In this day and age do you really think young black women are somehow internalizing some message of being stay at home moms put forth by some religious establishment?

I don't.

If they really believed the traditional message, they wouldn't be having out of wedlock children with 3 or 4 different men, as opposed to the traditional marriage with children.

Much, much too sweeping. In fact, well into the territory of stereotyping a population. "Young black women" are in a great many different places, some attending expensive colleges, some attending public colleges and working extra jobs to get through; some working very hard to get through high school; etc. And some doing as you say.

If you wish this to be a post about the issue rather than about yourself, you might post some statistics, including comparisons with some other population: young Asian women, young "white" women, whatever.
