[Mary]

I've asked several of my black friends why this is...all have said that it is simply more acceptable for black folks to be loud - especially around each other. One friend said that there was a theory that blacks had to be so quiet and uptight around whites in slave days, that when in their own setting, and around each other, there was a lot of steam to let loose. I've also noticed that my black friends don't 'shush' you around their babies, and the babies sleep right through it..hence they probably grow up not as sensitive to noise in the home. Plus...you ever been to a black church? I'd take that kind of worship anyday over the kind of white silence that I grew up with!
