CONDALEEZA RICE is NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS

 CONDALEEZA RICE is NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS

Link here to a bio on Condaleeza which mentions that she has never married or had children, and may have only partnered (at least financially) with one person - a room mate.  A woman of accomplishment and importance, not to mention extreme controversy, she seems to be able to handle it all and CONDALLEZA RICE is NMNK like us!

(First published on June 5, 2011)

As of October 2022 she remains NMNK.  

Note: Over time I have sometimes published about someone who was NMNK and some of those persons have married, often "late" in life, and had a child or children, sometimes by surrogate.

BLACK WOMEN UNMARRIED - WHY? IS IT TRUE

IS RACISM WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY THE REASON WHY SO MANY AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN ARE NEVER MARRIED?

This is just what a friend of mine suggests.  She says that African American men are going for White or Lighter Skinned African American women.  She says this leaves few good men for African American women who are darker skinned.  Just when I was going to reject this idea,  a male friend of mine said about the same thing.  He said as a result of fewer good African American men, African-American women had to share men, and had taken single motherhood in stride; after all don't most women want a child?

I thought about HIGH SCHOOL.  OK... In my high school some of the best athletes were Black.  Is that a stereotype?  I can only say it was true.  And most of these men did seem to reject the women of their own race and date White, European-Americans.  There was a catch.  These same White, European-American women were then shunned by White men!  Yes! The town was kind of small.  And I feel that everyone got along pretty well otherwise.

I had one friend in school who was of African-American and Native American heritage and she wore braids.  I was there when a man (a boy actually) crossed the HIGH SCHOOL cafeteria and told her that she was not Black.  Not Black due to her hair style, and for associating with a group of White women (girls really.)

I don't know how this would play in today's high school generation.  To me it seems there is far less prejudice.  Am I wrong?  Maybe I don't just get it?

Let me know!

JOINT CENTER STATISTICAL DATA

Here's the info for you statistic freaks!

AFRICAN AMERICAN NMNK MONTH

This month I'm going to try and explore African American NMNK.  Recent reports are that African American women have very little chance of ever marrying. And though these statistics represent many who would like to be married there are those who are OK with life as is. It seems to me that African-American woman have a special challenge, and it's not about skin color as much as it is about culture, for African-American women are very matriarchal!

WHY IS EVERY STATISTIC ABOUT NEVER MARRIED WOMAN LACED WITH IMPLIED FRUSTRATION?

ARE BLACK WOMEN MUCH LESS LIKELY TO EVER MARRY THAN WHITE WOMEN ?

Here's an article from CNN, a bit more than a year old, in which it's stated that maybe MARRIAGE IS FOR WHITE WOMEN. According to this article nearly half of all African American women have never been married.

Now there's nothing in the article about living together or having children without marriage.
But I thought it would be interesting for you to read anyway.

IS THERE A RACIAL BIAS FOR OR AGAINST MARRIAGE?
