The Pro-Black Research Desk
Black communities deserve statistics that can survive inspection—not numbers chosen to flatter a position or frighten a reader.

Direct answer
What is the Pro-Black Research Desk?
The Pro-Black Research Desk is an independent public-data publication authored by Tyler Burns. It produces reproducible briefs about Black life and clearly separates what evidence establishes, what it suggests, and what it cannot answer.
Every brief publishes its source files, definitions, calculations, limitations, review status, and correction path. The Desk is not affiliated with a government agency or university journal.

Can You Be Pro-Black and Date Outside Your Race?
A Source Audit of Black Marriage, Intermarriage, Wealth, and Pro-Black Movement Precedent
A concise, source-driven answer using Pro-Black history, Census income and wealth data, intermarriage research, and a clear separation between empirical findings and doctrine.
No. Under The Pro-Black Standard, interracial dating is not Pro-Black conduct. Pro-Black relationship practice builds stable Black households that retain love, labor, culture, assets, and inheritance within the Black community.
Different sources and universes. The brief keeps intermarriage, income, wealth, historical evidence, and doctrine visibly separated.
Published briefs
The record remains open.
The research standard
Every number must carry its burden of proof.
A polished page is not evidence. The source, universe, definition, calculation, uncertainty, and limitation must remain visible.
Primary data first
Government datasets, administrative records, and original scholarly publications are preferred over summaries.
Definitions before claims
Race category, age range, geography, time period, and statistical measure are named before interpretation.
Limits stay visible
Descriptive patterns are not presented as causes. Sampling error and incompatible series are not hidden.
Corrections stay public
Each brief carries a version, publication date, review status, and a path for documented correction.
Evidence before spectacle
No borrowed authority.
The Research Desk is an independent publication of The Pro-Black Standard. It is not affiliated with the Census Bureau, CDC, PubMed, or a university journal. A source link is evidence of inspection—not an endorsement by the source.
