One Simple Question - Do Black Women Really Want To Get Married?
When I was posting on another blog, I wrote an extensive piece on black women and marriage. Despite the sad statistics on black marriage and the fact that I pointed out that many black women are not interested in marriage or that some black women have no business EVER being married, all kinds of black women came out of the woodwork, swearing up and down about their wedding day dreams.
Yet every time I look around black women are single. And I mean single, not alone. There is a difference. Plenty of black women have healthy and hearty dating lives. I just wonder why black women getting to the alter still seems to be an issue. Particularly for educated, financially sound, well-traveled, high-powered, and ambitious black women.
I unintentionally revitalized this discussion with my posting on the African American women being picked by President-Elect Barack Obama for positions in his cabinet. An awesome bunch of brilliant black women - currently without husbands (notice I didn't say black, it really should not matter in the multi-cultural 21st century)
Spare me all the stereotypical excuses, lack of good black men, black women are too picky, too educated, too mean, etc..... Something else is going on here. Tell me what do you as a black woman think about marriage and I mean what you really think! Other folks are more than welcome to join in, but I am not responsible if you say something out of turn that strikes a sista's nerves.
