Or generally white people are more distant from their family?

I feel like every white person I know has an estranged sibling or don't talk to one of the parents that raised them. And when you ask them why they don't have any particular reason and look at you like "why would we be closer?"

Alternatively, it always seems out of the ordinary to hear a black (or latino) person didn't speak to a sibling or a parent who was around when they grew up AND there wasn't a glaring family issue like abuse, drugs or whatever.

In short, white folks seem mad distant from their own family members generally speaking.

Anyone else see that?

i don't see that.

2nd cousins and shit, but I don't think there's a difference when it comes to nuclear family.

difference outside of that. but shit, i wish i had a bunch of cousins.

once you scratch the surface, or peel back the curtains, you find some very very fcked up situations very very often.

Distant geographically yes. I've noticed that they tend to have very very spread out family all over the country.

I do believe they are more apt to cut off communication with family members over the same type of stuff that we tend to sweep under the rug or put up with or act like doesn't exist/isn't happening...



"Get ready..for your blessing..."

as we get older we stories about why family members don't really like each other.

but then again...

I had an aunt who was drunk and fell down my aunts (her sister) steps and SUED her. My aunt could have told insurance she was drunk but she didn't and when I asked why she was like "cause I didn't want to rat out my sister"

WTF?

In my experience, closeness or distance from family members wasn't determined by race. Other factors played a much bigger role in that.

Black folk can't even admit that their mother ain't shit.

C U next Tuesday directly to their faces at age 11 or 12 as well

that I would be scared to even think abt as a passing thought for fear that my parents might read my mind lol

But I will say that respect that we've customarily shown to our parents isn't as commonplace amongst many blk teens today

and she beat me with a vacuum.

And my mom doesn't beat anyone with anything.

told his mom to suck his dick as a diss, and she aint even bat an eye.
I was appalled to say the least

Have an issue with someone in their immediate family. Like straight hates them, haven't talked to them in decades, will fist fight on sight. I be like, damn what they do that was so bad. Answer, They had Thanksgiving dinner when I was supposed to host it or some stupid sh*t like that. LMAO

More so than black and Latinos.

Me too. I have the numbers to back my feeling too.

Man We welcomed back a family member that shot my aunt in the back cause she was out at the club when they were married. Black fols will forgive anything. LOL

I got fam that got over pulling guns on each other at a family reunion. Their response was "we family, what we suppose to do but put it behind us?"

THat's how we get down. Live and let live, forgive and mostly forget. LOL

i can only speak from my experience though.

but Italians, Greeks, and plenty of other white families seem very similar to what we think of as black family culture.

That's why I said same to me. I could tell when the op wrote this he wasn't considering Italians and Greeks

her first cousins cousin ... i was clutching pearls lol

hell we got 5th and 6th cousins that you would think are our 1st cousins

we got cousins who ain't really our cousins

we got cousins who we call aunts and uncles just cuz they are older than us lol

i love me some us

and we get together every single fourth of July in the same place... Its died down a little bit over the years but its still there. I also call alot of people my cousin and aunt that are definitely not related to me...

It also really wouldnt be an OPTION to not speak to any of my three brothers or my extended family. People would be like "what? Unless he killed your mother..."


My mom's side is way smaller and eastern european... I only see them at weddings.

any more recently immigrated group of white people are still close to their family.

The longer you've been in America, the more your family spreads out. If you're the second generation here, there's a good chance you have 30 relatives within a 30 minute drive.

I think there's a positive correlation between having an ethnic or racial identity in North America with family values/traditions. White people who aren't attached to their heritage tend to place less value on family 'closeness' or whatever you want to call it.

White parents are quick to kick the kids out too. And not share financial resources. My perception is that's generally frowned upon in families who have ethnic or racial identities.

when it comes to black I feel its more on area you raised in. I dont know any cousins, aunts or uncle. Yet my family I heard I have downsouth all know each other. it really depends on situation

and stay in touch with most people on my dad's side, they are legit, good people. After my grandmother on my mom's side passed, I don't fuck with anyone other than my mom, they are total scumbags, plus they live in Wisconsin. But yeah, I think white people will cut a motherfucker off real quick lol.
