Excellent article. I agree, it is time for Black america to own up to this terrible problem. This, along with Black-on-Black crime has been swept under the rug for far too long. Keep up the good work.

An additional loss is the scarcity of available Black men for Black woman college grads . If they are forced to marry outside their race they will have less impact on the Black community.

Great column. But here is some of what you are up against. In the Boston Globe in about June or July this year there was a story that hotels, bars and restaurants on Cape Cod were having a hard time getting workers for the summer due to the government's tightening up rules for visas for foreign workers. Yes foreign workers. From the Ukraine. THE UKRAINE. I wrote to the writer saying that I was happy there was no unempolyment in Roxbury, Dorchester in Boston so that workers had to be imported from the Ukraine for the summer to the Cape. But wait. Those workers from the Ukraine are probably WHITE but mostly BLACKS live in Roxbury and Dorchester. Then again I would guess mostly liberals go to the Cape for the summer. So this is really not surprising. My wife works for a physical therapist. One of the patients told her that her daughter wanted a baby so she went and got one. My wife said that adoption was good. The patient said: No she got pregnant and had a baby The patient is about 33. Her daughter is 15. Sorry but both are Black.
I think illegal immigration has done as much harm to the Black commmunity as Jim Crow laws.
I will be very interested in seeing what you do next.
