What do you figure is behind the professional African American women dating drouth?

So what is the deal with the single professional African American woman? It is said there are about 2 million more single African women than there are single African American men (Nightline), a shallow pool to start, at in those who are taken, locked up and Gay the pool shrinks even smaller. And among processional African American women especially those mid 30s and later 70% remain single (Nightline). Is it because professional African American women are too picky? Because many can’t seem to wrap their head around dating or marrying a bus driver, janitor, cabby, or burger joint shift head etc that they miss out? Are they waiting on a albino alligator, a upward moving “Buppy” that near equals them in education and income?

Is it that the African American cabby, trash collector, window washer etc don’t ask out the professional woman because he won’t get no play, he would feel he was not a man because he wasn’t bringing home the bacon, or that an educated woman (maybe with more than he has) would intimidate him, or he is fearful he could not fit in “that world” if he was a creature of the streets?

And if you are African American and find love in the arms of one who was not African American simply because when you were looking no connection was made, if you seen an African American woman either she was not into you or you into her at the time can someone label you an “*Uncle Tom*”? And if you see an African American male dating apart from his nationality do you get enrages thinking he should be supporting and waiting exclusively for one of his African sistas?
