How do you tell a black person to stop talking in a movie theatre

[mizzou]

....without offending them

??



Went to go see a movie and a black couple sat down next to me. They kept on talking during the movie, REALLY @#%!!# loud. It was always during a quiet part of the movie.

"KEEP THAT GUN POINTED AT HER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"

"DON"T GO IN THERE! YOU IDIOT!"

Stupid stuff like that


Anyway, I wanted to tell them to shut the !@%! up but the problem is that there is a stereotype that black people are loud and obnoxious at the movie theatre. How do I tell them to shut the fuck up, and not sound like a racist?

How the heck did that get started, is this a southern thing? Sure as heck isn't a midwest thing!


If it were a white couple, I would have no problem telling them off because I have before and I know I'm not going to get the dirty racist look, I'm going to get the dirty mind your own business or I will knife you look, which is to be expected.

Hmmmm, in before lock?

I've never heard of that stereotype.

Anyway, tell them like you'd tell anyone else. If you treat them differently, you're the problem, not the solution.

Put on black makeup and then tell them to shut the fsck up. There, now you're free from all racial stigma!

:disgust:

For decency's sake, stay in your mother's basement and troll no more!

It's impossible. A black person is genetically predisposed to talking during movies. This is a fact, which cannot be denied. Everyone knows this.

Exactly. Firmly but non-confrontatively and politely. Begin with, "Yo, home slice."

Definitely a stereotype that existed in almost every movie I saw when I lived in Philly.

How long have you been a Democrat? Doesn't the handbook cover this?

When I worked at a local theater, sweet jesus did I hate black movies. What's his face, the one that makes those shitty movies and tv shows? House of Payne or something?
Seriously, I would mean no disrespect but, in this case it's the absolute truth. Those movies are made entirely for black people, because somehow black people are like bred for that kind of comedy. Wait, sorry correction time: geared entirely to any black person who isn't self-respecting, and also anybody in the category of thug, unless it's a chinese or mexican thug, then they stay away from that shit too.

I hated working the nights when those movies were in. White Chicks was a big one when I was working there. Ugh.

Strangely, the premier weekend for Rush Hour 3 the theaters were filled with a lot of black people. And it sucked because they talked and used their cell phones and acted like complete assholes in the theater, and I was in charge one night of keeping them in line or having the police officers that worked security on big weekends to kick them out. Oh that was joyful. Got to watch most of the movie, and I was getting annoyed with how often I had to cause a greater commotion than the one disrupting my paid movie viewing time. Inconsiderate pricks. Because then I had to look like the asshole when they wouldn't shut their damn mouths or keep their cell phones put away. Note: that bright screen on your phone? I can see it 30 rows back thanks to the viewing advantage of stadium seating.
