Why are black people so...

I think I graduated with around 300 kids. As I recall, they just called off the names (with almost no pause in between) and it was one long, continuous roar. I think the parents could still hear because they used a microphone.

My take on it is, I don't give a fuck. I like the idea of being able to cheer the kids but if there was a request to be silent, I wouldn't be the one making a spectacle out of myself cheering. I think some people think it should be a solemn event but I agree with Dick that for the kids, it's probably more fun to have it be more celebratory.
