Listen in as Joe Dilla (JD) and myself (Bazz) - speak on the subject of "Marry Before You Carry" The data doesn't lie... Over the last few decades, marriage has been a declining institution among all Americans and this decline is even more evident in the Black community. In 2019 only 30% of African Americans were married compared to 48% of all Americans. Half or 50% of African Americans have never been married compared to 34% of all Americans. https://blackdemographics.com/households/marriage-in-black-america/ Currently, 74% of black women are having babies out of wedlock. https://singlemotherguide.com/single-mother-statistics/ In 2020, there were about 4.25 million Black families in the United States with a single mother. This is an increase from 1990 levels when there were about 3.4 million Black families with a single mother. https://www.statista.com/statistics/252847/number-of-children-living-with-a-single-mother-or-single-father/ WE REALLY NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT!
