Certain attitudes and actions are considered "acceptable" among many Blacks, including a little more outward vocal and physical expressiveness, which is sometimes misinterpreted as being too loud or even violent by Whites.

Not misinterpreted at all - Correctly interpreted as disruptive behavior in a classroom.

The problem is that too many times disruptive behavior from a White student is overlooked while the same disruptive behavior in a Black student is punished. That's the real double standard I'm referring to.
