I know the marriage stats are wrong / mainpulated for both whites and Blacks, where can I find the real data?

Some time ago I was doing a report for fake statistics given out on the Black community and happened upon data showing that, not only was Black marriage stats were far better than reported, but all marriage data was falsified as reported. If I recall correctly, they committed "calculation fraud", like they took the people divorced that year, vs the people married that year, which are two very low numbers, compared to everyone married. This gives an inflated value to divorce.

I cannot find that data any longer in searches. Can someone help me?

    You doing spoon-fed search.

    When researching, find a source that is legitimate and never assume they are correct because no statistics are ever correct with 100% certainty. Statistics is to me part of SWAG (Scientifically wild *** guessing ) like the game theory.

    Good place to start your search is the US Consensus. Another good place is www.grants.gov. Do a search on paid grants for government sponsored 3rd party research. When you find the grant you can call and ask them who are the companies that received the money. Then call them and ask them about any publicized works or ifi they share or sale reports. Can even google these firms to see if they had made such research available online.
