http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/02/co ... latestnews Quote: It was to be the most expensive “shhhhhhhh” in history. Delaware's Supreme Court, however, ruled that when a movie theater manager asked an audience to stay quiet during Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married,” the manager was not acting on a racial impulse, reported the Hollywood Reporter. The ruling overturned a judgment that would have awarded 23 black theatergoers $1,500 for being told to be quiet in a way seen by some to be racially charged, according to the report. Carmike 14 Theater was told to pay nearly $80,000 for insulting, humiliating and demeaning patrons in the "minority-themed" movie, reported Delaware Online. Not sure what to say without being labeled a racist. Granted I hate going to the movie theater, mostly because I hate damn near everyone in the theater who is not quite. |

Quote: Juana Fuentes-Bowles, then the director of Delaware’s Human Relations Division, was in the audience and stood up and told the crowd that his remarks were racist. Nothing beats a professional "finder of racism", employed by the taxpayers, to pull the race-card looking for a payday. |

Ya know I know a certain black preacher who had some rather damning comments about this kind of thing. I'm shocked no ones brought that up yet. |

Wasn't the case in Montreal either (at least not when I lived there back in the 90s), but it is the case here in NYC. Not as bad as the Chris Rock routine makes it seem, but definitely enough to be annoying at times. |

When it's someone being loud at the wrong time, it's a black person the vast majority of the time. Especially if it's a horror film. These are the things I've found to be true of most black folks here. They don't like dogs. Unless it's a pitbull they own. They are loud in theaters. They love to fish. |

Exactly. If I go to see a horror film and there is a large group of my brothers and sisters there, I skip to a different theater. |

and as soon as you go making statements about vast groups of people based solely on the color of their skin, you are in fact, racist. |

It's not racist to make a decision based on past experience with a common demographic. The fact that the demographic might be "black people" instead of "lawyers," "doctors," or "republicans" doesn't make it automatically racist. I used to go to movies a lot. I'm talkin three or four a week. Know what my anecdotal experience has taught me? White people use cellphone lights or whispers to communicate, black people like to throw out commentary during the film ("Run, *****!") and Mexican people like to show up late in groups. Your mileage may vary, but I can guarantee at least two of these would happen if I went to a movie theater this evening. |

You're not racist if you hate everyone equally ^-^ oh and we don't have a loud black population here, it's the asians you gotta look out for. And Lebanese, but they tend to stick to one area and you can avoid them during peak times... I avoid cinemas just cause I like to eat, walk around, and possibly smoke, so DVDs or pirated stuff for me

Depends what you smoke, I guess. Alcohol is definitely preferable to crack. |

Yet another lib with the white guilt complex who doesn't know what racism is. Big surprise. No, The Riov is right here. If you walk into a theater, see black people, and expect them to behave in a certain way, that is racist. It may suck when they confirm your stereotype, but holding it is still racist. The problem is that you are in fact expecting them to behave in a certain way because of their race. Oh, yes, you can say that it's "culture," and I will agree, to an extent. The question is - does their culture spring from their race? The inability to at all see it as a result of the socio-economic situation of blacks is in fact racist. |
