Considering African American and American Culture

When I think of family, I think of a mother, father or father figure, and at least two kids living all under one roof. We all think of family different. People of different races may not think of it like I do. Some households with just a mom and a kid is a family to some. It just all depends on how you were raised and who taught you what family is. When people talk about black families being dysfunctional and etc, I feel they are talking about when they are always having problems within the house hold and the father is back and forth, cheating and just can't get right. It's basically about love being in the house and doing things together as a family. In the hispanic families I know that they usually have thier grandparents live with them as a part of thier family. I feel a homosexual family with two guys and a child isn't really a family because that is not the way God intended it to be. The white families are always shown on tv as so happy and jolly, like a brady bunch family. The blacks are shown going through obstacles and problems like the cosby family.
