(Chicago Tribune) — Tamika Miller knows what she wants in a husband. Her Mr. Right would be ambitious and driven, well-mannered and polite, smart, attractive, faithful and, of course, ready for family life. But the 35-year-old Alsip woman has one thing hampering her dating search: she’s an African-American woman hoping to meet and marry an African-American man. And that puts her in the category of singles least likely to marry, according to U.S. census figures. ”I am getting older. I’ve never been married. I don’t have any children.
