Intra-racial Racism Today?

There is a lot of intra race tension in the novel. The narration highlights conflicts among people of that time that span skin color, gender, geography, education, and a number of other factors. The cook, despite being southern and not educated, is contemptuous towards all the stereotypical preferences of black people to the point that he is repulsed by foods. Ray "loathes every soul in that great barrack-room, except Jake" [153]. Ray and the Cook express a strong disconnection from other black people. Susy is arguably the same in that she does not want a dark man and has conceptions of what darker people are like, despite being one. Even the explanation of Strawberry Lips and how Jake is paternally protective of Ray, in contrast to how he feels about his other friends, demonstrate simulated class dynamics based on internalized prejudices. This reminded me of Gramsci's theories which suggest that the oppressed begin to internalize the beliefs of their oppressors and enforce the rules and roles there oppressor create because they start to believe that those rules are their own. The characters are all frustrated by the oppression and the racism they experience and instead of being angry towards the oppressors they begin to resent other black people and impose standards as they justify their oppression (much like Foucault's Pedagogy). The idea of this self-disciplining and prejudices within the black community is still present today. For example, Gabby Douglas received a lot of flack for her hair (of all things) during the Olympics. Can you think of other examples of how intra-race conflict that is created because of oppressed groups internalizing their oppression?
