The structure combines "black" (Black people, especially darker skinned individuals) with "don't crack" (crack as in showing wrinkles or aging), forming a proverbial phrase about skin and aging. It is used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and Black pop culture to describe the observation that Black skin often ages more slowly than white skin, appearing smoother and wrinkle free for longer due to higher melanin content and natural protection from sun damage.
