The Environment Of Many Black Women

WE KNOW THERE ARE MANY GREAT BLACK FAMILIES, MALES & FEMALES OUT THERE. THIS ARTICLE IS NOT ADDRESSING THOSE SITUATIONS.
Black men did not protect Black women from being kidnapped, shipped to America, enslaved and raped enmasse. Are Black men protecting Black women today? Are husbands hard to find? An eligible Black man could be hard to find because some are underemployed, gay, murdered, in prison, prefer being alone or simply do not like Black women. Some Black men want younger wives. Many Black women do not see White men as an option. So Black women 35-55 are faced with a slim potential husband market.

Many Black women have their own mortgages, cars and stock portfolios but no husband or children. Some have turned to lesbianism. Some have turned to Christ. Some are married to their jobs. Some are very busy. Not that a man is absolutely needed to be fulfilled, but the nuclear family is the ideal. Is this Black woman happy and fulfilled in an environment that finds her alone?
