We are going to break 4 Myths with statistics.1. Black Women Don’t Marry - 2.Educated Black Women Have It Harder3. Rich Black Men Marry Out4. Black Men Don’t Earn as Much as Black WomenDo Black people get married? That question has been asked in one form or another in a series of news reports about the Black marriage “crisis.” On the surface, such stories seem to be concerned about Black women in search of love, but these media reports have fueled stereotypes about Black people.
