We established that when talking about the black family dynamic, our aunties are the glue of the family. However, we can't forget our uncles too.
Here are 15 uncles that can usually be found in the black family. Y'all get some love too.
1. Mack Daddy Uncle
Your uncle that had all the ladies back in the day, and he thinks he can still get them. He'll probably try to talk to your friends.
2. Father Figure Uncle
Your uncle that treats his nieces and nephews like his own children. Did something positive with his life and ends up being the family example. Family means everything to him.

Your uncle that has dedicated their life to serving the Lord. Everybody asks him to pray over the food. He always asks you when you're coming to church.

5. Crackhead Uncle
Your uncle who does or has struggled with his drug addiction. Everybody just wonders how he got to that point in the first place.
