Current figures show that 80% of all black women who have children will do so out of wedlock.

What I have frequently wondered is, why don't they have these children by white men, so that their children will score higher on this lightness totem pole that is discussed by posters above, and be a lot easier to manage and more likely to be loyal and support them in their old age...

Instead of by BLACK males, whose children will likely be in jail or otherwise difficult to raise.

Even those women PREFERRING black males, could make an exception for just the once or twice it took to have the children, couldn't they?

This ignorant, inaccurate statement is one reason why some Black women would never date White men.

You assume, incorrectly, that light skin and straight(er) hair is universally admired among black people. It is not.

You also assume that black women have babies out of wedlock in a sort of cold-blooded calculation. They do not.
