65 per cent of British black Caribbean women are single, 59 per cent have never married

Black British women experience a reverse gender pay gap, holding higher-paying roles and achieving higher educational attainment than Black British men. Demanding marriage or practicing chastity doesn’t inherently improve the quality of available partners, as these practices don't change potential prospects' character, compatibility, or emotional maturity. Additionally, an anticipated decline in single motherhood and an increase in child-free living among Caribbean British women may foster greater financial stability. With distinct sub-cultural worldviews, religious orientations, social mores, and norms, it makes little sense to bring Somalis, especially Somali women, into this discussion. Many women remain single, not due to a lack of men, but because they prioritize personal growth, careers, or self-fulfillment, particularly when prospects are otherwise unsuitable. It seems the women in the article were limiting themselves to religious men (church attendees) or those within their denomination, Seventh Day Adventist, as that was their priority.

Those are Black English. They have as much link to Jamaica as an Italian/Lebanese/Irish Americans who live across US, yes they occasional reference their great-grandparents ancestry but they have never been there, their culture has adapted and is nothing like their ancestors and they are firmly rooted in the land.

I think this is more of a broader topic on identity though between US and Europeans/UK migrants.

The key difference is that America is a nation of immigrants so they will always be seen as American while immigrants in Europe will always be considered “foreign”even if they bootlick whites like that Hirsi woman

Another aspect people aren’t talking about is that black Caribbean men simply don’t marry even when they’re with women from different backgrounds.

Statistically, mixed raced children in the UK with black fathers especially Caribbean have the highest rates of single family homes and the lowest marriages rates of parents that surpasses mono-racial black children.

People wondering why these women don’t marry is futile if you don’t take into account that their men simply don’t marry and it doesn’t matter the race of the woman in question. This is a cultural issue rather than a desirability one.

Caribbeans don’t have a culture of marriage, if you look up the stats of their men you’ll say they too hardly marry compared to the general population.

Comparing them to Somalis is silly. Unless Somalis become gaal or near enough gaal over night, our marriage rates will always be high since we can’t have intimacy or kids outside of marriage.

If madow men weren’t able to get access to their women unless they put a ring on it, most of their women would be married. These women are still having children and intimacy. Somalis on the other hand due to Islam and our culture think it is socially taboo and downright immoral for people to have sex and children outside of wedlock. Most women at least publicly comply and as do the men.

Big difference. Also, it’s not black women, white women aren’t even getting married as much either, people are simply cohabiting more.
i’ve met some conservative jamaican men who grew up there and advocate for the nuclear family so i wonder what happened. maybe it’s a religous thing where the very spiritual advocate it or it’s a millennial or class thing
 
Some pretty insane stats. Black African aren't too different, and probably diaspora Somalis will follow similar trends in a decade or two.

So are you telling me keyshia is a incel in UK ? :chrisfreshhah:
