Griffin Speaks
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE
Single black females are having a problem finding marriageable black men. So many black men lack employment skills and are likely to be incarcerated or dead at a young age. This has caused a serious problem in the African-American community. The wedding bell blues affects all single black females at some time in their life.
When I look at my three children I have no doubt that my sons will be
able to find a wonderful mate. My concerns are with my beautiful precious
daughter, Alexis. Alexis will graduate from Spelman College, Harvard Medical
School and specialize in Anesthesiology. Who will she marry?
She probably will not find a black man with her credentials to marry.
A black man with her same credentials can marry the local hooche mama
and nothing would be said so long as the hooche mama is fine. If she decided
to marry the local hooche man, besides killing her daddy, the community
would be outraged. There is a double standard. Hopefully she will meet
a Morehouse man along the way.
Single black females are less likely to marry and most likely to divorce within 15 years of marriage according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The principal cause of the problem is lack of marriageable black men. This problem could be resolved if single black women would expand their pool of men they would consider marrying.
A few things that you should consider to increase your chances of finding
a man to marry are:
It is ok to marry a man that makes less money than you are making. It's
ok to marry a man that has less education than you. It's ok to marry a
man that prefers to stay home with the kids. It's ok to marry a man that
doesn't speak impeccable English. It's ok to marry for love.
I had a relative who lost her well-educated husband. She later met and married a man that had little education and money. My family was in an uproar. She told us that she had enough education and money for the both of them. They lived happily ever after.
There are many blue-collar guys ready and willing to share their love with single black females. If you are alone you need to consider these guys. Many of them would make wonderful mates. You just have to change your attitude. Men have had the pleasure of marrying for love for years. It's time that single black females accept the fact that they too can marry for love!
My daughter is being raised to marry for love and not money. She will make her own money. If she wants me to pay for her wedding she is perfectly free to marry any Morehouse man she chooses. He doesn't have to aspire to be a doctor, lawyer or Indian Chief. He simply has to love my daughter and when she says jump, he says, how high? That is how I see it!
