Why is it "The Black Family" but no one else gets the "the"?

I think it's to avoid any racial pitfalls.

THey did "the" on the others too.

And I mean, there is a potential for a misunderstanding.

But I am really starting to like the Blacks. The Dad and all of them have what I would call the right attitude -- taking it all in, even if t full speed.

It was a characteristic shared by last year's winners, who I was rooting for when she shaved her head!
