I say its a Myth....... propagated by the media to foster the idea in the minds of educated successful black women that they should look to men outside of their race....in particularly white men.
Successful/educated black men are already being pursued by white women and they have already been indoctrinated to desire white women.
Now the one of the misconception is that...the black man has a problem with the black woman earning more than he is. No no no It is the Black woman who has a problem with Black man earning less than she is..
Now Why does she have a problem with this situation, because the world culture has taught her and the man that his #1 job is to take care of his woman. If he is earning less than her then the situation becomes disconcertingly untenable if money/income is the unit that measure care.
Black Women: Similar to men, better educated black females have been more likely to marry than less-educated black females for quite some time (Figure 6). In 1970, black women without a college diploma were slightly more likely than black college-educated women to have ever married, but by 1990 the marriage gap among black women favored those with a college diploma. The marital reversal among black women occurred decades ago.

The attitude that Sherry Shepard has is the attitude that results in many women not having a mate.
1) “Being a *****” was never going to get me the love I desired from black men. (Note: Being a ***** as in being mean, argumentative, hard to get along with, bitter, etc.)
2) Our "credentials" don't attract men! Just because WE feel that we are successful, independent, professional and educated doesn’t mean that’s we’re attractive to men, or even datable for that matter. I have learned that it is our EXTERIOR that gets a man's attention (smile, look, personality, non-*****y attitude, confidence and overall attractiveness) and our INTERIOR (our love for God, family, friends, being honest, supportive, respectful, emotionally stable, goal-oriented) that keeps a man coming back for more.
Too Many Black Women Have Bought Into the Stereotypes On Who They Are:
The perception that Black women are hard to get along with, mean, *****y, argumentative, bitter, etc. has become a reality for too many black women. I know, because I used to be that way (and still have relapses on occasion but irrational behavior and constantly “going off” on people, especially your man, is not an attractive quality to have when trying to maintain a relationship with a man. I had to LEARN that just because I was running things at work, didn’t mean I was going to run things with my man. So, I had to “check my attitude”at the door when dealing with my black man.

Let me add that the best time for a black woman to find a mate is when she is young and in College where she will spent most of her days in the company of young black men of diverse backgrounds and ambitions. The more time she spends in college the more black men of this caliber she will be expose to.
