There aren't too many breakdowns by race in that article, but I'll address it from the perspective of our race only.
First off, get used to the black marriage rate dropping even further the rest of this decade. That will really only be reserved for the upper-middle class, and/or couples truly on the same page in terms of Religious/Political views, parenting, and finances. I do not personally think that is a bad thing. Right now we bring a child into this world first and ask the tough questions later. Single motherhood is massively incentivized, BGS just did a video on this today.
The article from Time only mentions single, not single and childless. Lets not act like women still aren't getting pregnant and bringing children into this world.
Now you have this educated/professional black women sector warming up to co-parenting situations. You fulfill your biological desire to have a child, while still being independent, while cashing in on the "single mother" badge and still receiving all the validation from men in public/online that you desire. Thats a Win for her.
The babydaddy still gets to impress random women with his Dodge Charger and bring them back to his 1-Bedroom apartment and only see his kid a few times a month. Thats a Win for him. All the while the child is taking that L as soon as their memories kick in all the way up to adulthood
Black women were told to become independent and get an education, they did that. I'm not saying its bad. However Gen X and Baby Boomer women did not tell them that for every action there is an equal reaction and still refuse to own up to it. Sheer stubborness to admit they screwed up just like all these articles popping up now. As if men just stopped going to college in 2019, Blue-Collar jobs just started getting phased out, and the income gap was a lie for the most part and has reverted. All while still refusing to admit feminism has over-corrected.
Our race is far more prone to seeing and engaging in Social Media Gender War divide nonsenense "What do you bring to the table, I'm not going 50/50" as well as talkingheads like Derrick Jaxn that gas up unrealistic standards for what women should only accept while never providing said product themselves. 2021 is ending on the same note as 2008 but we've got clowns out here acting like men should be taking women to rooftop bars for the 1st date and cashapping money to them for their time as if they're a Financial Dom.
The average black women does NOT want an average 5'9 man making 42k with average swag. And for black men like me that are somewhat above-average that have some combination of being over 6-feet, Corporate Job or Associates/Bachelors Degree, own a Home/Townhome/Condo, making 50-60k+, we're just in the cut looking at all this likeWe are very cautious of the women we bring into our space and know it only takes a few small mistakes or one sizeable mistake to end up back at the beginning of the board game.
I won't speak for anyone else that's single but I know marriage is valuable in the right context, and hope to be some day, but only with the right person. If that doesn't happen, that's fine, I'm not on a Red Pill Rage trip and I don't blame any women for how my life turns out at this point.
Last thing i'll respond to is black men staying home after 18 or 21. Overall I believe most (not all) men that stay home after 22 are not performing nearly at the level they could be. Myself included because I was in that category until my mid 20's. If you are working multiple jobs, helping with emergencies around the household, saving 20k+ a year, that's different.
What these articles fail to mention is that men are staying home in part because their SINGLE mother is at home (not usually an apartment) by themselves and needs assistance in some form. Even under-performing men that live at home usually provide a net utility gain through helping around the home/yard and providing security that an adult daughter would not.
The bolded is false, economically speaking most men/people are not capable of leaving the nest at 22 in many metro areas.
