Contrary to popular belief, it’s not harder for educated Black women to find men, according to a new study.
When researching the number of Black males in prison versus Black males in college, researchers found that one subject in particular kept popping up again and again: black marriage and dating. Read more…

Please join us to discuss the issues raised in Professor Banks’ provocatively titled book: Is Marriage for White People? Based on his social science research, Banks looks at the intimate lives of African American women and examines why they are not getting married and are the least likely to marry of any segment of the American population.

Pro-abortion groups have successfully pressured an advertising company to remove pro-life billboards in Los Angeles. But the group that purchased the ad space will continue the push to educate the Latino community on how abortion providers are targeting them. Read more…
David Tyree, whose name is well-known to football fans, is standing up for marriage in New York. Here is an interview he did recently:

Residents of Chicago’s south side are seeing pro-life billboards that are part of the latest metropolitan campaign drawing attention to black genocide.
The 20 billboards — part of a campaign by a media group called Life Always — demonstrate the devastation of abortion on African-Americans. Dr. Alveda King of Priests for Life and King for America tells OneNewsNow that one billboard has a silhouette of President Obama with the words “every 21 minutes our next possible leader is aborted.” Read more…
Next up at SC PIE: Dr. Pat Fagan of the Family Research Council, and incidentally, a member of the Ruth Institute Academic Advisory Board. He is showing this audience of African American faith leaders some of his charts. among his results: His index of belonging, showing over 80% of black children do not spend their whole childhoods with their own parents.
What is the impact of having sexual partners prior to marriage? Looking at the percentage of women aged 30-45 in an intact marriage, 80% of women who have had only one sexual partners (namely their husbands) are in an intact marriage. Having only one other partner lowers the percentage to 54%, that is, only 54% of women with a single non-marital sex partner are in an intact married family, compared with 80% with no non-marital sexual partners being in an intact marriage at age 30.
Pat just caused a gasp in the audience by explaining that the single biggest factor in the high incarceration rates of young black men is not race, but the marital status of their parents. Thing is: the audience is nodding in agreement.
I get it that the advocates of same sex marriage don’t like to admit this, but:
the movement for natural marriage is a genuine rainbow coalition. Our movement cuts across race, religion, and ethnicity. Here is more evidence, from Rhode Island. This Hispanic Pastors Coalition held a prayer rally in favor of natural marriage. look here. for the video.
In Maryland, the AfricanAmerican churches turned out in force against redefining marriage. Are all these people to be dismissed as “bigots?” According to the Baltimore Sun: Read more…

A campaign launched in Los Angeles this week seeks to raise awareness to what is becoming known as “black genocide” — the devastation occurring in black America as result of abortion.
It’s modeled after a highly successful similar campaign conducted in Atlanta earlier this year by Georgia Right to Life and the Radiance Foundation.
According to just released data from the Guttmacher Institute, 1.21 million abortions were performed in the United States in 2008. Some 30 percent of these abortions were performed on black women. With blacks accounting for about 12 percent of the U.S. population, the tragic disproportionate rate of abortion in this community is clear. Read more…

In observance of Martin Luther King Day, pro-lifers are focusing in part on a major civil rights issue.
Joseph Parker (right), pastor of two African-Methodist-Episcopal churches in Mississippi, says today’s culture often overlooks the critical questions and issues related to life and the unborn. Instead, he says, people tend to avoid pushing their moral views on others or agree that it is up to a woman to decide what she should do with her body.
“Tragically, this kind of argument has become just a smokescreen that has kept too many from really seeing the true issue at hand,” Parker laments. “The false claim has been that the abortion issue is about women’s rights and reproductive freedom, but this is simply marketing hype and lies. In reality, it was racism and eugenics that drove the legalization of abortion.” Read more…

In my travels through American cities, I cannot help but notice many streets named in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Unfortunately, these streets are often in the worst parts of those cities. As such, the honor King receives is dubious, at best.
In like manner, King’s dream is only partially fulfilled. While black people in America have equal rights, we do not have an equal chance at success. When President Lyndon B. Johnson passed his Great Society program, a trend of moral decay and poverty began. The policies from this era rewarded financial irresponsibility, and promoted vice rather than virtue. These policies still affect us today. Read more…

One day in Oakland, California, in the capacity of a sidewalk counselor, I met a Black man taking his girlfriend to get an abortion. When we talked, he said to me, he knew it was “his baby” and that his “CONSCIENCE” was bothering him.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his book “Strength to Love,” published in 1963 wrote: Read more…
We hear a lot about family breakdown but not much that throws light on its true extent, or on the causes. A new study remedies that by describing the parental relationship in terms of either “belonging” or “rejection”. Read more…
My Acton Institute friend Anthony Bradley has this in World magazine today, on the Black Marriage Crisis. Read it and weep.
In the black community, the institution of marriage is essentially dead. While marriage in Western developed nations is declining in general, the black community and black women are being disproportionately affected. Unless marriage and family issues receive a higher priority, tackling other major problems, like declining high school graduation rates, will be like treading water in the Mississippi River 10 feet above a strong undercurrent.
ABC News recently cited a Yale University study reporting that 42 percent of African-American women have yet to be married, compared to only 23 percent of white women. By their early 40s, 31 percent of black women have never been wives compared to 9 percent of white women. An alarming 70 percent of professional black women are single. ABC also reported, citing the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, that at least 60 percent of black students who receive college degrees are women. Black women also make up 71 percent of black graduate students. According to the most recent data, only 43.3 percent of black adult men are married compared to around 60 percent for white males.
NOM Marriage Protector Award
NOM Chairwoman Maggie Gallagher presents the Marriage Protector awards to Bishop Charles E. Blake and Women’s Leader, Mother Willie Mae Rivers, of the Church of God in Christ convention in Los Angeles, June 2010.
Here is a photo my colleague sent me from the Church of God in Christ convention. Some of the convention-goers pose with a NOM employee who was exhibitng at the convention.
I know that many of our gay and lesbian readers do not understand why the black community feels so strongly about natural marriage. But they do. My experience in debates, is that my opponents have several strategies for dismissing the views of the African American community, rather than dealing with their concerns. So guess what? I’m not about to explain it to you. If you can’t figure it out for yourself, I’m not going to help you!
We are very excited about our 2nd annual It Takes a Family Conference, for college students August 12-15 here in Southern Caliornia. We have lined up a distinguished and diverse faculty for this long week-end leadership training experience.
