(28,784 posts)I didn't know you knew him. He speaks his mind as he pleases, whenever I've seen him, but maybe you know him better than I do. He's an atheist libertarian, so we fight about politics all the time.
He was involved in student protests when he was in college. He's not afraid to show his anger, at least based upon things that he experienced when he was younger.
But, again, maybe you know him better than I do.
I was also taught to never show my anger because I'm female and it's not "becoming" for a female to speak out about this or that. I didn't pay attention to that warning, either, but all the other female siblings in my family did.
eta: but, for curiosity's sake - I just sent him a message on fb to ask if he would never show his anger to a white person. He's never been afraid to tell me his truths in the past, so I would assume he would tell me the truth now, too. But maybe I'm naive.
