Its provocative conclusion is that black women would benefit both themselves and the black race if they crossed class lines less and race lines more.

The concept of marrying down is fucking stupid.

marriage numbers are low all across the nation because marriage no longer has as much benefit for men as it used to

their is no social benefit to it. women no longer look up to men or respect manhood the way they used to and it works the other way around also.

they don't rely on us, they don't need us in 2014 some women are quick to say they don't need a man so then why the fuck should men go out of our way to marry you?? and because the laws are anti-male by marrying you we put ourselves at monetary risk. I will get married... have the ceremony and live with a woman as a husband but i won't ever sign any legal documents

To add on to this; the penalties of marriage outweighs most of positives and custody of kids defers to the mother 90% and thus child support. If you can't pay the child support then you may lose your freedom. So co-habitation in 2014 seems very appealing to most men.
 
All I know is that my grandparents have been married since 1948 and my parents have been married since 1972. Ive been married since 2007 but lets just say I understand why marriage rates r declining
 
No.

Black men just need to respect themselves and stop dating/marrying bottom feeders just because they are good looking.

These athletes and entertainers are just the tip of the iceberg.

If men married into status and wealth instead of sex appeal there wouldn't be such a high divorce rate.

 
Niggas ain't used to having shit.

You think as soon as we get our lives together we ready to share that shit?

....and have a "LAWFULLY wedded wife".......? The law, nigga? Nah.

It's like saying "baby I love you..baby I trust you....oh but here sign this contract with the Feds blood in blood out nigga"

Marriage is for broke(r) person in the relationship.

On that note, would I marry Oprah? YES!

Nope, though from the looks of things, it makes for a compelling argument. Black folks don't want to hear that though...and titangraphs are bullshit nowadays.

 
" I'm all about the black family...

Black excellence bruh...

Fuck being married, having kids and black women"-- IC logic.
 
This book didn't just come out. And the conclusion is bullshit, of course.

But the facts about College graduation rates and so on probably explain why black women these days assume that we are broke and uneducated unless there is some indication otherwise.
 
As stated in the OP, there's been a paradigm shift in relationships within the black community. Being that women have become the bread winners in the household, traditional gender roles have become obsolete. One of the main things women seek for in a man is security, both physical and mental, she wants to know no matter the situation is her man's gonna hold her down, so I understand why the rate of black women getting married is so low , with so many brothas struggling out here. Both men and women are going to have to reposition themselves in regards to compatibility in what we're willing to offer each other. Advocating the "women dont need a man" mentality is only going to result in more damage and detriment to the black community and family structure. We have to lose the "what can you do for me" mentality and start approaching relationships with a "what can we build together" mentality.
