I can't speak for everyone, but a lot of black men had to move mountains securing a reliable car, their own place, and a good job, especially after 2008's great recession, all the while not being able to date decent women. Meanwhile, women didn't skip a beat in their dating life during horrible economic times. When you know what it takes to finally "have it together" and live your best life, you don't want to give someone a free ride who put in zero work. That's partially why upperclass men only date upperclass women. However, if a woman has my kids, it's probably best for her to stay home and take care of them.
