I guess that depends on where you live. Most of my black friends and acquaintances have numerous extended family that they see often. They’re not all far-flung like many of my white friends’ families are. Sunday dinners with several generations together, sisters traveling on girl tripos, shopping, lots of cousins to grow up with and play with. They all have a dozen aunties and uncles that were part of the close family. Before she retired, one of my coworkers didn’t pass a week without a family member stopping by to say hi (at work.) When I think of close families, I often think of the black families I know.

"I guess that depends on where you live."

I was just going by the statistics(not sure from where) I heard on the radio a while back regarding broken families and out of wedlock childbirths.
