Well, looking through the Paul Pogba situation, it is beyond Black Tax, you can add extortion and kidnapping to it

White people also support their poorer family members it’s not only a black thing!

[@Breeze06]

Helping family in times of need is not the same as being their sponsor.

[@danielschauffer8216]

@ they also sponsor black people have no monopoly on any of this stuff. There are cultural differences perhaps this is one as perhaps it’s more common with black people than it is with white sure.
