Why is Babalú Ayé angry with Teresa in the novel, African Passions?

Babalú Ayé is angry because Teresa has summoned him last.

He accuses Teresa of using her race to get into top colleges and into top law firms. When he gets angry with Teresa, he spills sesame seeds on the kitchen floor, so that she will get gangrene. Babalú is one of the gods responsible for pushing Teresa's cat out of the window.
