it is likely educated black women have a far more difficult time finding a suitable black male as a mate equal to or greater than her educational attainments.

i don't really know why as it is probably something in the cultural norms in which we find ourselves.

and the economy is always correlated with marriages, births, debt, new home and furniture sales, etc. probably a divorce correlation to, but i don't know that for certain.
