[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan: [QB] Originally posted by Truthcentric: [b]Something for both the black woman-bashers and the anti-interracial dating people to ponder over: [URL=http://dateawhiteguy.blogspot.com/2009/10/black-women-and-white-men-receive.html]marriages between black women and white men are more successful than marriages between white men and white women, black men and black women, or black men and white women[/URL].[/b] Good info, although the sweeping claims on some websites of a parallel situation where black women will eventually out-marry to the same extent as Asian women may not be warranted given the smaller numbers of BW/WM unions. Only time will tell. Nevertheless, this research contradicts claims (some advanced by the Mormon Church for example, among others) that interracial marriages are automatically "doomed" simply because they are interracial. According to this data, the BW/WM couplings posted a better showing than all-white "role models". The growth rate for such couplings BW/WM is actually higher than at present than for BM/WW. Will "aority" be achieved? Only time will tell. The BMale/WFemale couplings rate is higher, and is the type of union most opposed by society. Social opposition for the B/W couples was also much higher than for other groups such as Hispanics and Asians the article notes. Generally the overall IR divorce rates are not that much higher than for white unions: [quote][i]"For example, Bramlett and Mosher (2002) found that 41% of interracial couples divorced by the 10th year of marriage compared to only 31% of same-race couples. Heaton's analysis using national survey data found that interracial marriages were 13% more likely than same-race marriages to divorce, after controlling for social and demographic background characteristics. Using a similar list of controls, Kreider (2000) reported that interracial marriages tended to have shorter durations, but she concluded that factors such as age at marriage and educational level have more impact on whether a marriage dissolves than couple-level racial dissimilarity." [/i] Tables in the article weblink do not show, but the bm/wf pattern is significantly larger, with divorces twice as likely compared to white unions, although still lower than Asian male/white female unions. Other factors such as age play a part (the blacks married younger) in marriage dissolutions besides race the article notes.*edit* This higher risk pattern is well known, but the data in toto, including the female pattern, hardly supports the earth-shattering, apocalyptic tone we hear from certain quarters about automatically "doomed" interracial marriages where black folk are involved. Strangely, stats for IR marriage actually show more stability for these couplings than same-race unions prior to 1980. "Among those marrying before 1980, the likelihood of divorce for same-race marriages was actually slightly higher than for interracial marriages (51.1% vs. 46.3%)" While B/W IR unions are a small minority of unions, the data shows that the performance of white "role models" on the marriage front is unimpressive to begin with, and the primary force in destroying the institution of marriage as it is traditionally known is also centered among reputed white "role models" - namely white homosexuals at the present time.
