What are you on about?
Anything labeled as "black excellence" often has the person in an unhealthily overworked and vulnerable state, with the message being if this person can work at McDonald's with a baby then all of your problems are non issues and you have no excuse to be suffering.
The black community defends this abusive shit because they take pride in being "strong". They'd overwork their children to near death for a high school diploma, and when the children have zero energy for anything else in their lives they're so lazy. They are power hungry dictators as parents because they believe the trauma will make the children "strong".
If any other race did that it's abusive, but when black people do it it's "empowerment". The mother takes pride in being a Strong Black Woman and the baby will 100% use this upbringing to flex on their peers for Having A Hard Childhood.
Oh, right, I'm white on the inside. I should go back in my lane playing animal crossing and listening to Taylor Swift. There is no toxicity in the black community.
I see. Thanks for explaining. I am not familiar with this concept as there really are not many black people where I live and also the whole work culture is quite different.
