Don't the statistics suggest marriages after the first are more prone to failure? Pretty sure the divorce statistic for first marriages are closer to like 27%, and people who get married more than once skew the results towards 50% because fuck getting married more than once.

Brief googling says in the US ~45% of first marriages end in divorce, rising to 60% for second and 73% for third marriages. I don't think those figures have a lot of meaningful information for someone in Omi's shoes since divorce isn't a random event.

What % of marriages for white/asian educated people for whom this question matters?
I don't give a fuck what trailer park meth heads or nogs do with their marriages, and they certainly aren't interested in my opinion either.

That's very specific. Why do you care about the percentages for white/asian educated people?
And why should statistics be tailored to your own prejudices?
How about just saying "what do the statistics say for educated people who make enough money to live comfortably above the poverty line"? Dipshit.

I don't mean mixed marriages, just white and asian people who are college educated.
I'll save you the suspense. It's way lower than quoted.

I didn't get married 20 years ago because she didn't want to sign a prenuptial. Land only nothing in it about money and things we earned together. Eventually it faded away and I thought she never wanted to get married. But we managed to stay together for 20 years and were pretty happy the way things worked out. When she asked me to marry her late last year she said she would sign it. I let it go and she didn't. Odd how things can work out.

Education makes a difference for all races, yes.
Is the educated black divorce rate still significantly higher than the white?
Want to sit here and act like the race makes no difference?

Race doesn't make a difference. Quality of life and education does. Access to those two things does. You're a smart guy, I know that you are. Don't be a prick and let that leak into this section of the forums.
If you honestly believe that being born black means you can't be as intelligent, well adjusted, and grow up into a functioning adult the same way a white or asian person can you've got a lot of learning to do yourself.

What creates quality of life? Do you think the quality of life for blacks is lower because of __________ ?
We can play this game all day.

So now you're ready to shift the goal posts and talk about socioeconomic issues? That's not how the argument was framed. You said White and Asian educated people and completely left out all other races/ethnicities that are also educated. As if only white and asians can be truly educated.
You're not gonna win this argument, because you're framing it like a racist piece of shit.

You inferred that. I didn't say other races can't be educated. I just said I don't care about them.
You've decided the answer before you know the statistics.

No, I should have said exactly what I said, which is why I said it.
You don't want to acknowledge why black divorce rates would be higher for all socioeconomic tiers, but that doesn't make it any less true.
You just keep saying I shouldn't say that and that I'm wrong, but providing no reasoning. I do not care if you call me racist.

Marriage and divorce: patterns by gender, race, and educational attainment : Monthly Labor Review: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 is used to examine marriage and divorce patterns and their relationship to educational attainment for young baby boomers from age 15 to 46.
www.bls.gov
Educated cohorts divorce far less, unsurprisingly. You'll have to pull the raw data and do your own math to get comparisons by both ethnicity and education.
