Black women everywhere are starting to collectively agree that there’s nothing wrong with going 50/50 with your man

BW like to chase thugs and ain’t shyt nikkas.

I'm still baffled on how many single people have so much advice on marriage/working relationships.

If 'men' can feel like 'women', then single people can feel like they have a spouse, dogs can feel like cats, bald people can feel like they have dreadlocks, etc.

Postmodernism is FUN!!!

BW been doing it or footing the majority of the bills. The "bw require 6 figure men" talking point is internet BS.

That sounds dumb right?
Like that dumb ass article.

“More than 80 percent of black mothers are the breadwinners (defined as sole earner or bringing in at least 40 percent of total earnings) in their household”

What does this even mean? Where’s the data on black wives? Just because a woman is a mother doesn’t mean she’s living with her husband. She could be living with cousins, brothers, sisters, etc.

A stat like that is purposely misleading. They need to show the percentage of married black women living with their husbands.

In the end though it doesn’t matter who the breadwinner is as long as everyone is contributing, but to say “BW been footing the majority of the bills” without posting the stats of married couples is misleading

You clearly never actually bothered to confirm if your assumptions are true or not. I'll just leave his here for you:

"More than 80 percent of black mothers are the breadwinners (defined as sole earner or bringing in at least 40 percent of total earnings) in their household. That’s compared with 50 percent of white mothers. And three-quarters of the black women who hold breadwinner status are doing so alone."

Despite increasing college attendance and labor-force participation, African American women still aren't getting the economic security of their white peers.

And for context, "alone" means unmarried. So it includes non married relationships.

There is no turning of the tide. BW have been ride or dies despite what fake internet personalities say.

That article is disingenuous.
It says 75% of the 80% are doing it alone. Of course they’re the breadwinner of the household, they’re the only one working.

True. But seeing how most marriages fail,

'Most' marriages don't fail.​

This article doesnt specefically say these women are in relationships. They may be "sole earner" as a single mother. And how is "bringing in at least 40%" make you the breadwinner,when its not 51%

'Most' marriages don't fail.​

42% for us is close enough. But yeah it’s not most.

 

[JuvenileHell]

this discourse is so stupid

It's easier to let dummies just get their babble off.

42% (I've seen 40-45%) isn't correct, either, but I ain't arguing the point anymore as it doesn't matter on this board.

Washington Post stats from 2016 says it’s 42% for black people. Like you said it doesn’t matter because all these studies, surveys, stats etc all say something different anyway.

Exactly. Also, notice, they never really break down the numbers (education, income, age, etc.)? That's the first clue that they're sensationalizing BULLSHYT.​

Focus on what people do, not what they say.
