As you all are fully aware of, Black Women are Broken. Farai Chideya has a word or 2 to say about that…
It’s open season on black womanhood. Nightline became the latest media outlet to tackle the issue of why black women aren’t married. The problem is not the topic, but the approach. Like a recent series of articles, books, and television segments (and one Nightline did last year), the show’s focus was on the purportedly low value of black women in the dating marketplace and the wisdom of black women’s choice to stay single versus marrying men who don’t fit their criteria.
Let’s get real for a minute here. Yes, black women are sometimes taken for granted by black men, and men of other races. (I’m thinking here of musician John Mayer saying he had a “David Duke c**k,” because it only responded to white women. Black womens’ response, for the most part: awesome, dude! Less dysfunction for us!) Black women also get oddly, back-handedly criticized for being too functional — for being the majority of black college graduates and growing old alone. In reality, black women with college degrees are more likely to have married by age 40 than those with high school degrees (70 to 60 percent). For white women, high school educated women are slightly more likely to have married than college-educated ones (88 to 86 percent)…

Insecure knuckleheads avoid intelligent women like Ms. Chideya because they cut to the chase and ask hard questions like ” Why is it that there is rollback to a style of beauty praised in grandmas day,complete with lighter skin and white-style hair favored mostly by Black men unable to get a woman of another race?”

The problem is most brothers aren’t attracted to intellectual nut & berry women like Chideya, not because she doesnt look like Paula Patton or Halle Berry, Lisa Raye. Because she is overweight and not attractive!!!
Chideya wants a good looking brother that looks like Morris Chestnut, Derek Luke, Rob Brown or Shemar Moore…but in reality, they aint beating a path to her door!

Ms. Chideya said she wanted that particular type? Why don’t you say you don’t find her attractive? And Halle Berry is beating a path to your door…wait she got her a white boy. My interpretation is she and other women would like to be in relationships with an intelligent, well adjusted, Black male capable of and willing to carry his share of the relationship without demanding an undue amount of attention. Whether she wants a pretty boy or one of average physique is her personal choice. Just as seems to be yours to desire video vixens who’ll cater to your whims at the drop of a thong.

Ergh! Wake up people! The sad truth is that there just aren’t enough black men for every black woman to marry. This is the case for most groups (more women than men), but the black American community presents an exceptionally unbalanced case of male-to-female ratio. I work in public health and look at population statistics ALL DAY! I’ve seen the stats and I don’t care how you crunch the numbers, there just aren’t enough men to go around. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you can’t fight facts.
