Black women marry across class lines, but not race lines.
They marry down but not out.” Yes, the rules in the dating market have changed for Black people over the past several decades, but they’ve shifted for everyone.
Blanks uses statistics to justify his position without taking into consideration some of the very real issues that those in interracial relationships face.I know from personal experience that two people from different worlds will have to work extra hard to understand what it means to be in their significant other’s racial shoes.Another point that Blanks made in his argument for interracial relationships was that the typical eligible and successful Black man he is a commodity and will use this to their advantage with women.And let’s not forget that the statistics say that Black men aren’t buying into marriage either. That’s like Johnnie Cochran giving the State of California inside information to gain OJ Simpson’s conviction.As commitmentphobic as Black men supposedly are, I think there’s a valid reason to say that this advice dispensing could be viewed as a serious conflict of interest.
