Black women are historically dedicated and remaining single due to scarcity of eligible Black male partners (despite consistently “marrying down”). Marriage (across the board) has declined as it has become less about necessity and more about status and personal fulfillment. The author’s suggestion: Black women opening themselves up to interracial marriage is the solution to their imbalance. The research and tie-in interviews didn’t feel like propaganda, but they did feel outdated as the racial, political, and economic landscape has significantly warped since this book’s publication in 2011. I feel like if you’re on social media and have done some introspection, then nothing in this book will feel new.
