Marrying Your Peer, a Tougher Prospect for Black Women

[Samori Toure]

Regardless of what your point was the point of the article is that black women have a harder time of meeting their peer than other racial groups. Your point is invalid bc its not about being better than someone. It's about us having problems with meeting our equals.

LOL. That is the point. Black men and women are equals. The problem is that people have deluded themselves into thinking that they are better than other people; just because they went to college. Going to college doesn't even mean that people are intelligent.

I'm a black male in upper management in healthcare and I teach it at the university level. I also have an MBA. In every class, women outnumber men, usually by a lot. At my previous job, I used to just do head counts of men and women in manager meetings. Seriously, a 15:1 ratio between the sexes. I have been the only black male doing what I do in my areas for some years now. I know that there are underlying issues and it's not so cut and dry. However, without getting into all of that, these statistics are true or I believe them to be true. What needs to be explored is why this happens.

The people who talk up these kind of stats aren't going to explore the causes for the same reasons white racists never go into the causes of the crime stats, it doesn't serve their agenda. The black feminists who use these stats to push their "black men ain't shyt" rhetoric don't want to talk about why black women are currently excelling in education over black men because it contradicts their "black males have privilege" bs. Whites who constantly do these "studies" aren't going to go into the root causes because they know that they're ultimately responsible.
