Black Women: Shedding Light on the Stats 70% of Black Women Are Single

[zettadom]

How about looking a little deeper. DO AN AGE BREAKDOWN! You know, the issue that women ignore anytime they talk about the man shortage myth. There are 106 boys born to every 100 girls. Men die younger than women so we still end up with more total women. How does an age breakdown change these ratios? Demographically young women and older women are two separate issues. Young women have a surplus of men chasing them. They still complain about a lack of men but it's BS.

[pc0p1mp]

Govt assistance, just like forced integration, forced medical vaccination, forced education of every concievable kind, forced taxation, forced social security registration, etc, etc, was all merely meant to destabilize people in general. Many things that each and every one of us have been made to think are there to aid and assist us are merely weapons that are meant to destabilize us. There world is an extremely sick, twisted place in its way.

Complete power invariably corrupts completely.

[pc0p1mp]

Filmtress: Whether we agree or not I have to commend you on even having the courage and sanity to set your video up to recieve posts and comments, its absolutely stunning how many ignoramuses and mental patients are on youtube with ultra-controversial videos with totally unfounded accusations and videos requesting answers who have their videos set up so that they can screen out people who don't agree with them or who have their videos set up so that people cannot leave comments at all period.

[pc0p1mp]

Filmtress: Just because people don't agree with a writer's book does not mean that they were wrong and scholarship is merely one dimension of credibility. Miss Ali recieved major criticism because she took on subject matter than many black people are completely unwilling to face, head on. Its impossible for black women to demand a plan from black men after spending decades claiming that they were strong and going to do everything all by themselves after recieving an avalance of govt assistance.

[filmtress]

@pc0p1mp Yes, well as long as a commentor is respectful then I don't mind hearing his opinion. Having said that. I think you're mistakenly thinking that the sisters received a lot of assistence. Often times the assistence is in no way enough to be on her own. In fact it's only enough to buy food while living in the household with another working adult. Believe me the government doesn't want anyone recipient to be well off. They don't. However, I have to address your statement: "by themselves."

[filmtress]

Con't #2 - If women had their choice, they wouldn't raise their children by themselves.  It's a difficult task. That's why whites always wanted a nanny AND a housekeeper. Black people always did it in a group. The adage: It take a villiage" came out of Africa and it's true. Sisters need help & she wants them to have two parents. However, when her desires fail for that family it's because her plans didn't come through. What is she going to do? Give up her babies? No, she's going to raise them.

[filmtress]

Con't #3 - Which means she's not going to abort nor give them to the 'system to raise'. She made a mistake and is looking for the next best option. If she was ever in love with the father but it didn't work out, then somewhere he and she or the court system decided it wasn't a good idea. Also, many sisters will NOT put up with a cheating man, an abusive man, nor a liar or unmotivated man. She's got her hands full and she can't afford to neglect her small children to care for a 'big child' (man).

[mindcontrol31]

Everything this woman said is true. Young BM I hate to say this but many BW dont need or want us. Search the entire human family if u want a wife. I used to turn down others but I ignored the evidence. I have found a BW and we will get married but it was a hard find. I feel they are more likely than any other group of women to want to be unmarried. Smash partners are everywhere but wives are rare.

[pc0p1mp]

One book is The Black Girl Curse at Amazon.com for $1.99, and there's only one book with that title. Another excellent book is The Black Man's Guide to Understanding the Black Woman by Shahrazad Ali, who by the way has a collection of extremely excellent videos on youtube. Another excellent youtube video is Strong Independent Black Woman = Bamboozled. And finally, there is a book titled The Conspiracy to Destroy Black Women by Michael Porter all of which is also available at Amazon.com.

[filmtress]

@pc0p1mp I've read "The Conspiracy to Destroy Black Women" by Michael Porter. I recommend this book. It points to the challenges dished out by society, the church, politics, Justice System, Educational System, Matrimony (Marriage), even the man she dates. It's a sick situation & a good book. But the one by Shahrazad Ali is a big fat FAIL! She fails to look at blk womens plight realistically. She later made The Black Woman's Guide to Understanding the Black Man." And the Men went BALLISTIC!

[filmtress]

Con't #2 - It seems they kicked up just as much dust about it as the women did when she (Ali) proported to write about them (men). She lost all credibility then. The was so long ago (you're late on that one). As far as "Black Girl Curse" I haven't read but by the sound of it I can tell somebody is trying to make a quick dollar. Many of these writer's lack scholarship. Ali didn't. Seeing the price of it & not hearing about it leads me to believe it doesn't have much credibility either.

[pc0p1mp]

Black women never had a problem getting men or being supported by men until the mid 70's when black women sold their souls to the govt in exchange for welfare and other govt handouts and started being totally inconcievable lowlives to people in general and started claiming that, "Strong totally independent black women are never going to need a man for anything under any circumstances" and "Get you a white woman." And today there are videos and books on "The Black Girl Curse" all over the place.

[filmtress]

@pc0p1mp Give me links to those books and videos please. I'd like to know more. If you don't then I know you're making it up and you comment will be removed.

[dantej32]

BW just do not want to commit. they want to ho around instead. BM want to make that commitment. that is why more BM are married. their decision not to marry is selfish, we see he fruits. 70% out of wedlock, children in gangs and are killing one another, poverty,

[filmtress]

@dantej32 You have that backwards. Men are dating non-black women in records numbers. Why do you think the establishment wants to lock everyone of your up? They want to keep you away from their women, sisters, daughters, etc. Many brothers believe in dating several different women at once.

[supercar28]

Excellent Video!!!!!! I agree with everthing you said. I am single, but have been in a relationship for 12 years. So to me I am married, but not the way society says, I don't have the certificate legally binding me to him, or him to me. We are very loyal and respectful to each other and it works.

[impatientwithdesire]

And plus ask yourself...when exactly were 100% of us rated in order for them to know that 70% of that 100% is single?

Also, what are the rates of other women and men?

Plus, howwould this statistic be the same in 2007, 2008, 2009, and now2010? Dont people realize this?

Furthermore, how many of them were lesbians, teens, grandmas, widows, students, engaged, in just relationships? How about them? I mean really people.

[MetaSensuality1983]

I don't understand the video. In refuting the statistic she actually proved it. She just stated the reasons why the statistic exists in the first place. The statistic is misleading in the fact that culturally it's not acceptable for men/women to marry young anymore so it looks scarier than it actually is. But it does highlight the vast immorality amongst black men/women with one another.

[invisible2070]

bw women are a finanial and legal liabities. you are making excuses for the failures of bw. After listenig to your video. I ask myself why would any man of any race choose bw for any kind of relationship.Men dont want bw as wives. Smart men still understand that 70% of bw are single. That means that bw are the least desired of all women. They have the highest divorce rates of all women. Bw have highest rate of single motherhood than any race of women.

[filmtress]

It's unfortunate to witness you buying into that propaganda. It's immature of you to believe dictators who run and promote a racist regime and society. You're going to believe your racist dictators? I remember when this same strategy was used to demean, degrade and put down black men. Some women believed it but many more didn't. That's why many of us didn't listen. We have brothers, a father, and uncles who didn't fit all of that crazy stuff they said. So why are you believing that crap?

[GBAYA]

@invisible2070

That is negro madness you are suffering of

[kaleena2006]

Very true.

[princessmeow123]

good points

[hemsyyy]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou

[GraceMassage]

Great Job. I will only post once, since I do not want any more angry men sending me emails or calling me names.

I was married, had children, now divorced and very happy. I agree with what you are saying.

More American women as a whole are living single. 51% of all American women as of 2005 are single and the precentage is growing. So, how to the haters explain that?

[filmtress]

Don't be afraid of the anger of men. They have no more right to be angry than you do. This society is VERY unfriendly to women. It's seeks to subjugate & control her; even her womb. Always stand up for your rights & beliefts. What can a few angry men do here on Youtube that you can't do yourself? You are a significant human being who's earned her right to be here & to be heard. Just think there may be a lost soul (woman) who will be inspired by your strength. So go ahead, SPEAK!

[ODOGUIDE]

MORE DELUSION

[cwjazz43]

Good points in the video. However, the part about approaching BW doesnt always work for respectable men. Its a feminist notion and sexist to think that women are the only choosers. Both a man and a woman must mutually agree to choose each other (Amos 3:3). Men who think women are the choosers surrender their own power to women (Proverbs 31:3). The power to choose works both ways. No matter how much a woman may throw herself at a man or desire him. If he does not want her she cannot have him.

[vlb8012]

The Willie Lynching of the Black Female. Its a sad day for African America.

[BlackMenVentTV]

My point exactly: All women have the same opportunities that you have stated. All women were measured by the same ruler...so the point is why are black women opting out of the family route more than any other women? The point is they are choosing other destructive routes that are hurting themselves and the culture MORE than any other race in America. And you are absolutely right, they are not "boo-hoo'in"...when they actually should be. Thier independance is coming at the cost of the children

[Fastdogg562]

I think when statistics are used to measure your opportunitys in life, you are creating your life based off of someone elses lack or success.

I am pro: creating regardless of anybodys lack or gain....

[555order]

Ecclesiastes 4:7-12... " I observed yet another example of something meaningless under the sun. This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself, "Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?" It is all so meaningless and depressing.

[555order]

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back - to - back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple - braided cord is not easily broken."

[filmtress]

Beautifully said.

I hope when you say "Three are even better" you mean this in a 'family sense'.

[555order]

Thanks but even more so & most importantly thanks be to God on that for putting out that scripture to be seen on here. What it means when it says "Three are even better" is that God is the head of the table in that unionship between the two. He's the strongest and most important cord in the braid & without Him nothing is possible. God bless!!!

[rikshaw223]

as a BM, if BW want to be single, date other races or make money, i say more power to them, it's the statement that there are no good BM i have a problem with. if BM don't know what BW want to day then may be BW should approach BM & let the men chose! .you should dress as a man & ask (with respect) a BW in the street if she is happy single may be then you will under stand why there are so many vedios on youtube.

[MissCharityRose]

Single means NOT married, is divorced, widowed or separated. Not with spouse. It does not include living together thats why the number is so high. It makes sense to me because 60% of black families are fatherless. Stats aside, BM do want BW and vice versa just needs to be known.

[Lilart1981]

justicecarly) I appreciate it. We black people need personality makeovers. As a whole, we are getting no where very fast.

I really hate being correct about Negative things, but it is what it is. I love my black people but we need way more than a facelift!!!

Take Care...

[jordan484]

Its design to have black women to go against black men.

[EbonVoicez]

"Its design to have black women to go against black men"

That's my guess.

And I'm a Black Man that loves Black Women more than any other ethnicity of Women.

[jordan484]

I agree 100%

[ExoticByNature]

Thank you for this!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[msroz8]

Almost every sista I know are in a relationship. That 70% is blown out of proportion. :( They need to count the widowed black women too.

[Lilart1981]

Oh yeah one more thing I MUST elaborate on. "Out of your league?" are you serious? Most females are in the Delusional League, so it's greatly appreciated that yall look past me. I would tell you to get off your high horse, but I'm pretty arrogant too, not uppity, but extremely confident. My cussing was a tad overboard, but Oh Well!!!

[filmtress]

Lil, there is no WAR. We blacks aren't afraid to love, be loved, and give love. "A NATION CAN RISE NO HIGHER THAN IT'S WOMAN". Since she is the giver, nurturer, & portal of life to this earth, she holds the key to building strong & powerful healthy nations. If she is disrespected, the nation is too. If she's degraded so is her community. If she is abused, ignored, forgotten, or hopeless then the nation will reflect the same. It's time to build the 'Goddess' up, so we all can rise to meet her.

[Lilart1981]

I only call it a war because nobody seems to want to co-exist anymore. The Black Woman is the most beautiful woman on this earth and as a true black man I can never put any other race over yall. For us all to get along we ALL need to look at our OWN FLAWS b4 we point the finger or we're gonna keep this unnecessary conflict going. In an IDEALISTIC world all of what you said would be true, but unfortunately we live in a materialistic, sexist, sinful, and demonistic world. You take care though!

[filmtress]

Point well articulated and taken. I hear you loud and clear. Let us (me & you) vow to be a least two people who look at our flaws and take responsiblity for them by working on them. Then we know we will have done our parts. Maybe we can also envision healing and healthy loving relationships for our people. (All dreams start with a desire). I wish the very best for you Lilart, may God & Goddess bless you my brother. Peace.

[Lilart1981]

Thank you. Peace!

[thinker900]

Yeah, but why choose to be single? Was it that they found themselves undesirable to the man they wanted? Could find a man that suited them? Was it age and the combo of what I had in the 1st question? Even women with on sex drive at all seek companionship. Choose...no! I think it has more to do with thinking they have no other alternative and thus quitting or being too lazy.

[justicecarly]

I agree with you on this 100% on this.

[producer4real]

@filmtress I'll add to that. If she's fucked up and making poor choices like a 70% out of wedlock child birthrate by men who don't want to be fathers then the nation will be just as fucked up. And guess what, it is.

[Lilart1981]

I do apologize for the disrespect. Naw matter of fact I don't! I'm not belittling myself by making comments to some random chick's page, if anything I empower myself by keeping most of yall Natural Disasters out of my life and if I do slip up and deal with one of yall I use yall as Learning Experiences. My whole point of it all was to simply say that men and women need to stop making excuses for all of our inefficient actions and thoughts. Overall, this is a war that none of us are gonna win.

[Lilart1981]

I'm very passionate, so i apologize to an extent. I just hate when high and mighty people try to go out of their way to belittle others. It sounded like excuses instead of taking it as it was, like you told us to do. There's a very good chance that I wouldn't want you in my life, so saying that women like you don't wanna be with me is a compliment, THANK YOU!!! Unlike some weak ass dudes out there, I pick and choose who i wanna talk to instead of feeling lucky if some girls talk to me.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

Excellent VIDEO! In that stat they also incorporated children at the age of 15 who had children. That stat has been amended and it is lower by 20%. Since so many of our people dont read and did not question this state, they just believe it blindly. Yes you are right, it does not take into effect the lesbians. The ones who are divorced, and the ones who are not married but in relationships. This is a GOOD VIDEO! Yet people believe everything they hear or see on tv..smh

[Lilart1981]

take it 4 what it is huh? shut the fuck up because you're contradicting yourself. the stats didn't say that these women are crying and boo-hooin' it says that they are single, whether by choice, can't keep a man, or whatever. you need to tell all of these other females on youtube to stop contradicting you with "where are all the good men at?" since you claim that most are by choice. then she has the audacity to brag about her sisters being married but are now divorced. sounds like failure to me!

[emaduike]

BW are single in record breaking numbers because they have too many issues. No one wants BW in general , and thats sad but true.

[jankraw]

thats bullshit i love black women!

[jordan484]

Black men do want black women stupid ass.I a black man and i love the sistas!

[FireOfpassion]

lol

[Blkbrocksamson]

good vid.

[brianbmf]

Nobody wants to be single ther whole life,get out of here with that.

[NinjaZ1001]

Thank you!

[bootsycollinswifey]

plus their are many black women---married but single...lol I would rather be single than be doomed in a dead-end marriage...I wouldn't prefer to be single forever but singleness is not the end of the world after all...

[sexysyfy]

Good video.

[Jwriter4]

wow ur awesome for this vid!!! EXCELLENT *****

[gkaneshia]

Amen, Amen, Amen!!!!! Some of these black men need to see this video.

[missteek08]

thank you!!! and what about the 60% of BM who are single. we outnumber them SO that means there are just as many single BM as there are single BW.

and as far as the men on YT. some of them are severly damaged. mentally and spiritually.

thank you again!!!

[AtlantaSistah]

Pretty good video. Thanks for speaking from another point of view.
