There is a new book titled “Is Marriage for White People?’’ which suggests that interracial marriage may be a solution for middle class African -American women who can’t find the “right” black husband.
Ralph Richard Banks, a professor at Stanford University who is an African American, addresses the issue of declining marriage rates among African-Americans and questions why are so many women loyal to Black men. This book explains why interracial marriage is a must.
“Part of the answer lies in the gender imbalance within the black community — where two African American women graduate from college for every one African American male. Despite this imbalance, there is still enormous social pressure on black women to only marry black men — to “sustain” the race and build strong black families. This means marrying black men even if they are less educated or earns less money. In short, no matter the personal cost, black woman are encourage to marry “down” before they marry “out,” Banks said.
