When it comes to dating and mating interracially, black women especially need to practice hypergamy when it comes to mate selection. Your financial freedom will allow for you and your children to be flanked by higher educated, progressive and tolerant people. Let’s face it. In an interracial marriage of black and white, the couple can face bigotry and harsh treatment from both cultures. Studies prove that higher-earning, educated people are less overtly racially biased.

Keeping your biracial children with some layer of protection against colorism is another plus. It should also be important to you set your children up when they can meet high-quality friends and also see children that are biracial like them.

All that takes a higher level of sophistication and wealth to execute.
