Is there really a shortage of black men for black women to date/married? OR

[MikelArteta]

If someone's telling you that you should be happy with "a faithful bw whose fat making 11 a hour being a barista at starbucks", then yeah.

Because they're making it seem as if that's the best you can do when it comes to bw.

black men aren't on the bottom of the totem pole when its coming to dating

black women aren't in jail at the rate black men are, we don't have to "settle"

LOL! I was close to calling on that. She was probably living the lifestyle because some other nikka(s) was subsidizing a good bit of it.

The only only black man that has subsidized my living was my daddy from 0-17.... When you have a career you don't have to depend on a man...

Damn, I hate to make this concession but I read the graphic wrong... It's Black Americans not just black women but here is the link...http://blackdemographics.com/households/african-american-income/

Come on, you can combine monies, you can combine dna but you can't combine signatures on a paper?



NYC

its amazing black women just point and be like were doing so well, when a black woman will always get higher easier than a black male.

Go to any big office or corporation there are more black women than black men, same in management etc. A black woman is two minorities a woman and black, those executive/admin assistant, nurses, government office jobs women.

Hell whr ei work thers like 950 people, only 3 black males and like 15 black women

That's how it is at most corporations, which is why I laugh when I hear brehettes say that want an Idris Elba type nikka who makes six figures. Where are they going to find those men? Cacs toss Black resumes in the bushes and also toss nikkas in the bushes after the interview if he doesn't "fit". nikkas ace the phone interview and then wonder why things go cold after the in-person interview.

Lmao please U hoe ass nikka...black men are the last organisms on EARTH to talk down on anyone when it comes to finances.

what world do you live in where most black women can afford that lifestyle? i mean, do you really believe the hype? do you think 80% of yall are roaming around with 100k a yr careers?

average black woman would be sucking dikk for weave if they cut off all welfare programs. get real [/QUOTE

Exactly. 50% of all Americans are making less than $50K. 80% of all Black people in America are making less than $50K. I'm baffled at where Black women are going to find all these eligible men who make more than $60K/year.

Living the life on $35K in NYC?

But there are structural forces that condition Black men to not be attracted to their racial counterparts (media). There are structural forces that limit the amount of viable Black male options for Black women (jail and employment opportunities).... These forces support the eradication of the black household and support the Black woman being the head of the household solo dolo.... In essence, these social structures forces a Black woman's hands to be a financial provider before a cook and toughen up to compete in a male driven market...

This ain't LSA get that first sentence all the way the fukk outta here. Can't nobody talk about no damn forces to condition shyt when 9/10 black dudes are married to black women. Anybody spouting otherwise male or female is a fukking moron and or probably ugly. That's the only way you would even try to run with that bullshyt to excuse why you not prospering. Similar to some black dudes saying the system holds them back but they playing games or some other bullshyt instead of improving. At the end of the day alot of people just have excuses male/female.

 

[Blah1991]

they cant get their on their own either. you need white men to give you opportunity first before you can collect your strong & independent card.

Well nikkas are all broke and no good, so if it comes from a white man, then so be it.

Yeah... I guess so....
I had my own place, traveled 3 times out the year (once out the country), went out with friends, still saved and invested....

I didn't have a car and was paying for grad school out of pocket but I was more than happy

yup just look at the theraflu thread
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/i-hate-being-an-investment-banker-life-rant.228444/

. It's not diverse. All the IB firms do all this affirmative action and equal opportunity big talk to make it SEEM like they're diverse but it's B.S check the directory of every main IB firm. There's like 4 black people per 100 whites.

They like EVERYONE but blacks. The tipping point was this week. I've been working with a black charity which helps place black kids in Wall Street bank internships. These kids are smart, have experience and we spend months prepping them interviews. Only one of them secured a role.

Mean while I have this new intern shadowing me today he is dumb as a brick and lacks basic common sense and he is somehow there.

I've been observing that in every division there's the same pattern (2 black men, 2 black women and that's it). I'm pretty certain they're only there to fill a quota. and legalities

but they ignore this, only if your the timid quiet nukka, or some half bred malcolm gladwell looking type breh more than likley your sol
