Problem there is that black women need to start being nice to white men. Tough hill for many of them to climb.

I thought a lady - a perfect lady even - never tells?

there’s STILL going to be competition for the more desirable on both sides of the equation.

I agree. In all things, QUALITY rules.
When you have a large pool of skanks, the women debase themselves.
They forget that a good man is also looking for a GOOD woman long term.
If the woman, in her quest for any man, lowers herself to skank level she will never find this good man. Instead, she'll always be chasing the latest thug and squirting out countless kids who also learn to be skanks and thugs.

Who raises black boys to treat women as disposable, abuse them, and think making babies is a badge of honor?
Black women seem to complain about the very cultural problems they add to by teaching their sons not to ‘let no woman trap you’ into fatherhood. Making babies does not - committment or responsibility.
I’ve heard that, personally.
The irresponsible black males of today were raised , by their mothers, to avoid responsibility. That- and few black women want to be ‘answerable’ to a man. They want a ‘baby daddy’, but not a husband ‘in their business’.
So the cycle continues.

[”The era of mass imprisonment began as traditional mores were already crumbling, following the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the invention of the contraceptive pill. It also coincided with greater opportunities for women in the workplace.”]

The era of mass imprisonment? That’s a new one. Is the Economist trying to compete with the NY Times in inventing new social phenomena ?

The increase in illegitimate black children and the death of the “traditional black family” during the 1970’s has been generally attributed to the 70’s welfare programs, where poor single women were in effect subsidized for having babies. There is no mention of that in this article.

On the IMDB forums there’s a loooooong thread under Monster’s Ball where a black woman took Halle Berry to task, stating that “a black woman would never fall for a white man”.

That is what made me smile at the end of the article. You have a population of black women trolling for guys and the author picked “the postman” as a good catch. I had to laugh.

This problem would be easily solved by marrying males of other ethnic groups. Also, why do so many sleep with men having several children with no two having the same mother? Stop tolerating promiscuity and criminal behavior among your men, stop having children out of wedlock, and stop blaming the problem on racism.

You said it -

women, controlling access to sex, are THE civilizing factor in any culture.

isn’t sex romance when buying dinner is involved?

Romance is when you actually go into the restaurant to eat. Love is when you go to one without a pickup window.

But the simplest way to help the black family would be to lock up fewer black men for non-violent offences.

Nonsense! How about getting black men to stop committing more crimes than anyone else for starters? . . . Where does it say black women(or women of any other race) only have to date exclusively men from their own race? . . .

Amen. It's almost impossible to get locked up unless you commit several felonies over a period of time. It's a big lie that jails are full of "non-violent" offenders. Guess what? Burglary is a violent offense. It traumatizes its victims. And how does it help families to tolerate criminal behavior of any sort? Perhaps if black women stopped sleeping with criminals they'd have an incentive to quit crime.

Some 70% of black babies are born out of wedlock. The collapse of the traditional family has made black Americans far poorer and lonelier than they would otherwise have been.

Whenever they talk about black poverty, they almost never include the value of welfare benefits. Including the value of provided housing, food, health care, government education and other benefits puts the American poor above the "middle class" in many other countries.

The core constituency of the American welfare state is single minority women having babies. Various programs are obviously broader in scope, but that is the core target market.

For women who are not very intelligent and have zero ambition, becoming what is essentially a paid government employee paid to have babies by whomever they happen to hook up with, is a satisfactory deal.

The government subsidizes stupid women with low morals to produce babies. The cycle then grows with each generation. This is the core Democrat constituency.

"With 20 women pursuing 19 men, one woman faces the prospect of spinsterhood."

With all the feminist propaganda about how women don't "need" a man, spinsterhood is still considered a curse?

At the risk of being deemed racist, an astute observer might conclude that black men prefer white women,

An astute observer might also notice, after perusing the dating ads, that the opposite is also true. There are many ads in which white men are looking for black women. Another factor this article ignores.

However, such ads seldom include the words "long-term".

Burglary is a violent offense.

Indeed. Burglary of an occupied building is a direct threat to inflict death or grave bodily harm on the occupants. In most States, it may be countered with lethal force.
