Xiden creates a logical fallacy by equating TV commercials with reality:
Based on small glimpses of culture, one might assume half or more of all relationships involve some sort of race-mixing. If a person who had no information about the US or Europe were to see our television, magazine, billboard, and storefront advertisements, he might assume there were virtually zero normal white men anywhere to be found. The combination of white women with black men is hands down, the most common mixed-race couple depicted in advertising; that combination will be the focus of this essay.
A study of over two million online dating interactions revealed distinct racial preferences between groups. White women responded most frequently to white men, and least frequently to black men. Sexually transmitted disease rates per the 2016 Center for Disease Control speak for themselves.
In terms of combined median incomes of interracial marriages, black husbands with white wives earned the lowest amount of any other combination. The black husband and white wife combination were also the least educated. Of the interracial combinations, marriages between whites and blacks were found to be the least stable, and the most likely to result in divorce. The divorce rate is higher in all interracial marriages for white women relative to a white marriage.
A 2015 study examined the outcomes of women that have children with black men, the results were staggering. Currently, 70% of black children are born out of wedlock, however when the mother is white and the father black, the rate jumps to 97%. 98% of white mothers studied reported the father does not support their children financially, 97% report the father is not in the child’s life, and 97% of the women have used welfare to help support themselves and their children. Only 10% of women that have children with black men out of wedlock end up marrying. The vast majority of white women that have children with black men live far below the poverty line.
A 2013 study of intimate partner violence in relationships, surveyed nearly ten-thousand people, the authors hypothesized that interracial couples would experience higher levels of violence compared to intra-racial relationships. They found that compared to white relationships, both black couples and interracial couples experience statistically significant higher levels of relationship violence.
I completely agree about propaganda. What we see in commercials and entertainment do not represent reality, they are trying to shape it. That’s wrong.
My disagreement was with the studies cited. Why are these sources trusted? How can we be sure they aren’t propaganda trying to shape an outcome?
What’s interesting about the propaganda is they almost exclusively portray upper middle class people of all races. Which completely undercuts the message that minorities don’t get a fair shake.
I agree if there are studies that are quoted they should give the references. I think we can pretty much see what's going on by just seeing what the news reports and how they report it. The media lies ND has an agenda just like politicians and other "powers that be". I read genetic studies that are pretty eye-opening but some of the data actually is uprooted by real life experience so that speaks o he truth of some of these issues. Nonetheless, people are people and you are drawn toward or away from people dependent on their attitude and behavior...that really is the long or short of it.
