70% of African-American Women Are Single...

Something tells me that this statistic is false. It just doesn't seem right. If it is right, what's wrong with being single, however, it's not.

That means that 7 out of 10 African-American women that you talk to will be single...Were did this statistic come from...Well, it came from no other than talk show giant Oprah...It must be right.
I'd like to know how this was done. It's not like they went door to door and asked...Right? Maybe an internet poll?

Well, people used the internet to voice their opinions on why the situation is what it is. They said that it was because black men were "leaving" for non-black women. They said it was because African-American women weren't "feminine" enough. That black men couldn’t handle a “strong black woman” that African-American women have bad attitudes and are materialistic. Oh and that the black men are gay...

People pointed the finger at the opposite sex, and people used excuses for dating outside their race…

I don’t agree with most of the reasoning given for the statistic…I may not know why it is that 70% of African-American women are single, but I know why they’re not.

So tell me, why do you think 70% of African-American women are single?
