As I sit here some thoughts come to me. How bout that pastor Jim Dunkins running for Freeholder while saying he was not going to run till Lou Magazzu resigned. Umm. Mr Dunkuns needs to make up his mind. Better yet just keep to your original decision and just not run. I also wonder if MagazzuWatch keeps its focused eye on the Cumberland County freeholders when Republicans as expected take over the seats this Fall. I will be interested and hoping they'll be held to account when they screw up like the Democrats.
While reading the Philly Inquirer, (iPhone battery died) I saw an article written by Michael Smerconish that talks about a book called: “Is Marriage for White People?” It is written by Ralph Richard Brooks. The book is premised on the hypothesis that that educated black women can find enough men in their race and fail get married. Here is a summation:
During the past half century, marriage has declined throughout American society. Among those who do marry, the wife is more likely than ever to outearn or be better educated than her husband. Why have these changes occurred? How have they shaped intimate relationships?
Is Marriage for White People? answers these questions through an exploration of the lives of the black middle class. African Americans are the most unmarried group of people in our nation. Black women are more than three times as likely as white women never to marry. And when black women do marry, they are more likely than any other group of women to marry a man who is less educated or earns less than they do. In fact, more than half of college educated black wives have less educated husbands who are not.
