EPISODE 73 "ARTICLE: DOES THE BLACK CHURCH KEEP IT'S WOMEN SINGLE?"

I HAD ANOTHER SHOW TOPIC LINED UP FOR TODAY UNTIL SOMEONE DIRECTED ME TO THIS ARTICLE AND I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED IT TOPIC BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH AN INTERESTING QUESTION. SO BEFORE YOU CALL OR LISTEN TO THE SHOW PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE: http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/08/10/black.church.women.single/index.html NOW ON TO THE SHOW AND THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE, DO YOU THINK THAT THE MORALISTIC STANCE THAT BLACK CHURCHES HAVE ON DATING AND MARRIAGE IS KEEPING MORE BLACK WOMEN SINGLE? THE ARTICLE HAS SOME RIVETING DATA, LIKE 42% OF BLACK WOMEN ARE SINGLE TODAY. IT ALSO STATES THAT BLACK MEN ARE LESS LIKELY TO ATTEND CHURCH TODAY. SO IF YOU ARE A CHURCH ATTENDING WOMAN AND BELIEVE THAT YOU MUST BE "EQUALLY YOKED" THEN YOU HAVE GREATLY SLIMMED DOWN YOUR DATING POOL. IT ALSO SAYS WOMEN ARE LOOKING FOR THE MEN IN THE CHURCH, WHEN THEY DON'T HANG OUT THERE. IS THIS A QUESTION OF LOWERING YOUR MORALS TO MEET A MATE? IT ALSO TALKS OF HOW WOMEN LOOK UP TO THEIR PREACHERS AND HOLD THEIR MEN TO A STANDARD THAT MUST MATCH UP TO THEM, AT THEIR OWN PERIL! SUCH A GREAT ARTICLE, PLEASE READ IT FIRST AND THEN CALL IN TONIGHT AND WE CAN GO AT IT, BECAUSE I'M SURE THIS IS GOING TO BE CONTROVERSIAL! I HAVE SO MANY SINGLE FEMALE FRIENDS ON FB THAT WANT A GOOD CHURCH GOING MAN, BUT DOES THAT MAKE HIM A GOOD MAN? ARE THE ONES THAT DON'T ATTEND CHURCH REGULARLY AUTOMATICALLY CUT OUT TO YOU? PLEASE CALL IN TONIGHT WITH YOUR THOUGHTS BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS TOPIC HITS HOME WITH MOST OF YOU FEMALES! FELLAS YOU TOO! THESE ARE OUR WOMEN AND IT'S WHATS ON THEIR MIND! LETS FIND A COMMON GROUND AND RETAKE OUR PLACE BY THE SIDE OF OUR SISTAS!
