I am African American myself. But I feel ashamed to see members of my race act rude, get loud and act obnoxiously, which is mostly common with girls who go to high school and some big for nothing girls who should know better. I see some boys and girls make fun of people at the metro station , act rude and talk loud on buses like they are the only ones on the bus.
I just think it creates a stereotype about blacks that we are rude, loud and arrogant, disrespectful which is not true of all blacks.
I have never seen a single white person do something like that.
The other day I was on the bus and a black guy, who was probably high on drugs yelled and assaulted this man who could father him.

Its the way people are raised by their parents. The generations before us seem to want to hold on to that ancestral slavery issue. After bieng raised by parents who harp on that all of the time the children are raised from an impressionable age that they are threatened in some way. So they end up with alot of unnessary anger that was instilled by their parents and they dont even relize it. The slaves were captured by the Arabs and sold to the Europeans and British that had setteled here. In time that bad attitude will change. Its just a part of the evilutionary process

Some do some don't its due to variation and you mean Central-West Africans where their ancestors mostly came from. Considering almost all African Americans are a mix of various Central-West African ethnicities with a large proportion even having a non Central-West African admixture such as European and North American there will be differences. But the two can look identical. Somalians are not Arabs nor are Ethiopians or Saharan & North-East African black populations, some are Afro Arab which is basically arabanized (culturally) black Africans for centuries like how Black Americans are Americans but still black.

The reason sir is simple, they can not when the argument at hand with facts or logic so the laws of nature come into play and in nature loud wins. They really would get a lot more respect if they knew how to act.

"African Americas", or as I call them, Americans, are a brand new culture. They need time to find their voices. Loud and obnoxious behavior is all that have at this point, they have no real power so they try to assert themselves in infantile ways. This makes sense since this new culture is in its infancy. Give them time and they will get it together.
By the way, you are not an African American. You may be black but calling it the metro station places you somewhere in the vicinity of England so the American part of "African American" is suspect.

Acting obnoxious, loud and rude is NOT unique to your race. Every race has that problem. Most boys and girls (and alot of adults) act that way especially in groups. It's an attention getter. Do not feel ashamed of your race for this-again it has nothing to do with race! Yes white people act this way often too! I hate loud obnoxious people! Especially drunks! Just try to ignore it and feel good about yourself because you are not that way!! : )

I USE CAPS WHEN THEY ARE MULTIPLE ANSWERS...AND I LOVE CAPS. IT'S SAD TO SAY YOUR QUESTION WILL NEVER BE ANSWERED. BLACK WOMAN TEND TO GET LOUD AND BREAK OUT WITH A ATTITUDE ALOT. IT'S A STEREOTYPE THAT ALL BLACKS DO IT, WHEN IT'S A FEW. ON TV SHOWS PEOPLE MIMIC THEM BY SNAPPING THEIR FINGERS, HAND ON THE HIP, SHAKE THE HEAD AND SAY "I KNOW SHE DIDN'T GIRLFRIEND". LIKE ON THE AMAZING RACE LAST MONTH THE TWO BLACK WOMAN WAS LOUD, QUICK TEMPERED AND RUDE THE WHOLE TIME.
MAYBE ONE DAY THEY WILL BREAK THE CYCLE AND SEE HOW OTHER PEOPLE VIEW THEM WITH THIS STEREOTYPE.

I think the part of creating a stereotype is true. Meaning that, most of them who are rude and such actually just want to make a statement and status in the society as to proof themselves of power and "attitude". It shows off the wrong way and ends up being a stereotype as you said.

Go to Italy or Spain and see how loud whites are over there;))))))) I love black people, and I don't consider them loud/rude, on the contrary, all my black friends( mostly Haitians-Americans) are very nice, well-mannered people with strong values. Furthermore, oungsters are the same everywhere, they're louder than elders;) Peace.

The same reason why some non-African American women get loud and obnoxious. It has nothing to do with being African American.
