We don't have any black people in Colorado, and if we did, they'd all be in Denver, so this isn't really a big deal out here, but back in Connecticut, there's plenty of black people, plenty of movie theaters, plenty of cellphones, and plenty examples of them all working in tandem to provide me and my friends with something to mock. I believe I've actually seen black people call other black people in the same theater.

Once you get past the bizzare file naming convention this online publication uses, you may note the interesting contrast between these two recountings of the same event.
“If they were being rude or disrupting, I would've turned around and said something. But they weren't. KC is a great kid.”
KC is a great kid. Apparently this is some sort of 'hip hop lingo,' like when they say something is 'stupid' to mean it's 'good,' because here's a quote from the second link: “Tolson, 25, was convicted of petty theft and resisting arrest in Hillsborough County in 1999, both misdemeanors. He also has a juvenile record that includes convictions for assault on a school employee in 1996, and grand theft and battery on a law enforcement officer in 1995.” So, I guess in the black community, 'great kid' means 'never actually been convicted of murder.' Note also that there's resisting arrest, and battery on a law enforcement officer in there.
If that wasn't enough, “Douglas, a 14-year veteran of the police department, has no formal disciplinary actions in his personnel file.”
Here's my message to KC Tolson: Dude. You don't have a neck. If I were a cop, I'd consider somebody not having a neck as grounds to mace them the very second they raised their voice, because as a neck having person, I know just how fragile it can be, and conversely how vulnerable I am to physical assault from the neckless population. Also, your Ricky Williams hairstyle is gay as hell. Football players should not have big masses of hair. It was gay as hell when Ricky was a dominating power rusher, and now it's double gay, since he proved to be a total flake and dipshit. Cut your hair, cut the victim act, stop trying to punch cops, stop shooting 'roids. Thanks.
