Is white / black marriages in USA declining? Is so, what is the reason?

Question

Almost all of the couple webpages on the Internet I've seen so far are white / white couples.

Answer 1

- It's increasing

Answer 2

Nope it's actually increasing.

I think we all are going to get a big surprise when the New Census comes out, but that is under the assumption that what they report is the truth of course.

Answer 3

its increasing...very slowly.

Answer 4

According the Federal Stats compiling the numbers from vital Stats around th country.    Marriages themselves have been declining for some years around the country.   More people are living together and not bothering to get married.    Of the marriage type you are talking about, it hit a high of 7% of all marriages in 2002.   Of that 7% only 10% were a WM/BF marriage.

I think that on could say that marriage is going out of style.   I believe this has more to do with the economy than anything else.

Answer 5

idk but ethnicity doesn't matter to me ..i'd marry a White guy ^_^

Edit: why the thumbs down...    :/

btw my neighbors ...WhiteM/BlackF married with kids there cute!

Answer 6

I don't think they are.

Answer 7

What you see on the internet isn't necessarily representative of actual demographics.

Perhaps this just means that white/white couples are more likely to put up a couples webpage...

Answer 8

i like interacial couples

Answer 9

No, I would say it's about the same. I don't know why you're so surprised to see couples that are the same race together. Most relationships/marriages consist of people of the same race anyways. Interracial couples and marriages are still the minority.  

Answer 10

The only increase  have noticed is more black woman with white men.

The more good black men marry out of their race the harder it is for black woman to get a man.  I think they have come to understand that fact and have opened up to marrying white men.  These couple have the hardest time because they may not find support from either side.  You have got be be truly in love to survive.

Answer 11

i see many mix couple where i live.

Answer 12

No. It's surging.

Now let me ask, what were you doing, out of all places, on a Couples webpage?

Answer 13

A case study is needed to properly answer this question. If it was found to be declining from baseline, I would guess the reason would have to be the social and environmental differences between Whites and Blacks. Perhaps a small percentage could be blamed on limited and awkward interactions between the two races. There are also enormous political and economic gaps the Blacks have yet to conquer. Sad but true.
