According to Pew, only 10% of marriages are interracial. How can we increase that percentage?

What do you think the ideal interracial marriage percentage is? 100%? 10%? Something else?

Why does it need to go up? Why does it matter what the race is between a married couple. No disrespect, this is a very stupid question.

Some Americans are out there doing their part to create the Cosmic Race, and then there's you.

The guy is big in the Black community and he's gonna give Democrats a lot of problems in the future over interracial marriage and reparations, so he's gonna be a thorn in the Democrats' for years to come.

False on all accounts.

Most Black people (who even know of him) view Dr. Umar more as a comic than a serious figure. Also, while there are some Black people who are anti-interracial relationships, it is not a widely held viewpoint and definitely not more prevalent compared to people of other races.

I agree with everything except one thing. I suspect 40-50% of black people oppose interracial marriage. Almost all are black women.

40-50%? What are you basing that on?

Personal observation and what I've been told.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4465800/

7/10 of black women are unmarried. The percentage of black women who will never marry is much higher than the percentage of black men who will never marry.

A certain percentage of black men will only date/marry white women. Much higher than white men who exclusivily date black women. Or black women who date white men.

This is a well recorded phenomenon. So from personal observation, what I've been told by my black friends, and numerous jokes from the black comedians like Key and Peele, I suspect almost all black women oppose interacial marriage.Thus 40-50% of the black population, give or take. Could be 30 could be 60.

In fact, I would argue percentage wise more black people oppose interacial marriage than white people....

I'll preface by saying that I'm a Black man, so I have a good insight into this.

Most Black people regardless of gender are not against interracial relationships. However, due to the racial history of America, traditional American/Western beauty standards and the dating hierarchy, some Black women disapprove of Black men dating White women (and other non-Black women).

"40-50% of Black people" are NOT opposed to IR dating but this is a complex convo though.

Thank you for your input, it is appreciated.
