This annoying black lady answers her phone twice and had 2 full on loud conversations during a quiet movie. About 10 people moved seats away for her and some left the movie completely. She never even once said "oh, im in a movie, can I call you back later" I couldnt belive it. I never wanted to yell a racial slur at someone so bad in my life. What would you have done?

I've noticed this all over not just in movie theaters, it has brought down society and civilization in general. I hope one day we fix it so our children don't have to tolerate it also. Things haven't always been like this it started about 15 years ago and seems to be getting worse.

Sorry to inform you that 'black people' do not have the market cornered on being rude. That was rude of her to answer and conversate on her phone loudly during a movie but I see it all the time and not just by someone black. When someone is being rude in my presence, the last thing that comes to my mind is yelling a racial slur. Maybe the fact that you wanted to yell that is just your nature. If I was not 'brave' enough to ask her to be considerate of others, I would have politely gotten up and moved just like the other civilized people. There is no way I would have walked out of a movie I paid my hard earned money to see. May God Bless

It just so happens that this rudeness happened to you from a black person, but I do not believe ONLY black people would be this rude. You just haven't been around 'white' folks who were that rude, but there are such out there. As for what I would have done, I guess I would have gone to the lobby & asked a person of authority to speak to her about not doing that in the theatre. Maybe she got a new cell phone & was an insecure person who wanted to show off to the whole world around her that she had arrived into the status quo of those in the cell phone world. Feel sorry for her that she was either so insecure or so ignorant. Most rudeness is out of ignorance.

Sorry but there are RUDE people in all races. If a "SHhhhhhhhhhhh" directed at her would not help then I would have gone and found a manager. At movie theatres I attend there is always management or someone in authority present. Most theatres also have either police or security personnel in the area. Be proud that you had the patience not to "yell a racial slur".....it could have caused some unnecessary and unwelcome issues.

Where did you get the idea that you have to black to be rude? I'm living in a mostly white town right now and going to the show is an exercise in self-restraint so I don't thump a whole bunch of rude people on the head - teenage boys and girls, chatty middle-aged suburbanite women, and parents who think it's fine to let their ten year olds terrorize a movie theater without supervision. All white in this town, and just as rude as the woman you speak about. When you can stop seeing people's behavior as related to their color then you can stop being rude and insulting yourself, which is exactly what you are being by posting this question.

first of all it had nothing to do with color. i have seen all colors not now when to say ill call you back. you cant find a white teen 12 -16 that does not have a phone up to there ear. no matter what they are doing or where there doing it at. would you been any less mad had it been a white man? i doubt it, I'm sorry you had a bad night at the movies but don't make it a race thing. there way to much of that going on now as it is.

Huh? Not only black people do that. I see white people do that quite often when I go to the movies. It's not about what color people are, there are rude and inconsiderate assholes in every race. Racist people will only notice what they want to notice though and they connect everything bad a person of another race does to their race, while when someone of their own race does it they're just individual assholes.
Or do you mean to tell me you have never met a rude asshole of your own race?

Being African American has nothing to do with it. Some people's parents just haven't been successful in teaching their children that you shouldn't be rude. I would have kindly asked her to hang up and turn off her phone or go outside and talk. If you did yell a racial remark you would be worse then her. African Americans are no different than you or I and the fact that you could even consider ethnicity to the reason someone is rude disgusts me.

I would leave the movie, but right before I leave I would say to the people in the theater My movie was ruined by a person on a cellphone and I will be getting a refund. I would advise you to do the same.

It's exactly why I stopped going to movie theaters many years ago. Noisy people are allowed to be noisy. The managers do nothing about it and then wonder why they arent making the money they used to make. I watch movies in my own home and I dont have to worry about rude people. As far as the black people remark, I've seen all kinds be rude in theaters. People just dont care anymore and no one ever thinks they are the ones doing it.
