VIDEO: Marry Down To Save Race? Huff Post Live

In 2011 Professor Ralph Richard Banks wrote a thought provoking piece in the Wall Street Journal called An Interracial Fix for Black Marriage, where he says black women looking for husbands will need to start looking outside their race if they want to find a suitor equal in status and education.

That article prompted me to write a response called, Why I Married Black, an opinion piece on why its ok and at many times successful for educated black women to marry men with less education or financial status that them.

I was contacted by Huff Post Live to talk about my response to the article on the panel with Carolyn Edgar, a lawyer and blogger I admire deeply and Professor Ralph Richard Banks who’s new book, Is Marriage Just for White People is in stores now.

Let me know what you think about the segment in the comments section below, “Should Black Women Marry Down to Save Race” provided by Huff Post Archives

*UPDATE* The segment was also picked up and re-posted by AOL on Relationships! YAY!
