Like seriously and I’m not even intending to be racist (though some smarmy asshole will for sure interpret it that way for an unironic purpose).

I live in an apartment, top floor and I’m virtually surrounded by black tenants. To my left, I’ve got a black tenant that occasionally will slam things or knock on walls or shuffle things to where it can be heard.

To my right, I’ve got another who does something similarly, but loves slamming their door when leaving and entering their apartment.

Across the hallway from me is a literal family of black people, one mother who talks loudly and her children is obnoxiously loud with running around the hallway, screeching, loudly arguing for everyone to hear.

Then below me, is another who has actually threatened me once because I got tired of his music blaring. But you can guess right, he sometimes likes to blare his damn bass-assisted music and claims he ‘can’t hear’ it.

Like, is it really that challenging for these people to like, be a bit sophisticated and respectful to realize that they aren’t the only living things in this building?

    Notice through all of this you never call out the landlord or building for being shoddy or it’s poor sound proofing.

    Not one of these things was related to race, but you went out of your way to make it about race. White people can’t be loud and annoying? Black people can’t be quiet and respectable? Get out of here with your racist undertones. Go do some soul searching and figure out why you actually don’t like them, then think about that for a while.
