Hey Babygirl! This is my first time visiting your spot. Thanks for the linkage. =)
But, yeah, I read this article the other day on a yahoogroup that I'm on. It's such a sad commentary on the state of Black love--present and future. We GOT to do better.
As a woman in her early 30's who is getting married in less than 2 months, I say what the hell ever to that article.
Every few years some dodo writes up some shit about who we (always the collective) ain't doing whatever. It was endangered Black Males, It was DL Brothas, then it was snarky Sistas chasing the Brothers off into the arms white girls. Now it's we reserve marriage for white folks.
The problem with articles like these is that folks really start buying into it and start behaving as if it all is fact. It isn't at least not for everybody who is Black. And I won't be defined in such small terms by some motherfucker who doesn't even know me.
Woo! I'm venting. But on the real this stuff pisses me off.
