I'm confused about the American Republican party

Black women are the most unmarried group in America. Anyway, there is much more going on sociologically in the black community regarding marriage in general, and marrying outside the black community is a part of that.

Mayhap this has something to do with Black men being the most incarcerated group in America?

Marriage markets work. If supply outstrips demand, the "price" moves to adjust. And when the "price" of women drops (that is, what bargaining power they have with a potential husband), there are serious consequences, both individually and socially. Marriage rates go down, single motherhood goes up, teen pregnancy goes up, STD transmission goes up... all pretty ugly.

So, maybe ending the war on drugs would be a good step one to fixing women's marriage prospects. Smile
