pressures on the nonwhite child.

"one of the basic problems any Black child has to deal with as he grows up is authority. first, there's the big white world that forces a white god and white jesus on him and has him worshipping somebody that doesn't even look like him. there's that big white world telling him what's right and what's wrong and how to do and how not to do and all of it is designed to keep him oppressed, to keep him down. and all of that is reinforced by negro america, which is a mirror of the big white world and does the white world's job inside the Black community. negro america becomes the official policeman for white america. you grow up and you're taught not to talk back to white people, not to look at white women, to be respectful, to speak so-called correct english, to grease and straighten your hair, to scrub your skin as white as you can."
