The damn speeches...THAT'S a different story. Get rid of the speeches and there will be all the time that is needed for all the cheerin' that people want to do.
“The cheering never bothered me.”
Have you ever visited or seen a video of a black church at the peak of it’s service? Imagine that going on in a formal auditorium as you are trying to hear your child’s name announced.
My SO’s mother was hit in the head by a black woman sitting behind us, who felt a need to stand up and do a “praise the Lord” church dance when her son’s name was called. We’re talking entire families whooping, hollering, yelling, dancing, praising....for minute after minute. Once the name announcements get going, you have multiple families doing this at one time, because they feel a need to act like fools for about 5 minutes after their graduate’s name is called.
It’s rude, it’s inconsiderate, and it’s obnoxious. I don’t care if blacks are “more expressive”. They need to stop this crap.
