Nope I've done it. I also know several brehs and other dudes about their business who do it. Let the internet YouTube etc and a message board tell you all brehs got 10 felonies, 12 kids and come from a single parent home.

The dysfunctional among us gets the most press. Men, women everyone loves and craves the screw up

Not everyone loves/craves the screw up. Most men and woman I know desire peace and the desire to build wealth in a family setting.

Some of yall ain't being honest and answering the question about would it better the black community. Idgaf what yall like or want. Would it make the community better is the question
-Why would we not think about what would make us happy. If me & others in here would be unhappy with the arrangement then we can assume more people will. A bunch of people forced into relationships they don't want & aren't motivated to maintain isn't going to help.

-It's like another breh said, this isn't our generational custom or something we value.

That's clear to me .



I was speaking on the loud wheels that need the oil in our community. U got folk waiting till their mid 30s to talk wealth building and marriage. These same individuals was talking sowing their wild oats/ exploring options coming out of college. Mid 30s no one wants a used truck or car with hangups and resentment from both sexes.

Last weekend I attended the wedding of a childhood soccer rival and good friend. He and his wife are 24. In the room was generation bread several yrs into the future. They went to a well known highschool that's private and tough to get into. They were friends went away to different universities reconnected and got married. There grandparents bought them a nice house.

We have well off black folk that didn't play sports. It's only us that are looked down upon coming from generation bread. I've seen it while campus here. This get it out da mud is a sickness.

In some cultures, parents from various families just suggest that you marry their son/daughter. Not so much as arranged but rather facilitating pairings between good families


They facilitate it to get something out of it though. They not doing it cause they care about the well being of their children. It's usually some favor for a favor type shyt

Arranged marriage worked better back then because families were actually getting property, livestock and other tangible benefits along with the pairing of the spouses. And women were considered property, not citizens.

Nowadays, parents receive no benefit from their kids getting married besides peace of mind and grandkids. And women have rights now. Best believe modern women ain't going for no arrangement nonsense.

No, because we never had a culture that was based on keeping a legacy in America.
arrange marriages only work in places that do.
I think it's more that there's a much greater emphasis on individuality, rights and free will. Those concepts don't exist in places that have forced and arranged marriages.
