12888135, marriage is an economic institution, more than anything
Posted by kayru99, Thu Aug-27-15 08:04 AM
think about the economics of the black community post 1980, ESPECIALLY re: black men.
Marriage to white Americans means something different because they quite literally live in a different social and economic reality than we do.
Throw in the fact that most of us know/grew up in varying degrees of dysfunctional environments, and there you go.
Also, there's never a discussion about the emotional health of men AND women. Just because a woman's resume makes her marriageable, doesn't mean she'll be attractive/right as a mate for everyone/anyone, or a healthy parent.
But, meh.
