Ehud:
There are probably less divorced blacks than whites because most blacks never get married to begin with. Just look at the rates of out-of-wedlock births in the black community, it is astronomical. Recent figures show that close to 70% of black babies are born to out-of-wedlock mothers. Does that seem like a group of people that values the institution of marriage?

That's a 'trick' question.
Blacks hardly ever get married in the first place. They either shack-up or the buck leaves after a brief encounter. a comparison would be unfair.
And YES!!!!! I know YOU'RE married, Erica.

I know some African American couples who have been together for the better part of 25 years but never got married...they also had children. They were scared of commitment, a binding peice of paper. How do you explain the divorces of white couples in America?
