The Top 5 email group I belong to was forwarded an article on how accomplished, smart black women are less likely to be married, more likely to be divorced and basically lonely. The men dismissed it, and thankfully so did the women. Not only was the story and topic old hat, but all of us were through believing it. (If you want, you can waste your time and read the article here).

You can give me all the statistics in the world. Throw numbers at me like the Lotto. It doesn't matter. I don't need a study to tell me what I see firsthand. Most black women I know are not lonely and I know A LOT of black women. (Just check my Facebook page). If they're not with me, they're with some other guy, and if they're not with me or another guy, they're with their girlfriends. Sure, some go through their fits of being single, but lonely? That's reaching.

Let's take, for instance, my wish list of black female celebrities I would want to holler at if I could. Here they are in no particular order.
