article talks about the more educated you are the more likely you will marry outside your race (W/B) because it will give you more interaction.

what is your POV

 

I totally agree. I think most people who are educated have had opportunities to move outside of their circle and interact with many different types of people.

Those interactions become common place and therefore it is easier to meet people ouside your race and marry them.

 

no doubt about it. it is very obvious. also people who never ran into or had an interaction with the other race would find that there arent much difference between them and really become attracted

 

Yup.. I think you become smart enough to handle the culture differences etc...

 

having a mind of your own and not obeying what people who dont like it say helps too

 

"Don't you know educated Black men usually marry down when they marry a White woman...."

 

usually because the person saying it cant have her :smt005

 

Well it damn sure ain't my looks so it has to be my brain that gets me most of these women. Mixed with a little charm I guess lol.

 

I think anything -- not just school -- that puts you in close contact with another race or cultural group can have this effect.

Once you have close contact with black people, or jewish people, or islamic people, they stop being "strange" or "other," and just start being regular people you happen to know.

And once they're just regular people -- and not some rival faction or something -- then obviously it's okay to fall in love with them and marry them, too.

 

Really? There was this thing back in the day called slavery. Ever hear about it?
You had blacks working with white folks all the time but they just couldn't seem to find common ground.

 

:smt081

I love your sarcasm.

 

I'm glad you caught that. You totally get me lol

 

Babe, you'd have to be dense as dirt to not pick up on that.

 

Nothing to do with education. Everything to do with attraction.

It's just a coincidence that educated black men are attracted to women outside their race or culture.

If a black man is attracted to black women all the education in the world will not stop him from finding, dating or marrying a black woman.

 

Being educated just increases your chances of meeting a variety of women period.

 

Exactly.

 

I bet you'll also find that black men who grow up in predominantly white neighborhoods also date white women more often.

That asian women who grow up in middle eastern neighborhoods date more middle eastern men.

And so forth. Any situation where you meet a lot of people of a different race is going to increase your chances of falling in love with a different race. School is just one example of a place where people of different races are more likely to meet up.

 

I've read articles that pointed out that the higher education the less chance of a family or having lots of children.

 

Bingo!

 

That is also true, and that is not mutually exclusive with the OP.
