Am i dumb for still wanting that "white picket fence"?

i still want to have kids, not sure about marriage but i want a "family" my friends think that timein history is over and no one will be together like that anymore, also i saw a news program that said my chances as a black woman to have that are slim to none, should i just give up?

    Personally I think the white picket fence is overrated. I mean a fence that short can't keep people out, and the picket part could hurt your kids if they fall on it.

    The truth is that the majority of the United States does have, or is striving to that. Yes there are a lot of failures, but the sheer number of them should tell you that you are not the only one still hoping for that. Your friends who think such a life is impossible have given up on the chance of familial happiness. That's to their detriment. I would love to have a wife and kids, home in the suburbs, friendly neighbors, big yard, and no fear of being shot outside my home.
