FEATURED Black Couples Have The Highest Divorce Rate & The Lowest Marriage Rate

test
Different studies show that African-American women are more likely to get divorced than women of other races. Sociologists suggest that it may be because of lower income and job prospects.

Divorce Rate by Ethnicity

These are the divorce rates of each ethnicity as of 2018 per 1,000:

  • The black divorce rate is the highest among other races: 30.8
  • The Hispanic divorce rate is the second highest: 18.5
  • The white divorce rate makes up almost half of the Black divorce rate: 15.1
  • The Asian divorce rate is the lowest among other races: 12.4
Black adults also make up the largest share of the never-married group. Notably, 79% of 25-29- year-old Black women and 18% of 55-year-olds were never married as of 2016

who files for divorce more



A study by M. Rosenfeld from Stanford University discovered that women started almost 69% of all divorces among about 2,000 surveyed couples.

Black women are the only group among other races with a number of divorces higher than the marriage rate. In 2018, there were 31 divorces among the Black population and 17.3 marriages per 1,000 people.

The share of ever-divorced Black women was 38.9% per 1,000 married women in 2016, compared to 34.4% for Whites, 13.9% for Asians, and 33.7% for Hispanic-origin women.
Black adults also make up the largest share of the never-married group. Notably, 79% of 25-29- year-old Black women and 18% of 55-year-olds were never married as of 2016.

While I'm not discounting this study...that being numbers from 2016 stands out. That's nearly a full decade ago of people in their mid 20s who most certainly aren't living the same lives now in their 30s. I'm sure those numbers would look different in 2024
 
Also interesting in the article is that 60% of divorces list infidelity as a reason for divorce. So folks getting married just to later on act like they single is crazy...

I think that speaks to people no longer forgiving cheating and just "staying married for the kids." We often romanticize relationships of the past but il betting if alot of people talked to their grandparents and great grandparents many would be shocked at how many of their older relatives would've gotten divorced if they could've
 
I don’t think there is inherently anything wrong with not being married BUT the problem is our society has set up marriage as a key way to build generational wealth

Pooling resources can be very powerful

I think we're also seeing another cultural reset in terms of throughout most of history people didn't marry and stay married for love. That's a relatively new idea in comparison to how long marriage itself has been a concept. So with the current state of going back to being more financially based for some since most people ain't got it marriage isn't as appealing of a thing to do

The internet is undefeated, for every thing your significant other doesn’t do, there’s ample evidence online that there’s a large amount of people that do it. The grass don’t just look greener, it looks like it’s maintained to host the masters.

Well... No.

Human beings always lived in groups.

Human beings always looked toward each other for comfort and security.

Nearly all primates pair bond and pool resources together.

What happened to Black Americans, the non-immigrants, since they actually do marry and shit like everyone else does...

We look towards the government to solve basic problems.

We not only asking the government to do shit like pull lead out of our water, give us government contracts, etc and etc.

We ask for shit like, "Make DeAndreTavious take care of his kids. Make Jaquesha let me see my son."

And the solution to that shit is to fucking marry well.

But since Black Americans have been culturally molded to not have a proper family structure since slavery.

I mean, community dick and pussy is just plantation sexuality.

The White man don't make you not marry and raise a family.

Everyone fucking does it no matter how poor, how hard, how much gender wars going on, they do it because it makes sense.

Lol, but it's okay, when that rent hit 3K in an average ass city.

I'll be adding to my stable lol.

Women got PHDs and sperm donors. Niggas got podcast led by Fresh & Fit and Joe Budden. As the classic Shottas once said "It's all types of fuckery"

Lol tried to tell em.

Black American Women are the women of the future.

You got a group of post-secondary educated women drowning in debt, can't find a suitable man to have a family with and deciding to raise kids alone.

Then you have working hard women, drowning in debt, yet aspirational, looking for a suitable man to ease her burden.

And finally, the dregs. The ones that are community pussy and causing chaos.

While the men are largely blobs and cogs in a machine of political scapegoating. The men are always the problem because men are supposed to instill order and lead.

How the fuck can you tell anyone what to do when you can't even finish college and your female counterpart at least got a bachelor degree in a soft ass social science like criminology.

Black American population is always on the bleeding edge of social engineering since we are the most receptive to the shit.

It started w the welfare system
Taking the man out of the house has destroyed black family structure. It was done by cops just picking up Brothas on bogus charges & sending them to work in the coal mines , stop & frisk the negro while setting them up & keeping blacks out of the trades .

Idk how that was a response to what I said but ok
 
If I learned anything from my statistics course, its that all stats can be manipulated in your favor if you show them right. One thing I don't see a stat for is length of marriage prior to divorce. too many factors on why folks choose to get divorced versus why they get married. Every divorce isn't a marriage ending in failure either.

Where all my married folks at on this?
