Create Black Family Emojis on Iphones and Samsung Galaxy phones

The Issue

This petition is to encourage Apple and Samsung to create Black Family Emojis. 

Iphones and Samsung Galaxy phones have many emojis. Many of their phones allow you to have racial emojis including the Black or African descent emoji, including different shades of "Black" so one should not feel left out due to skin complexion. Finally the emojis are also gender balance where you can choose both male and female emojis. 

However, to my frustration their are no Black or African emojis for families. We have the capability to put same sex families as emojis, but unfortunately the Black and/or African family is left out as if Apple and Samsung do not support Black Families. 

I am a firm believer that positive images of the Black Family are an invaluable asset in our society. Many of us constantly use emojis in our conversations whether in personal chat or public platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. We should be able to choose emojis of Black Families, just like we can use Black firefighters, doctors, graduates, dancers and more. 

I have a frustrating question for Apple and Samsung. Are images of Black families not desierable? Are they systematically removed to destroy the image of the Black family? or just a innocent oversight? 

Lets petition Iphone and Samsung to make the change! Apple and Samsung add Black Family Emojis to Iphone and Galaxy phones.
