That doesn't seem to make square with what you had just said.

Because it's not that they can't ever be quiet. The instances of disruptive noise are actually rare, but you seem to think it is everyone, all the time.

You mention that blacks will erupt into violence at the slightest provocation

What I said was that telling loud black people to be quiet is risky, and that is a far greater problem than them being noisy in the first place. But the violence is a separate issue. This thread is about the volume.

But right now, I'm trying to pin down your admissions of how blacks act in public.

It is not an "admission", it is my experience and my speculation on why. In my experience rudeness and volume correlate strongly with class and culture and not strongly with race. That translates to more of the obnoxious behaviors coming from black people because they are more likely to be lower class and culturally inclined to being boisterous. But insofar as there being this higher incidence of black people being louder the cause is culture.

If you were raised in an urban hellhole all your life, I can see it being difficult to know how to act. But a lot of blacks seem to show the same behavior patterns in suburban areas or wherever else they are.

Also, it just comes down to the sheer number of incidents. For example, if I tried to recall the last 50 times I saw someone being very loud and obnoxious in public and half the time it was blacks, half the time it was whites, it might trigger me to think about how my group biases could be affecting my perceptions. In reality, blacks are acting badly a clear majority of the time and with only a small share of the overall population. It's not even close. For me to get it that wrong is like telling me I'm suffering from outright delusions rather than simply being "biased". I'm not saying you're doing it on purpose, but it has the effect of a sort of racial gaslighting.

I know this is a big ask, but read these accounts. Tell me this doesn't describe blacks spot on. There's a certain power to hearing someone's observations and seeing how closely they link up with your own observations. Some of which you never even consciously noted.

Also, not to give you homework, but google "why are black people so loud". It seems there's a lot of people with this same observation.
