    In African-American culture it is considered disrespectful to look directly into the eyes of a person who is either older or in a position of authority. As a child I was always taught to lower my eyes when my parents or grandparents spoke to me. On the flip side, when an African American wants to show contempt or to challenge someone’s authority, we’ll often stare directly at the person.
