You've seen it. At the mall or at the movies.

Like while you're watching the movies, you hear a black person giving play-play commentary:
"Damn n!gga, don't let that muthaf*cka go inside that house! Oh dayyyummm -- you alright n!gga, you alright, just brush that dirt off yo shouldas!!! Ain't no thang but a chicken wang! AHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no he didn't!!!"

Or answering the cellphone in the theaters:

"*Ring* (top 20 hiphop ringtone)
Yeah, whattup?
Naw, we at the movies.
Yeah.
Just me, Tyrone, Dayshawn and them.
Aiight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah n!gga.
Aiight.
Uh-huh.
Coo.
Yeah we gon' be there.
No doubt.
Aiight coo.
Peace. Late."

And that may go on for a good 5 minutes.

At my college certain blacks sit in a section of campus and just get loud and sometimes make fun of people's clothes as they walk by.

Why do you tend to see black people act loud and rude in public?

And yes, I know any race can act ignorant, but it seems to be more pronounced with blac

What also gets me is that these people acting ignorant must be totally oblivious to the fact that they are being bad representatives of their race, to those racist types that will assume ALL blacks are that way. And I know many black people are embarrassed by the loud and rude blacks.

SoBelle:

I think you gave bad examples when making comparisons. You said whites being loud at parties at football games. Football games and parties are supposed to be loud. You said talking on cellphones at malls, restaurants, or in an office. Since when was talking on a phone at a mall bad etiquette? I was talking about being loud in a movie theater, being loud on campus, talking on the phone in a movie theater. Although I believe there are ignorant whites that are ignorant in these places, you didn't really give good examples. Have you ever seen a quiet football game or party? I haven't. I've seen quiet theaters though.

so what if we are loud? are u r stereotyping here. I have never acted that way in my life and i am black. I am a well spoken, distinguished african american with good home training and educational background that is higher than most people. Why are u paying attention to them like that? If they bother you go tell them to shut up, so they can handle you. Im not saying black people are not loud yes some of them are, but not all black people, i have never stood up or call no one a n!gga by talking back to the movie, or laughing loud or saying coo, we gon' be there, or definitely no aiight. thats ghetto talk meant for ghetto people. Please differentiate next time. Good talk.

if you have noticed and had not been so sheltered all your life you may notice that all people act stupid. black people are not always loud and rude. i know some very soft spoken blacks and some very rude white people. by the way i am a white female married to a black man with four children. have you ever tried to get to know anyone of a different race or are you always judgmental. you must not know the old saying "never judge a book by it's cover". why are you so scared of blacks!! boy i tell ya it's people like you that piss me off what do you think is wrong with the world today?? boy i wonder!!!

You will be hit big time over this question am sure, but yes it has been seen often in public. But go to tail gate parties before football games and see the noise level of whites getting loud etc or them talking on their cell phones in restaurants, in our office (a doctors office) in the malls, etc. Its not a race issue but lack of respect for others around and forgetting where they are.
I am white btw, but I think a lot of the younger groups just forget when a group gathers and each trying to out talk the others.
And yes also on the educated blacks being embarrassed over these actions as well....have seen their reactions to it myself firsthand. As we, the whites are also embarrassed by our own when we see ours doing the same.

Well, everyone has a right to expression.
Maybe you should attend films, activities, and school that are in mostly white neighborhoods.

Sounds like you have taken the problem away from them, and now you own it, because they don't know you are even troubled over it and they "Don't" care either.

Sounds like it's your problem friend.

I think its their heritage. In Africa they had no other people around and just were loud and brassy. It's innate.

its part of their inate culture.
Back in africa if you werent loud animals would eat you, this way the animals are scared of you and less likely to try to eat you.
Lots of blacks dont pay their phone bill either, so to communicate they have to stick their heads out the window and yell to their friends living near by.
