Sometimes we develop tendencies that we don't know that we have. My career has centered around giving instructions to people, it looks like my voice had become "trained" for that. I never realized how I talk until one day a guy asked me where something was in the grocery store where I shop. I pointed out where the stuff was and then was a little surprised when the guy just stood there. It turns out that he had just left a long stint in the military and I sounded like one of his officers. A Black person that is too frequently dismissed by White peoples may feel an internal need to turn that back, so he or she meets a White person that is on his or her turf and can't resist acting like an asshole.
