Marriage is on the decline generally in the U.S., and among African-Americans the rates are particularly low, especially among African-American women. Stanford law professor Rick Banks explores the reasons for this in his new book, “Is Marriage for White People?”

And he has a recommendation for black women looking for a mate — cross the color line and consider men of other races.

Guests:

Rick Banks, professor of law at Stanford University and author of "Is Marriage for White People?: How the African-American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone"
