With the increasing shortage of black men, black women are competing against each other for black males. And for those who lose, they either find an alternative, like interracial relationships, or they find themselves alone. Black females presently are not lowering their standards to attract black nien, but that could change, according to Harriet Simmons, communications director of the Urban League in Miami. Simmons has collected data on rela tionships within the black race during the past few years. "Nowadays the black female is be coming more and more successful, and they don't want to settle for someone who sells drugs or works at McDonald's," Simmons said. "But in the future, black females could end up lowering their standards to the point that they may end up with men who have been in prison. "After all, black women do go for the good-looking men, and a lot of the good-looking black men are currently in prison. They may go for the men without realizing that they (the men) have been in prison." But Simmons said she did not see many black females marrying interra cially, at least for the time being. "Interracial marriages have a ten dency not to work out in a lot of cases, and therefore I don't think there will be a lot of black females marry ing men of other races, in particular white men," Simmons said. However, Simmons said the time may come when black females will be forced to consider interracial relation-' ships because there will be more white men in corporate society than black men. "If there are far more white men in the professional world than black men, then there may be some black females who will be willing to have relation ships with white males," Simmons said. And as black men become fewer in society, Simmons said she saw inti mate relationships becoming scarcer in the future because black females are becoming more involved in their pro fessional careers. "Relationships may just become something physical for the black fe male. In other words, she will have a companion, but that is it. There won't be that true commitment," Simmons said. "Black females are striving to achieve, so they may not have time to continue searching for that right person to marry or simply have a true relation ship with, if there are not any men out there for them to have." Others also think most black women will not end up marrying interracially. Dr. James Davies, from the department of sociology at North Carolina Central University, said society should not expect an increase in marriages be tween black women and white men. "Only 1 percent of today's marriages involve a white male and a black fe male," Davies said. "Besides, there are many black women who are becoming accustomed to living by themselves anyway, and I don't see that changing in the future." There are other alternatives for black females who do not want relationships, Davies said. "Black women can turn to kinship as a source of support, because families can provide them with some support," Davies said. "And some black women are willing to adopt children, so they don't have to worry about whether the shortage of black men will keep them CoMirse Packets for Summer Scho ol only 4 12 r per copy CoOo COP On Franklin St. Above S adlack's 967-6633 5 TIRED of WAITING D Days or Weeks for your Eyeglasses?

Simmons said the condition of the black family was not in good shape, and the future could be worse. "The black family is nonexistent," Simmons said. "The average setup for many black famil ies includes the mother and the kids, but there is no father. "What makes me mad is the fact that the black male was there to make a baby, but he can't be there as a father. In the meantime he is going out on the streets and bragging to his friends about how he got his girlfriend pregnant. And this obviously leaves the black female in an awkward situation." But the main problem facing black females is the decrease in black males in society. Simmons said 609,000 black men were in jail at the present time. And this problem is not being offset by blacks who are attending school. 'There are only 434,000 blacks, both females and males, that are going to school," Simmons said. "And I am including not only the college grades, but the high school and elementary grades as well." In the meantime, there are students on campus who have thought about how black females can handle the shoji; age of black males. Ixchel Baker,' black sophomore majoring in politic science, said she would not settle (f someone below her standards. "I don't want a man who is not going to care about having a job or being responsible," Baker said. "I don't need someone else to help me starve. I can do' that by myself." But Baker said there were days when she did think about how the shortage in black men could affect her. ' '; "I do feel pressure at times becausfc I sometimes wonder if there will b6 a man out there for me," Baker said. ' ' Baker also questioned the amount of time black females take in finding a companion. "I know the Lord says to 4 seek and ye shall find,' but how long are black women going to have to seek in ordef t6 find a quality black man?" Baker said'. Meanwhile, S immons said black rrfen on campus considered themselves valu able because of the shortage of black males, so they are going to be selective in choosing their mates. "Black men have a macho ego to begin with, and the ones on the college campuses know they are marketable, so they consider themselves to be a commodity."
