Blacks show higher self-esteem than Whites, contradicting Allport

Evidence

Indeed, based on several studies that support the positive self-esteem of Blacks, Twenge and Crocker (2002) provided a comprehensive meta-analysis that compellingly makes the opposite case. They found that Blacks, on average, have higher self-esteem than Whites, who in turn have higher self-esteem than Asians, American Indians, and Hispanics. Moreover, the Black–White self-esteem gap has actually increased since 1980. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 1064 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
