Dating is a Class Issue. Class Doesn't Secure Love.

  • Summary

  • In today's episode, I will be going over dating within the Black Elite from the Gilded Age to our current dating problems. I am going to detail how our dating problems are connected to class. Class isn't a guarantee a healthy romantic partnership. In the pop culture segment, I am going to detail Sabrina Carpeter's dating drama and the connections to parasocial relationships.
