While listening to a local radio show this morning on the way to work there was a discussion on how 70 percent of African-American women are single. They took some calls from women who brought up some interesting points. One caller said she’s scared of men on the DL. Others said that some men get intimidated by women who make more money than them. According to census reports:
“For every 100 single black women, there are 70 single black men, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures, a number that does not take into account the prison population or men living in group homes.”
“According to the 2000 census, black men enter interracial marriages at a higher rate -- 9.7 percent -- than any other racial or gender group except Asian women. That's twice the rate of black women.”
So Ladies of MS, what gives? Are we being too picky? Are some black men not meeting our standards? Are we not considering dating outside of our race to find love? What the problem is??
