Our community does not consider marriage or stable relationships the norm anymore.
You don't have to be married to be in a stable relationship. I feel like a broken record every time I write this, marriage rates are down across the board, it's not a black thing. Half of marriages end in divorce and screwed up children anyway. The only people benefiting from marriage are divorce lawyers.Marriage is just not the answer to everything ailing the black community

Marriage is not the answer to everything but it certainly is part of the black community moving away from not leading stable lives, not taking responsibility and not building security for ourselves.

That is true. I did say marriage is not the answer for everything. I do think that too many black people do not find stability in anything else and it would be a good start for some to commit to building a stable home life.

I think you forgot who you were responding to. You can't reason with a scorned woman like Mal.

No, you don't need a family or marriage to have a stable life.

Civil Service jobs and U.S. Saving bonds are the only two things are stable.

Tech stocks are more stable than marriages in this country.

I know marriage rates are low and divorce is high. I think that every possible solution for the black community and building a more stable, functioning community needs to be pushed. Single parent rates are too high, men not supporting their families are too high and children not being raised in stable homes is too high.
I think there need to be more attempts to get black people to start rebuilding our community from the bottom up and that starts with stable families.

You don't need marriage for a stable family. I was raised by a single mother in a very stable home. Guess why? My mother took her job as a parent seriously. She didn't need a marriage to have that mindset

I have heard that Vince Young went broke. And then also Mark Brunnell is also broke so its not just black athletes. Sam you do make a good point with these accountants. If were to come up with a good sum of money there is only one person who I would use an an accountant and that is because I have know her for 10 years and so and she is a good woman.
