12887862, Stats can be such bullshit though, no idea how you take them so

seriously.

Hell, even the whole "Black women are more educated" doesn't equate to what you might assume. For example, my boy is a mechanic, and has been doing it since age 20. His girlfriend went to USC, has her Masters in Social Work. At age 25, he makes more...but on paper, statistics and all that would show that he's underqualified and not on her level because he doesn't have a Bachelors or Master's degree.

And THIS is very common. Even my boss at work...only had an AA, yet he had a very high position in IT at DIRECTV, just as several others have. He made three times the amount of his wife, who had her Bachelor's.

Of course, some folks will run in and say "but, but but, education isn't just about salary" and I'll laugh at that, because that's usually the correlation that's made. Education = career potential = earning potential = stability = value as a spouse.
