Hi. My name is Gwen. I know this is an old post, but people are still reading it, and I think this is a really important question that was asked. Full disclosure....I am a white, non-binary queer person. And I agree, white people are ignorant, in general, about the experiences of people outside of their race. Also, white people can become defensive about that because they don't always see what people outside of their race are going through, because it is not on their radar. They don't see what other people are experiencing every day. And some people don't want to see it. And that really isn't okay.....we really have no excuse for not trying to understand and change things. When there are experiences of trauma because of oppression, it is an adaptive response to be angry and to seek to change things. What I hear the person saying that posted this is that she wants to know what to do with the anger that she feels, and maybe that it isn't always safe to express it. And I agree, it isn't always safe, because people....white people especially, may not get it. So, taking a stab at this (though obviously I do not have the insider perspective), I would say, do not squelch the anger, but look for people to express the anger with that are safe, who also have firsthand experience with what you are experiencing. And coming on here in this community is one way to do that. Maybe there are other communities as well, locally, to reach out to? There will be people who will be able to advise you as to when and how to express what you are feeling and how and when to respond to white ignorance and racism.
