A Question to Black Americans?

Question

i'm not racist. It would be stupid for me to be racist because i'm from the East coast of Africa. But anyways, I have a question to black Americans. Why are you people so loud. I live in a big city, i'm not taking any stupid racial stereotypes but every single day I come across a loud, disrespectful, unprofessional person, they always end up being afro American. In my culture, men and women are supposed to respect themselves, and we value the innocence of shyness. We always speak softly and softspoken but afro Americans are the exact oppos. You guys are always laughing, mocking people, being extremely loud, I mean its almost like its part of your culture to be loud. I see generations of blacks in the train. Old and young yelling at the top of their lungs in public.
Why do you blacks tend to be so loud?
and dont tell me to stop generalizing because you know that you are loud, and besides you might enjoy being loud ( i didnt say it was bad) but i just want to know y u r loud

Answer 1

Well I am from west Africa and Africans can be loud too, but not in public. Africans are usually loud around their family or friends, but in public they seem quiet.

Answer 2

Those are N*GGAS NOT BLACK PEOPLE! Real black people have intelligence and class PERIOD! Just like some white trash rednecks are loud, dirty and ugly but not all whites are....DUH.

Answer 3

yes, in your culture men and women are shy and quiet. in AMERICA, we're LOUD. it doesn't matter if we're black or white. and by the way, no matter how many times you say that you're not, you ARE racist because you're saying that ALL black people are loud. i've met many black people that are not loud.

Answer 4

Go ask those Afro Americans you see everyday if not...

Mind your business and let people live their life.

Answer 5

The black side of my family shocked me when I met them. They were SO loud and bold. But after awhile, I just got used to it. And I actually became more bold myself, but not so loud. BUT there's also a branch of the black side that is very quiet and reserved. My aunt and uncle say they are nerds. Whatever. The white side of my family is way more quiet, reserved, and mannerly. People call it proper. There's just a cultural difference, and I believe it stems from upbringing and where you were raised. Because there are black folks who were raised around me who are not loud. I've also know loud and ignorant white folks.

Answer 6

Well honestly that does not have to do with every black people it depends on how they are raised...at times I can be loud but I am a very respectful person. I only respect someone if they respect me. I know several people that are very perfesional and kind. I just think that you are puting all blacks in one bracket. Not all of us are like that.

It makes me mad when people like you think this way.

You are racist and ...Soem blacks are just not shy!!!

If someone is disrespecting me, i am not just going to be all mellow and talk to them soft spokenly...I am going to tell them off!!!

Answer 7

Some are, true. Personally, I am very soft-spoken, as are most of the women in my family. i'm married to a Hispanic man, and he comes from a VERY loud family. I was just remarking about it just a few moments ago! I really don't know what to tell you....as much as stereotypes can seem true, sometimes the exact opposite is more true.

Answer 8

.

Answer 9

There is one major difference, this is America, where morals and values are often replaced by the tendency to do what one pleases, without considering others first. I dont get it, but I am glad I am not one of those African Americans that is loud. I am usually quiet.

Answer 10

what the heck is innocence of shyness? get over yourself and mind your business instead of the "afro-americans" you are talking about...btw you are the ancestor of us..if you are so "respectful" then don't bash



PEACE!

Answer 11

Oh this should be good...

Answer 12

I think you are generalizing a bit, becuase I know a lot of blacsks that do not act like that (I know I don't). Besides, the sad flip side of that is alot of times if someone that is black does not conduct him/herself like a walking-talking stereotype, they are accused of "acting white". Damned if we do, damned if we don't.



And you have to remember, unless you are from Eritrea or Ethiopia or some other non Islamized nation, many East African nations do not afford their citizens the same civil liberties and freedom of expression that the US does. That could be why you are more reserved and quiet. It could be a sort of cultural residue if you will, that you maintained when you got here. Maybe if you grew up in the states and had the same socialization agents that many blacks in this country have, you might act the same way. Just something to think about.

Answer 13

Well, in my personal opinion, I agree. I've come across the same situation, seeing as I attend a Historically Black University. I know its a stereotype, but it had to have come from somewhere. And I'm not saying that this is all black people, or even a majority. I just know that a lot of people know that this is still true for a lot of black americans. It all depends on how these people grew up, and how they feel about themselves. And all of that junk about it being the ones from the "ghetto" and them not knowing any better isn't true. You choose how you want to present yourself, but this is true for everyone. I do believe that all people are unique and special, but I also believe that there is a time and a place for everything, and that is not going to help black americans advance any faster.

Answer 14

Very exciting question simply by fact i don't be conscious of a lot approximately this. All I could say is that in the event that they might't become conscious of w/ human beings of an analogous blood/ancestors simply by fact they are "embarrassed", is actual ridiculous. Do they think of they are extra efficient than us? Is it extra of an "American" or "Black" element? that's the place i'm puzzled. and don't they be conscious of that no longer all Black human beings are "ghetto", so that they could placed off of judging us from what they see in Western media or uncommon encounters w/ ignoramus. The U.S., only like everywhere else, has a considered "decrease classification" society, and American Blacks are no longer the only group in that classification. thank you for this question!

Answer 15

Black people are people that like to laugh and like those people that can make them laugh. Blacks are emotional and are moved by there emotions. When they are excited, it comes out in there tone which to you is loud. Blacks can not be all that bad for those who offered Rock 'n' Roll, Jazz, and the Blues to the world. If it wasn't for that, American would probably not have anything to offer the world of culture. What reason is it that black pop culture tends to make it to mainstream? For the record, black people have social classes just like other cultures and races upper class, middle class, and trash-ni@*as!

Answer 16

So your from Africa? Well us African American are "loud" as you would say because we of course were born in America aka The Land of the Free! the place you decided to call home. I'm black and I'm proud I SAY IT LOUD!

Answer 17

I dont know why they are loud? Because they want to be heard? I find it annoying but seriously Americans period are loud

Answer 18

in jr. high there was this niger kid. most of the afroamerican kids used to make fun of his accent and skin color. they even called him ashy buckwheat. they even made him cry. but the funny thing is he turned out just like the black kids in school and started acting and talking like the other black kids. very sad. I wonder if he is in prison or jail.



what is sad is that he was so nice and smiling in the beginning of the school year. it all went down hill when he tried to fit in with the other black kids and start acting like them. remember this was in the 80s when gangs and the "yo yo" black culture was getting it's foot in the doorway.

Answer 19

Honey, I have no idea. But honestly, I'm not loud, unless I'm excited. Like at a football game or something. But I get embarrassed when black girls in my school go around the hallways being so damn loud. It's annoying. I'm not going to sit here and lie about some black people being loud as hell. It's the truth, and anyone who calls you a racist is dumb.



But please don't say Afro-Americans, it's not the 70's any more.

Answer 20

Don't generalize. Its quite rude. Its a shame, but that does seem to be a rather prevalent cultural value among you african americans. Especially in the inner cities were education, and speaking properly are seen as uncool.

Answer 21

fo shizl dizl

Answer 22

some people think they can get away with being rude to others because white people are too guilty about the past to say anything or theyre afraid to be accused of racism if we DARE tell a black person how theyre really acting.

i dont care if i get thumbs down for this, im just calling it how I see it

*note, this does not apply to all black people

Answer 23

They are loud, rude & uncivilized, and idk why.

Answer 24

I just love how you say ''you people.'' It's funny how some people are saying ''most blacks'' when ''most blacks'' refers to THOUSANDS (U.S) of people and I'm pretty no one here know thousands of blacks personally so they really need to shut the hell up and so do you.

Answer 25
