“…Whereas all groups demonstrated some degree of gender difference, Black students were the only racial group in which women expressed significantly greater agreement with the statement ''I wish there were more opportunities for going on dates'' and men expressed significantly greater agreement with the statement ''Any kind of sexual activity is okay as long as both persons freely agree to it'' (results not shown). The conflicting attitudes of Black women and men may be reflective of a larger crisis within Black American gender relations (Hooks et al, 1995;Lawrence-Webb, Littlefield, & Okundaye, 2004;Patterson, 1993). In addition, prior research has indicated that Black women oppose interracial dating in part because they perceive Black men to have more opportunities for interracial dating: Interracial dating is seen as reducing the availability of partners for Black women (Childs, 2005), and quantitative data indicate that Black men's greater propensity for interracial marriage does in fact reduce the availability of (same-race) partners for Black women, especially among the highly educated (Crowder & Tolnay, 2000).…”

“…Acknowledging the visible variation in the gender-poverty gap across racial lines, students of social inequality have argued that black women face a greater economic hardship that is not shared by either minority men or white women (Hooks et al 1995;but see Patterson 1993). As Harriet A. Jacobs stated in 1857: "Superadded to the burden common to all, they [black women] have wrongs, and sufferings and mortifications peculiarly their own" (in Patterson 1993: 8).…”

“…Racial and ethnic variations in fertility rates also are substantial; Hispanic women, for instance, tend to have higher fertility rates than white, black, and Asian women (Bachu and O'Connell 2001). This pattern increases the dependency ratio (ratio of dependents to earners) of the average Hispanic family.Acknowledging the visible variation in the gender-poverty gap across racial lines, students of social inequality have argued that black women face a greater economic hardship that is not shared by either minority men or white women (Hooks et al 1995; but see Patterson 1993).
