Falling male earnings have led to a drop in marriage and a rise in out-of-wedlock births

Specifically, what is this chart referring to? Please expound. Black female workforce participation has always been at (and above) 40 percent, documented, since the 19th century. Let's not even take into account those working "under the table". Again I advise to review Freedman Bureau pension petitions.
Please stop talking. You sound dumb.
Female Labor Force Participation:
The participation rate of women in the American labor force increased dramatically over the period 1890 to 1970, and the jump from 18.9 percent to 42.6 percent indicated to one observer "a genuine revolution, not only in the lives of women, but in the American economy and the American family as well."' Aggregate figures such as these, however, disguise important underlying changes within various racial and marital groups. (See Table 1.) Although the extensive participation of white women is a recent phenomenon, the same is not true of their black counterparts. The labor force participation for white women more than doubled between 1890 and 1960, increasing from 16.3 percent to 33.7 percent, while that for non-white women remained almost constant (39.7 percent to 41.7 percent)
The supporting chart and information is found on page 3 of the Harvard article:
The Origin of Black and White Differences, 1870 and 1880
Black American men were never sole providers. Some type of machismo fantasy where brehs live vicariously through White men. Even in Africa, women make up 70% of the farming workforce. The women's rise in the American workforce was mainly middle class to wealthy women's movement as poor women of all races (Indian, Asian, Black, and poor Whites) were not afforded that luxury.
So less than half of Black women in America worked and worked at a lower wage and your dumb ass doesn't see how that equates to Black men bringing home the bacon?

Marriage is a scam
To provide context, rent was only 10% of income 60 years ago compared to 30% today, higher in urban centers. That is the reason why your grandparents (and mine) were able to do so. It was easier to save and buy a house regardless of income/race. Also men out earn and continue to out earn women due to societal norms gender bias. My maternal grandfather with an 8th grade education worked in railroad retired making 65K while my college educated grandmother made shy of that as a private duty nurse. My great great grandmother worked in tobacco and was able to buy homes cash in NC and Baltimore respectively as a single woman with two children as her husband was deceased. Regardless, the whole Black men were sole providers is an anomaly which may be the reason why Black women do not mind being single mothers as they have always worked and cared for their families.
This dumbass is the only person who used the term "sole providers" and is arguing against their own use of the term 
The Coli really is the land of the idiot
No, Black women have not always worked at similar rates or wages as Black men. Yes, the Black community experienced the decline in male wages decades earlier than other races thus a huge contributor to nuclear family breakdown

Nope bringing home the bacon means your women would make up less of the labor force AND the race wouldn't have the highest poverty rates. But if that is considerable admirable...
Someone with "poor economic status" who is "scraping by at jobs" or "low pay temp jobs", as the article states, is not "equally yoked" or "making a middle class salary". If you have some proof that women are "overreaching"- not your meaningless, emotionally charged anecdotes and "bets"- I'd be glad to hear it. But from what I've seen it looks mainly like there just aren't enough eligible men to go around

Bringing home the bacon literally means bringing home an income....nothing to do with sole providership....and Black men have always worked at higher rates and brought in a larger portion of family income until the mid 20th century
Most middle class people are scraping by fam and the women who are their equals are in the same economic situation. So yes, it is being equally yolked unless you think all these single mothers are making 6 figures in the middle of a long economic downturn

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
My boy has a non profit and we were there giving out rice and providing medical services... It was pretty humbling actually man... Young kids with STD's that you know some old fukk gave to them, illnesses that in the states are routine but over there are untreated for long periods of time so a simple tinea infection looks like deathI saw a ox get killed live in front of me.....I cried multiple times on that trip (to my self
) but it was sad to see honestly...
My cousin just came from Haiti attending the wedding of his half brother(they are close tho). And the wedding took place in Royal Oasis Hotel. His brother is making bank in Haiti because he worked for the Martelly govt and now the Jovenel Moise govt. Anyway, my cousin told me he saw a lot of fine ass Haitian women at the wedding. He showed me pics of the bridesmaids and the women at the wedding. I saw them pics and was like good
googly moogly. Haitian women from Haiti are the goat. Can cook and clean also has strong family values. Here in the states, there are two sides of the spectrum. There is the good Haitian girls born here but had a good upbringing. Then there are the ones who become ratchet ass broads. I see it all the time in Flatbush and Canarsie. I want to marry Haitian women just because I love my culture. I love the food, music and speaking Kreyol. Never been to Haiti tho. Yeah I know
. All my Haitian friends been to Haiti once except me. SMH.

Like I keep saying Haitian women are mad underrated. But I dislike the Americans ones.
I'm notice that when it comes to the states Miami has the baddest looking ones.

Black unemployment rates have consistently been twice as high as White Americans since Emancipation, we understand why, which is why I referred to the Freedman Bureaus records. Black women have always worked and nikkas have always been poor. The rise in out of wedlock births and unemployment amongst Whites or any other group isn't economic, it's moral as families are disintegrated and people are pretty much selfish and whorish. fukkery is promoted, not family building. Birth control and abortion allows women to live free and men to be irresponsible. Religion is frown upon and welfare and incentives allow people to walk away from families since tax money subsidizes consequences of free will. Foreigners do better because they understand the value of family and networks. I married one.
Working low pay temp jobs is NOT middle class. Unless "low pay temp jobs" = $30-40K/yr "Most middle class people are scraping by fam and the women who are their equals are in the same economic situation.
