The Divorce Rate IS NOT 50%

[Forlife44]

If you're black it really doesn't matter because our marriage rates are so low.

The Significant Racial Gap in Marriage Rates in the United States | The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education

In 2021, nearly 54 percent of the White population over the age of 15 was married compared to 31.2 percent of the Black population. Only 27.5 percent of the White population had never been married compared to half of the Black population.

its def higher but nikkas gotta have hope

 

[BeeCityRoller]

Dumb take. It's not high if you take away
This
That
This and that
Then this also
And I forgot about removing this factor

If you got to do all that to prove your point it's a terrible argument.

Yep, and even then you have to factor in the number of people (usually older Gen-X/Boomers) who are separated but never bothered to file for divorce. I've seen that scenario from The Lead Attorney Q&A livestreams multiple times.

Also, Ericka Williams is not slick, shes been on that divest/black men are the weakest link talking points low-key in the community posts/comments for years. Sharing Cynthia G and WS posts from Twitter. I don't care if she does collabs with other black men. I'm just calling a spade a spade since Dave Ramsey is being criticized for being a older right-leaning Evangalical Christian.

Not only for us but all races have declined. Even historically most marriageable races.

Divorce rates may have declined a bit but when you look at the marriage rates fallin off a cliff that makes divorce rate decline mean little overall

[Taadow]

that's correct, the often-cited statistic that 50% of marriages end in divorce is not accurate. The divorce rate varies by country, time period, and a range of sociodemographic factors, and it has been changing over time.

In the United States, for example, the divorce rate has been declining for several decades. As of my last update in April 2023, research indicated that the divorce rate was closer to 40-45% and was continuing to trend downwards. This decline has been attributed to various factors, including changes in societal attitudes towards marriage, the increasing age at which people first get married, and the higher likelihood of cohabitation before marriage.

It's also important to note that the rate can vary significantly based on specific factors such as education level, income, and the age at marriage. Couples who marry at a younger age, for example, have historically been more likely to divorce than those who marry later.

Furthermore, statistical measures like the crude divorce rate (divorces per 1,000 people in the population) or the refined divorce rate (divorces per 1,000 married women) can give different pictures of divorce trends and can be influenced by other demographic factors like the overall marriage rate.
Thus, while the "50% divorce rate" myth persists in popular culture, it oversimplifies a complex issue and doesn't accurately reflect current trends and variations in divorce statistics.

@Gloxina

Good post, but sounds like anecdote experience. For example there's people who make $70k and still can't budget

Good people also have to avoid those ain't shyt people's. Overall it's not worth the risk

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Brehs have resigned themselves to being bachelor's for life The whole "thug" image gets shytted on alot these days but the reality is, a lot of cats just everyones evolved to a more "mature" version. Still a 'bad boy', still bucking the system, still scared of being normal People marry wrong cause they date wrong. And they dare wrong cause that's all this country pushes now.

Men don't want to be bachelors though.

The problem comes in when you lose 50% of everything. House, car, and retirement. If your spouse doesn't make the same or close, you could possibly be in for a world of hurt.

You put years of work in and a woman says she wants out one day and gets half of what YOU and ONLY you built.
