How do you guys think the husband feels about this?
Oh well.
Marriage worked for my parents
My mother found an ambitious nikka & she submitted
I aint getting married tho.... These bytches from this current generation are nothing like the women that raised me
I aint ever gon marry these hoes
Another note: I strongly dislike 'thinkpiece' culture. See below:
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, of associate's and bachelor's degrees awarded to black students between 2013 and 2014, more than 60 percent went to black women. Meanwhile, Michelle Alexander points out in her book The New Jim Crowthat there are more black men under correctional control today than there were under slavery in 1850—at least 1.7 million, to be precise—limiting their opportunities for education and employment. Black men are roughly seven times more likely to be killed than black women.
Even if black men overcome all this—if they survive, if they thrive—they do not want to marry a woman like me. Black men are twice as likely as black women to seek marriage outside of their race. Statistics collected by OkCupid reveal that black women are the least desirable demographic in the dating pool.
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Namely, though Black men are twice as likely to marry out as Black women, we still marry out less than men in every other minority demographic (Jews, Hispanics, etc.) except Asian men.
The problem is not enough of us (proportionally) are getting married. If a Black woman does get married she stands a better chance of the marriage being to a Black man than any other group except White people who are the majority. Committed Black men want Black women, it's this #GMB shyt that is hurting us.
Also correct me if I am wrong, but aren't Black men the second lowest demographic amongst males in these online dating sites following Asian men? It's not like people think that everyone is on our dikks. We aren't far above Black women. When I was single I remember 90%+ of the non-White/non-Black women's profiles often listed everything in a partner except Black and Asian.

But it really takes a bytch nikka to allow a woman to choose them instead of them choosing you.
not trini but depends whether son is actually from trinidad or from somewhere else. in any case, marriage is not necessarily a big deal in caribbean cultures in comparison to africans/south asian etc. i can count the married couples in my family on one handI hear her husband is a Trinny. @Dip has the Caribbean knowledge - I don't know the pathology of Trinny men.
Its black men who do the choosing so its impossible to say that statement. If anything it would be marriage is not for black men thats why there are so many people planning a baby instead of planning an marriage, plus on here we have GMB.
