I'd like to discuss what I've called the BMGTOW phenomenon. Though the name is of my creation, admittedly, the idea struck me from listening to Dr Umar Johnson. He was bemoaning the fact that so many Black men opt for interracial dating. He made grand claims, arguing that Black men date outside their race more than any other race, and that this has led to the pandemic of unmarried black women. I had to find out whether this is true.
Black Men Dating Patterns
Well, Dr Umar Johnson is both right and wrong. The interracial dating rates of Black men are exceeded by those of one group - American Indian men. However, this is a statistical minority that is not even considered in most surveys. For the bulk of surveys online, indeed, Black men beat out men of all other races when it comes to interracial dating.
What is interesting is the gap between Black men and Black women. Black women are dating outside of their race at exceedingly lower rates. This squares up with data from dating sites. Black women prefer Black men, while Black men prefer women from other races and respond to Black women last.
Black Men Going Their Own Way
Black women also have the highest divorce rates. Is this a coincidence? I think not. Have black men far and wide telepathically instructed each other to abandon Black women for other races? An impossibility.
The truth is, I believe we're witnessing a genuine case of Black Men Going Their Own Way - BMGTOW. Black men are not being sent their own way. As the stats show, Black women prefer Black men to other races. Nevertheless, Black men have turned their backs on them. Black men have unironically went their own way, either to live as lifelong bachelors (Black male marriage rates are going down) or to marry women from other races. More and more Black men are just seeing Black women as a no-go zone.

What Is the Cause of BMGTOW?
Here are my theories:
- unattractive phenotype has caused them to compete unfavorably in a globalized world - African American women look better than African women, but they're still mogged by other races in the West
- negative portrayal in the media - like it or not, this does play a factor in how we perceive the world
- increased SMV of Black men - Black men are gaining greater wealth and are being positively portrayed in media. This has opened more races to them, making Black women compete unfavorably
- preferring traditional women - Black men grow up with Black women who, culturally, can be loud, bossy, and masculine in terms of their personality. This may cause Black men to look for something more feminine
