The "Black Tax", that extra cost that African-Americans pay for existing in america. Along every walk of life. When I played basketball in junior college we always talked about it before we had to play a school which had a team full of white players. We knew how the refs would call the game, unfairly. It was never a surprise it was just an extension of this country.
​
All of us know the "Black Tax" even if we don't know it by name. We've all experienced it.
