Why do black people have to be so loud?

Like seriously and I'm not even intending to be racist (though some smarmy asshole will for sure interpret it that way for an unironic purpose).

I live in an apartment, top floor and I'm virtually surrounded by black tenants. To my left, I've got a black tenant that occasionally will slam things or knock on walls or shuffle things to where it can be heard.

To my right, I've got another who does something similarly, but loves slamming their door when leaving and entering their apartment.

Across the hallway from me is a literal family of black people, one mother who talks loudly and her children is obnoxiously loud with running around the hallway, screeching, loudly arguing for everyone to hear.

Then below me, is another who has actually threatened me once because I got tired of his music blaring. But you can guess right, he sometimes likes to blare his damn bass-assisted music and claims he 'can't hear' it.

Like, is it really that challenging for these people to like, be a bit sophisticated and respectful to realize that they aren't the only living things in this building?

LanternEverywhere,

Questions with presuppositions should be removed by the mods.

So should passive aggressive assholes.

You apparently don't know what passive aggressive means. I'm being open and direct. Your question is based on a presupposition and it should be removed.

Notice through all of this you never call out the landlord or building for being shoddy or it’s poor sound proofing.

Not one of these things was related to race, but you went out of your way to make it about race. White people can’t be loud and annoying? Black people can’t be quiet and respectable? Get out of here with your racist undertones. Go do some soul searching and figure out why you actually don’t like them, then think about that for a while.

Ah yeah, found the shit poster.

Zorque,

Finally decided on some self-reflection, then?

blargerer,

Asshole neighbours exist everywhere. You are being racist by blaming their skin colour. Fuck off.

They all had a secret meeting one night and agreed to try to drive the annoying neighbour out of the block.

Blocking the Reddit pricks. I knew Lemmy had some of them lingering around with their logical fallacies.

If you have a statement that begins with “I’m not racist but …”, that is your first sign that you are being racist. Living in apartments always comes with a high likelihood of noise. It is an unfortunate fact and has absolutely nothing to do with race.

toiletobserver,

I’ll have you know i sit in the other side of a cubical wall from a loud white Canadian at work. He’s not even an apologetic Canadian, LAME. I have to hear everything he says for 8 hours a day. I mostly wear noise cancelling headphones.

(Though some smarmy asshole will for sure post this unironically thinking that they’re not being racist.)

The actual answer to OP’s question is to look up cognitive biases, and to eventually realize that “black” isn’t the relevant descriptor here.

I’ve been living in apartments all my life and I’ve got to tell you: loud neighbours isn’t a racial thing

There is a very simple answer to this: all black people are not loud.

It sounds like you live near a lot of loud people who happen to be black

I hope that clears up your confusion 😉

It does but there's a lot of retards posting here that are running with the "DER DER RACIST! DER DER!" rhetoric that I've since blocked. Because they're walking examples of a literacy issue that's going on in the world.

When you ask a question that's based on obviously false race-essentialist assumptions and insult responses you don't like, that's not other people having a literacy issue.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

and I’m not even intending to be racist

This is the point when you should have considered not posting this crap.

Yup and another. Oh what a cute little name you have there. Did you peak in middle school when you thought of that name?

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

Yup and another.

Is this supposed to mean something?

shortwavesurfer,

He just asked a question people would like to know the answer to and are too chicken-shit to ask themselves.

You don’t have to be brave to say racist bullshit xD you’re like those stand up comedians who think they’re being brave in the face of liberal cancel culture by making fun of trans people
