This is going to sound even worse, but..
I think there was some data from okcupid that showed black men are a lot more popular (based on messages sent etc) with women of other races than black women with men of other races (I have no idea why).
The uncomfortable truth could be that high-status black men have their pick of other races, leaving high-status black women to date lower status men.
- confounded 10y ago> The uncomfortable truth Which you've just fabricated on the spot based on some racial stereotypes (and your presumably very important feelings). The data reflect the same basic anti-black racism as the rest of society. https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-107dcbb4f060#.lt6ixelom https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-10...
- J-dawg 10y agoI'm pretty sure the data supports what I said, even if I missed some of the nuance. Black women are more penalised than black men.
- rhapsodic 10y agoI think you're right. I don't have a reference handy, but I recall reading a long time ago that there are more educated, professional black women in the US than educated, professional black men, and it makes it difficult for them to marry someone at or above their level in those areas. And they have a lot of resentment against successful black men who marry white women, because that further exacerbates the imbalance.
