[J. McCants]

The reason some blacks seem to offer less courteous service to other blacks may stem more from their attitudes toward whites and themselves than other blacks. Some blacks have been socialized to treat whites with higher levels of respect and authority than themselves and their own. Society teaches us in several places, such as our schools, that we are inferior to whites. Check the textbooks and the TV commercials. It’s not hard to get. If you do not have a strong support system to counter these lessons, you end up honoring and/or loving whites more than yourself. This can lead to self-hatred and low self-esteem. When you see another black face, you see yourself and end up expressing your feelings for yourself toward these persons.
