Clearly you didn't get the side joke in there: "aksing."

On another note, he's saying "some" black people, not all black people, and guess what? He's correct and everyone knows he is.

This was originally going to be my response to you.

But, I wonder, we both agree that stating facts about a race isn't racism, but would disliking them simply because of whatever facts/reasons make you racist? If so, I don't why it's such a bad thing to be a racists. Many things about different cultures annoy the hell out of me, and I definitely hold some negative sentiment toward them.

1. Your joke was not funny.
2. I would sort of agree with you (it is pretty obvious that OP is a bigot) but he goes on to say "all other races can speak normally". There are hispanics and white people who talk too loud and are annoying as well. Saying that "yes, some black people are loud and annoying so he's not racist" is bs.

One word: generalizations.

He comes across as bigot-like, but his observations are largely correct and I believe his question is fairly honest. In general black people are very loud.

well, clearly it's wrong to hate THE WHOLE GROUP due to some predisposed notion. obviously not all fat black women are loud as hell, so to hate a fat black woman you don't know, simply because a hefty (ha) percentage of them are incredibly loud, it stupid and racist.

why do chinese people eat so much chinese food??? racist? no, but

why are fat black women so damn loud? racist? somehow yes!

[/ QUOTE ]

This difference b/t these two is really, really obvious. The first is easily proven (by looking at food import/sale in china, for example) and the second is pure anecdotal evidence. I would challenge you to show me anything remotely objective that makes the case that all, or even most, fat black women are loud. The vast majority of the time when people say "people of race X do Y that pisses me off" they are subject to a huge selection bias. You are much more likely to notice the two fat black women talking loudly on the bus then you are to notice the other two that are quietly sitting there reading. Its the same flawed logic that leads the fish to conclude that "pocket aces never win for me".

Anecdotal evidence is virtually always worthless when making an argument, so enough of the "it must be a cultural thing, because every black guy I've ever met talks loudly"

i love this..

if two black people were talking about this, it probably woudn't be uncommon for one of them to say

"hell yeah we're loud! we got soooooooooooul"

but somehow that's not racist.
