There Are Two Sides To Every Coin

I strongly believe the truth will stand on it's own, it doesn't need NBC's or Essence Magazine's help. It's when you tell a lie, you have to tell another to prop it up or give it support. Let me first say "anywhere you find true love, by all means seize it immediately." I'm not against interracial marriage, I just don't think it's the answer to the disparity between black women and the institution itself. I agree with something I heard someone say about the statistics pertaining to interracial marriage being overblown. To go from 95,000 to 117,000 couples in a population of 303, 513,389 people isn't very much. Twenty-four Thousand people out of twenty-one million over a period of six years doesn't indicate a trend. What I would like to know is, how much has the percentage of unmarried Black women changed overall during this time? To claim 81% of respondents polled in this survey, have no problem with interracial marriage is misleading. It depends on who you ask. Who do you think responded to an Essence magazine poll?

I notice the same group of restless women keep this subject alive. Those who are educated and consider themselves to be making a good living, won't leave this subject alone. Female blacks have started their own women's movement within their own race. The last time this group got together was when "Stella got her groove back." We all know how that turned out. You never hear white women discussing marrying men of other races. They don't usually make a public issue of their personal choices. For most black women, the basis of their motivation is selfishness. When it comes to white males and their viability, this is often merely perception. They want to find someone who has as much as they feel they do, i.e., equally yoked. With sixty-five percent of the college students in the black race being female, any problem we have now is only going to grow. I would like to also know the rate of divorce and how those divorces turned out. I wonder how the women would feel about paying alimony? Where are the statistics for that?
