Black Woman Blames White Universities For NOT Hooking Them Up With White MEN

“Securing a spouse isn't the ultimate agenda for us. That doesn't mean we aren't interested in it, but it isn't the reason we are choosing to further our education at said institution."

I thought it was a pretty thoughtful article. It highlighted issues Black women (and Black men) face due to negative stereotypes and systemic racism when looking for a partner in and outside of their race.

Whether dating to marry or focusing on dating at all is a priority for Black women in college, uncontrollable factors like systematic racism, preference, and stigma in a society influenced by western beauty standards play into the experience of singlehood amongst Black female college students.

According to the book "The Dating Divide: Race and Desire in the Era of Online Romance," young Black women, like most everyone else, want to marry someone who's similarly educated. But in a society where Black women are among the highest educated female demographic in America (in terms of post-secondary education) and only 36% of Black male students complete a bachelor's degree within six years, the dating pool drastically decreases for college Black women seeking an equal on campus.

"We have an economic system that creates real inequality, in particular for Black men. And so you have a situation known as the marriage squeeze, where Black women tend to be more highly educated than Black men because of the different ways in which a racist society impacts men versus women," said Jennifer Lundquist, professor of Sociology and Senior Associate Dean of Research & Faculty Development at the University of Massachusetts, and co-author of "The Dating Divide."

Issues like a higher mortality rate among Black men — both for health reasons, but also systematic violence — including police brutality, affects the gender proportions in the Black community. In terms of challenges surrounding completion of secondary education, factors like being a first-generation college student, needing to work a full-time job while in school, or not having the savings or financial support to afford tuition slow down the rate at which Black men graduate.

Single white women are the wealthiest demographic of single people in America

Their wealth levels skyrocket once they get married.

The wealth levels of elderly white women in America are insane.

We’re in a time now where that “College education” tag don’t really mean a whole lot

This aint the days of a different world. Half of everybody has some type of college education that wants one. It’s no longer an exclusive opportunity

I'm not even touching the thread title topic


But this little tidbit screamed out at me from the article.

"For Black women attending college, we're really striving to level the playing field or become economically stable. Our goal is to secure a career, and in turn, secure our families," said Anjerrika Bean, the assistant director of Howard University's Center for Women, Gender and Global Leadership. "Securing a spouse isn't the ultimate agenda for us. That doesn't mean we aren't interested in it, but it isn't the reason we are choosing to further our education at said institution."

White women don't think like this.

These women don't really want to marry black men is the real issue. That's fine. We see it.

Black men move accordingly.

My thing with these discussions about interpersonal relationships is: so what is the "solution"? What do these women want to be done about this "problem"?

Not enough athletes or entertainers to make up for their “blackness”

Plenty of stipulations placed on the black men in her circles. While as we know, Conrad can just be Conrad.

I can't imagine being an adult and letting tiktok make me jealous of anything, especially getting married at 22

As we speak there's literally another PAWG thread right above this one so let's keep the hypocrisy down a bit.

Some of you dudes worship white women as much as some of these wenches worship white men

That's just it. "Conrad isn't paying attention to me so I'm going to write these 400-word psuedo-intellectual essays about interracial dating to dissimulate my unwantedness and hold black men culpable"

Want black men that are educated, are not the ones they physically attracted to. Not every black man is some 6'8 chiseled ballplayer with clout and swag that is a 6 figure earner.

Hate to say this, but outside of staying in shape for health reasons, too many black folks are throwing away good partners over extreme sexual attraction. Like, wanting dudes to be some sex god to them as a regular standard.

Good catch




At the height of national interest regarding police brutality against black men, this is what her focus was. Sexual and romantic relations with white men. They get passed around by cacs throughout university then at the end with no ring to show for it, they want to bark down black men's neck or reform as blickity black to catch a simp
