There's probably a story behind this. Fox in BMore is just as bad as Faux News. After a while it's not a question of if there's an issue with a story they publish, it's pretty much discovering what the issue is. Figuring out how they twisted the truth.

I can see her point.
Numerically, it wouldn't work out in thier favor but these stood out to me.

Nah the war has migrated to white people.
Like all trends it's starts with black people.

the human experience/existence in ‘civilization’ is one of constant social engineering…the origins of the feminist movement was basically about white women in conflict with their men…the flavor of the discourse may be different but trust that the data points that have supposedly made black women less likely to partner with black men are becoming true for women in general, it may just appear to be specific to black folk because that’s likely where our attention is…
while there is definitely a unique way in which every ethnicity airs each other out publicly, ‘roasting’ is a sport for us
and we going to get these jokes off (arguably similarly to how eskimo have so many ways to describe snow, as it’s an integral part of their lifestyle/survival, the same might be true of our willingness to engage in that sort of deprecating humor) so i don’t know about the latter…but certainly the former is true, it’s just the circumstances that instigated a similar shift in intersexual dynamics between black men & women have only recently, relatively, become prominent enough to be generally applicable…

I feel like it's really obvious why Black men "date out" more than black women.
but people try to come up with all these wacky gender war explanation.
it's opportunity.
Blackness is viewed as hyper masculine+straight women are attracted to masculinity.
=
Black men have more opportunity to date outside their race.
and you can see the reverse dynamic with Asian men.

i would say that rationale is partially kinda wacky tho 
…in general, i think men are more likely to want variety & as such not be loyal/as picky along ethnic lines…now there definitely is a cultural/social overlay in terms of the stereotypes & visages of what is deemed ‘masculine’ such that some men will have way more opportunities to actually follow through on that desire…it could be the case that some black men have traits that align well with these but it isn’t the case that blackness = hypermasculine
most people deal in proximity anyways, it isn’t so much that black men are seen as ‘hypermasculine’ or asian women (who are said to date outside their ethnicity the most) are ‘hyperfeminine’ it’s moreso the opportunity aspect you mentioned, we live in america where asians & blacks are in the minority, so in the available pool there will be more opportunities for them to date outside of their race just from a numbers aspect. some will have more/less incentive to do so…
then layer in things like preferences & stereotypes and some mismatches can & do manifest, asians tend to be of shorter stature, which has implications for the attraction of both genders seeing that women generally have preference for taller men & men (slightly) for shorter women. black women tend to prefer black men in general, then layer in the stereotype of black women you get an outcome where black women are much less likely to date outside of black men.

Asian women actually marry out more than black men (22% vs 12.5) per Pew Research.
im sure there are confounding factors, but I think if the situations were reversed and blackness was seen as hyper feminine black women would be marrying out more than black men.
it's opportunity
a black woman is going to be seen as more masculine than a similarly situated white women on average. and she will have less opportunity to "marry out"
cmon man, ff course blackness is a associated with hypermasculinity.
From sports, crime, culture, pornography, America's history as a slave state ect.
blackness is unconsciously viewed as masculine by most people.
There isn't a "debate". What she said makes 0 sense.
The burden of proof is on her to prove her premise/argument (whatever that is).
Note: The numbers do not support her argument.
Also:
We should probably consider the source of these narratives and "debates":

I think her point is that it's morally worse for a black man to marry a non black man woman,
than vice versa
