I gotta put this down here and hopefully start a discussion. It's a thread made of a bunch of retweets and replies and whatnot eventually referencing a book on what's wrong with the black dating market.

Maybe just start there and go down the thread but there might be some stuff above it or whatever.
Basically the main point is
how black women marry down class lines more than anyone else in America, and it actually hurts them.
I don't think I have to go over the problems with the black dating market in this thread and how black women are treated in this area in general. One thing about this I think is interesting though is how this is another way in which white American society is starting to mirror that of minorities economically in this country. I think there was a study in a news report not extremely long ago revealing that the number of marriageable men does indeed go down when the economy overall goes down, and an oft repeated news topic of the last few years has been the "dating apocalypse," or how educated professional women are having a harder time finding "good" men. Meanwhile, we got these threads now about how the health of white men is in decline both mentally and physically and how that's starting to close the gap between whites and minorities, specifically black people. Basically, the problems that have been plaguing the black dating market are beginning to creep up in the dating market overall because greater economic shifts over the years. I think the worst-case-scenario end-point is basically where Japan is now.
Oh and there's also how successful black men are the most likely to marry out racially.
