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

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

"Within these homes, some of the husbands have voluntarily dialed back their careers (or quit work entirely) to care for kids and live off their wives' income. Some experts use a new phrase to describe high- income female providers: Alpha Earners. For some families, this shift works wonderfully; for others (especially those forced into it by layoffs), it creates tensions. Regardless, it's a trend we'd better get used to. Like runners passing the baton in a track event, many 21st-century couples will take turns being the primary breadwinner and the domestic god or goddess as their careers ebb and flow. Says marriage historian Stephanie c00ntz: "These couples are doing, in a more extreme form, what most couples will have to do in the course of their working lives.""

Black unemployment rates have consistently been twice as high as White Americans since Emancipation

And that doesn't change that Black men have always worked at higher rates and brought in a larger portion of family income until the mid 20th century

 

[Poitier]

Working low pay temp jobs is NOT middle class. Unless "low pay temp jobs" = $30-40K/yr ""

Change the definition of middle class when it's inconvenient brehs

Except the article isn't saying ALL men are working low pay temp jobs, its saying the wage gap is declining.....but men still earn more. Nowhere in the article does it say men make less....in fact it uses the term "significantly higher" because men are still making more but not to the same degree. So no, you're whole diatribe about women not having men who make similar salaries is just plain wrong.

you think women should date down and shouldn't have high standards, I think the opposite, we're not going to change each others minds. So let it go.

In a world where women are becoming equal to men economically, it doesn't make sense for women to generally expect a man on another level than her.

Just like men eventually need to swallow their pride and realize that women have come up, women need to realize that this equally comes with the death of traditional gender roles.

A larger portion while living in poverty is not providing especially when women are working full-time, that's basically a roommate. No one is arguing that Black men didn't work or historically men are higher earners. Bringing home the bacon implies that Black women didn't work and relied on men which they never have. Black American relationships always worked off mutualism.

sure it is...they had all the bare necessities. just because it wasn't a luxurious life does not mean they weren't being provided for

no, it doesn't

Funny how they can accept it one way and not the other

long term this shyt ain't a good thing for any society. Can't have a sizable amount of able bodied males with dim prospects in a society.

They will be open to outside voices offering them a new deal.

This is PRECISELY why I tell dudes polygamy is a bad idea.

Date who you wanna date, but you should only be allowed to marry one person. Gay or straight.

Exactly, anyone with a working brain can tell the next step for a large portion of men being unable to get a mate = breakdown of society and violence but let coli members tell it...its the next step in the liberal utopia paradigm

Umm supporting someone in generational poverty is not providing, that's a roommate which is probably why many modern sisters are going at it alone, especially with the rates of DV being higher than other races but that's for another thread. Lack of morality and disintegration of family values leads to males not working and single parents.

For Black families during the mid 1900s during leisure time, men took to the barber shops, liquor houses, pool halls and the sidewalks, while women gathered in the household and churches.

Nope, Black women were not bringing in wages until the mid 20th century. Some of you are so goddamn dumb its incredible.

This was your original reply which was not correct. Black women have supported their families financially (and emotionally).

you've gone full blown white supremacist in black feminist clothing so we'll agree to disagree

You can have "polygamy" without marriage...many women don't care about being the wife, so long as they can get the benefit of being kept.

and I wasn't even thinking about polygamy when I made that post.


a bunch of idle young able bodied man with nothing to believe in... wondering around aimlessly in life. Someone comes and lights the fire in them, giving them purpose, and a new deal.

you get a gang member
you get a new islamic radical
you get a ss storm trooper

The new age barbarians are already in the gate... Damn I think Glubb talked about all of this too

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.

Yeah, I be hearing the Miami ones are bad as fukk. Although up here in the northeast there is is some bad looking ones. But like I said Haitian women in the tristate/Boston area fall into two categories. Traditional good girls or ratchet as fukk hoodrats. And the good girls get wifed up hella fast. The game is fukked up yo.

Yeah, I know EXACTLY what you mean which is why I dislike the Americanized ones(hoodrats). I live in the Northeast too and in a town that has a large Haitian community.

I have no issues with other Americanized black women but Americanized Haitian women for some reason are

Idk why @Ashley Banks is in here protesting when she joined #importgang when she married Jafar

Talk about cognitive dissonance

Thanks @Trill Russell
