Famous/influential white male married to black female?

<p>

Due to the scarcity of marriage-eligible black men, however, I think that black women are more likely than white women are to marry “down.” I know many black women with advanced degrees including being doctors or having doctorates who are married to men who lack bachelors degrees. This seems to be more common with black women than white women.

<p>Typically if the man is black, yes, she will marry down. But usually, in a black woman/white man relationship, they are both on the same level in terms of attractiveness, education, careers, etc. White men rarely date down, but black men almost always date down. But most successful black women that I know are single, sometimes with kids.</p>
