During the period of slavery and the Jim Crow era in the US Blacks had to refer to Whites as Mr. or Ma'am, Mistress, Master etc. Blacks were not permitted to look directly into a White persons face or to stare as that was considered rude or threatening. Blacks had to enter the back door of hotels, sit in the back of busses and give up their seats to whites. In many places, they could not use the same public toilets or water fountains.
