Black Don't Crack!

Black people don’t normally undergo: tanning, Botox procedures permanent makeup (to name a few). One of the reasons may be because, as a whole, we are too scared of what we will look like if the procedure doesn’t turn out like we’d hoped. There are a few horror stories out there of some facial infections that people got after paying all that money to get these things done. For me, the risks exponentially outweigh the benefits.
One day, some of my colleagues were talking about Botox. Someone has a “Botox lady” and was thinking of having a Botox party. (If you’re confused, a Botox party is like a pampered chef party except the only thing for sale is injections of Botox). We were getting all excited about getting together and having this party. So they asked me, “Sam, if we were to have a Botox party would you want to come?” Of course I would want to come! “Sure. But I won’t be getting any Botox,” I state.
So here’s my reasoning. I won’t be getting any Botox because I won’t be needing any Botox. There’s this saying/colloquialism that states it simply: ‘Black don’t crack!’ That means, black people in general do not get procedure like these wrinkle removing ones and others because our skin doesn’t succumb to wrinkles under “normal wear and tear.”
My friend stated one of the differences between white women and black women perfectly after she understood what I meant. She texted me about an hour later and said, “I guess now I know why they call white people crackers!!!” This is coming from my friend who is white! I frickin’ laughed my butt off the whole way home.
