From Janks Morton – Creator of “What Black Men Think”

Some stats to consider:
over the age of 18
13.9 million BW
11.2 million BM

2.7 million unpartnered/uncoupled if every single paired.

BM die earlier (life expectancy)
BM/BW marry later

by the age of 18 there is already a 1/2 million partnering deficit. (even though at birth BM/BW ration is 1039/1000: More BM at birth)

and why is it that everytime someone references the plight of the SBW and expanding her possibilities, it has to be the executive/educated/power woman and the janitor/trash collector/auto mechanic brother. Stereotyped/stereohyped and perpetuated by the imagery of the idiotbox. FREE YOUR MIND

I have had this conversation with someone and I tend to disagree about the male to female ratio. I am a professional black woman in a relationship and I meet men EVERYDAY. I think that if some women would really change their attitudes and not feel defined by the amount of money they make or their job they would open up and find some really great men. I think that there are alot of good men left, they just aren't given the chance to show it.
