as a burden,
they are saying that they don’t have to repay their parents back just because
they have raised them and paid for their education.
FACTS BOX:
- · Financial pressure it put people through
- · Black tax lead to debt and emotional abuse
- · If it comes to a point where to can’t handle, sit your parents down and explain the situation
- · Organize your finances
