Hell, I've seen groups of women (of various races) kicked out of bars and night clubs for getting liquored up and overly rowdy.

But, I will reserve judgment until video surfaces which I'd be shocked if it doesn't.
Welcome to the race card. Of course, it's possible it was racially biased which is the whole power behind the race card. Much of the time, however, it's just a license to behave badly card. That said, there's also the license to behave badly in a socially more acceptable manner for the setting. If they'd spent the entire time on their blueteeth it would still be annoying but if they kicked everyone off the train who did that, they'd go out of business.

My wife and I enjoy 'quiet time'.
We like to sit together reading / watching TV / looking at internet and only speak when we have something to say.
We will make our point - politely - and stop talking.
We rarely go out because places of all types can be so loud.
Even nice restaurants can be loud.

99% of all the arguments in the world could be ended if everyone would simply shut the hell up!

I think they deserved to get kicked off because they ignored requests to tone it down not because they were a group of black women asked to tone it down. Let's face it, a large group of people of any color can be loud and obnoxious whether they are male or female. I've cringed when out with a large group of women friends of all races, because after a few drinks, many of them had become embarrassingly loud (the laughter sounded more like drunken bleating goats). Why does the media have to report so-called newsworthy articles and put a racial twist on them every time or even dignify these silly stories in print? This gives racists a chance to express their hateful views based on the few minorities they may have encountered and self-serving stereotypes, and its gives some sensitive black people an chance to assume it was because of their color and nothing more.

Come on, if any of you have ever been around a group of blacks, they ARE loud. Just part of their culture, I guess. That isn't being judgmental or anything racist, just a fact of life.

Sometimes you have to consider the people around you, that is what separates a person with class vs one with no class.

I've been around groups of Italians, Jewish and Chinese people all of my life and believe me the sheer volume can deafen you. No part of any group's culture consists of being loud, but many groups of people are, this is not something intrinsic to black people. Stop showing your ignorance and pretending you are just innocently stating a so-called fact.

It's funny you start off with anecdotal evidence and then proceed to talk about facts.

No, your statement is very racist. LOL. You assumed that because we share a similar skin pigment, we're all from the same culture?
Do you also assume that we all cook cornbread, collard greens, pig feet and fried chicken at family gatherings?
