Why has the Rate of black people in interracial Marriages sharply increased in recent years?

[Voice of Reason]

Do you want the politically correct answer or the raw unfiltered answer which opens a new can of worms we don't want to discuss

unfiltered

A conversation about interracial marriage? What is this, 2003?

 

[Premeditated]

I'm not pro white supremacy, what is you talking about. All I'm saying is that black people world wide are kind of dune. We have a lot of catching up to do, but other races keep lapping us it's not even funny. The country I grew up in (Congo) is prettty much done. Nothing can save that country adn they are losing smart Congolese everyday due to brain drain. Look at all the black people marrying out in the U.K. and Europe. It is what it is breh.

not every black country has a bleak a future like Congo
the region of congo has probably never really had a history of running a stable economy, pre colonial and post colonial.
just speak for your country

I'm going to guess that it's related to education, as in I bet the overwhelming amount of black people in interracial marriages have a B.A. or better. Even though schools have been integrated forever, on a number of campuses, black people in general are a minority. In graduate programs, that's probably even fewer.

On most campuses, unless you go out of your way to find black orgs, you're probably just dating whomever you're around, so whites and Asians, mostly.

That extends into the workplace post-college since workplaces are also grouped by educational attainment. Unless you go out of your way to date in the race, you're probably getting to know white and Asian people with mostly white and Asian friends. Most people still get married to the people around them even with the rise of dating apps.

The stuff y'all say about black folks from the suburbs is probably tilted most toward education now since the suburbs are integrated and white and Asian people with money are moving back into the cities.

That's my guess, anyway.

This is the most accurate answer. I say this as someone who grew up in a lower middle class family in the hood, which is now gentrified, and our parents didn’t allow us to socialize with the local kids who went to public school. We went to Catholic schools, which had a decent amount of black kids who came from decent families, and always went to camp in the summer, and those were expensive camps with majority white kids. So my Catholic school friends, and church kids were the only black friends we had.

As I got older, a lot of my interests didn’t have a lot of other black people around. I had to ditch my white friends around the time of Trayvon, because seeing their social media posts really opened my eyes to how white people really feel about black people. They feel their black friends and partners are “different” from other black people, while looking down on our race.

So my friend group became the friends of my brother in law, and friends of my friend who I’ve known for years. I was in a long term relationship with a beautiful black woman that ended a couple of years ago. I literally have to go on field trips to meet single black professionals. There are no meetup groups near me. I would have to drive an hour to find groups to hang with. I was thinking of starting my own group. But Covid killed all my plans this year.


At this point in my life, with everything that has been revealed throw social media and comment sections, there is no way I could marry into a white family.

I don’t care how “woke” you think she is. Her family and friends will most likely be closet racists, and you may not hear them slip up for YEARS. By then, you’re married, have kids, and you’re raising biracial children in a family of racists. I believe in group economics, and being pro black, but how could I teach that to my child if their mother is white?

I can’t do it.



I can possibly see myself with a Latina or middle eastern woman, but even that doesn’t feel right, at least right now.

And I hate to say it, but a lot of these black women are not taking care of their bodies, and not dressing in a feminine manner.

And this just reinforces my point that these "norms" of what a man or woman should be, do not work for all black people. I'm not saying it's not something ideal, but we have to be realistic. Black men and women should understand, men have a greater role in the family outside of providing. If statistics are showing that black men are under educated and underemployed, while black women are slowly trending in the opposite, it wouldn't be smart to seek these traditional associations with one another.

One of the best things about some black women is we aren't afraid to step outside of roles if that's what it takes to get the job done and I don't feel some black men do the same. It's like if I can't do X, then I'm not valuable at all. There is nothing wrong with men taking on more of the household and parenting duties if the woman is making the greater salary. He could also be developing himself through formal training or education while doing it. A man's "contribution" shouldn't be tied solely to his ability to go to work.

black men still make more than black women so you can stop with this bullshyt "more educated" trope yall always use

most black women are still graduating with these useless communication and sociology degrees and still working jobs where a 4 year isn't even the absolute requirement

*sucks teeth*

that more educated shyt means literally zero in the grand scheme of things. What are you majoring and what skills are you developing is important. Someone with a bachelors in journalism is technically more educated than a welder. But some of these welders are pulling in $50 an hr easily. And as a society we can all admit welders are more valuable than journalists. Just because you went a more traditional route it doesn’t mean you are more equipped to provide society with better service. It reminds me of high school. Yeah you got an B+ on the exam by regurgitating facts about fukking rocks, but have difficult passing your fitness exams during gym.

What do you think is more important in the grand scheme of life? It’s like people are still stuck on a piece of paper and validate themselves by that shyt. It literally means nothing, as society dictates whats valuable and society is showing exactly what it’s showing. Which is why a lot of these muthfukkas are graduating with these liberal arts degrees still crying about either not finding jobs or getting paid very little. Your service isn’t valuable enough. Get your skills up!

 

[philmonroe]

That makes sense. Don't see the cause for alarm like most people in this thread.

Most people in this thread are black versions of 8chan cracker weirdos. That's why they care about shyt that if they left the house isn't really a thing. If it is show the proof in their real life and guarantee none of them can.

They don't want to talk about this, but still male and female are made to be together, regardless of race. I can't hate if the situation is just organic.

 

[LiveFromLondon]

It's a funny situation; the people who inspired you to hate yourselves are the one we look to for adoration and solving our own issues.

This why you should never take any of that pro black talk from some of these nikkas seriously

Why do you say that? I say that because these dudes are caricatures of pro black. Most of,these super online pro blacks aren't real because offline they know they don't move like this. They just black versions of their loser white counterparts on this issue.

So you wouldn't have no problem with intermarriage with cacs if they were genuinely non-racist?
