White Women Are Winning: Step Your Game Up!

So, apparently, white women ARE winning. According to this article published in UPTOWN magazine by Andrea Michelle, white women are #winning when it comes down to playing "the ultimate title of WIFE". I'm not really sure where a lot of black women opinions lie with this but I read the article and I feel as if it is somewhat correct. Here is an excerpt from the article itself:

"With the odds in their favor and a societal veneration of marriage, white women will more than likely find who and what they want in partnership. Therefore, they have the luxury of approaching their dating life with a more optimistic attitude and more discerning requirements for potential mates. Do communities of color hold the same hallowed respect or feel the same societal pressures to form the ultimate union? Precipitous erosion of the black nuclear family and generational, single-parent households suggest a different perception of marriage. Equally as troubling is a potential systemic shift in the psyche of young black children regarding marriage. A 2006 account of one Washington Post journalist’s visit to a DC-area middle school unveiled that some among our future generations already believe that marriage is for white people."  

To answer the question stated in the excerpt, I do not think that communities of color [mainly black communities], do not have the same respect for marriage. Yes, they feel the pressure but most definitely tend to ignore it. In addition to that, I can totally see why the psyche of young black children towards marriage has drastically shifted. I know I probably sound like my mother when I say this but, pay attention to the music today [mainly hip-hop]. As much as I love to sing along to ALL the songs, you have to listen to the message they're really sending. Us, as adults are able to decide whether we do or don't want to ultimately get married or have a long-term relationship, but when young, influential kids and teens hear lyrics like, " We ain't goin steady, we just be f**kin' round...", what are they taking from that? 


I'm speaking from experience because I've been married. Although, it wasn't to the right person, I went in open-minded, loving him & myself, faithful and patient enough to work out our difficulties; he on the other hand was the total opposite. I believe that us as people PERIOD need to get in touch with our inner selves and figure out EXACTLY who we want and what type of relationship we want with that person. This way we won't HAVE to lower our expectations, settle for less and be willing to be in a long-term, committed relationship such as a MARRIAGE.
I WANNA HEAR YOUR OPINIONS!! COMMENT PLEASE!!
