I Got Problems!

Problem #23: Black in the streets, White in the sheets ???


Listen Later

Jordan Peele and Donald Glover are two men who have made strides in the entertainment industry showcasing Black experiences and allowing for audiences to view Black people in a different light than what we typically see in the media, yet they faced backlash from the Black community because they are married to white women....why do you think that is? Dating is notoriously difficult for Black women; in 2014, an OkCupid study found that Black women and Asian men get the least amount of matches, compared to other demographics. Research reveals that the more educated Black women are, the less we’re getting married. Black women with a college degree who are between the ages of 35-45, are 15% less likely to get married than White women. Is it problematic that there are Black people getting married to White people but still profiting from the Black community without repping it fully behind closed doors? Should more black women date more Interracially??
