African-American Families - Historical And Cultural Influences On African-american Family Life, Contemporary Social Influences, African-american Families In The New Millennium
In 1998, there were approximately 8.4 million African-American households in the United States. With a total population of approximately 34.5 million, African Americans made up 13 percent of the population of U.S. families. African-American families are not very different from other U.S. families; they, too, are chiefly responsible for the care and development of children. However, African-American family life has several distinctive features related to the timing and approaches to marriage and family formation, gender roles, parenting styles, and strategies for coping with adversity.

what u say about african americans can be n it might apply,but does it apply to other races. yes it u just can't single one nationality out from another then cum up with all these statistics that are probably miss calculated. why is that people always try to put african american down as if there not good enough. maybe if we were blind and didn't know color or race it wouldn't matter. why can't we all just BE AMERICAN. we live here don't we.
