This conversation about anger with @HolzmanTweed @Blackamazon & @redlightvoices had me pondering perception of anger.
@Blackamazon I think it's really interesting how "concern for your image" becomes a reason to sweep you under the rug.

@Blackamazon Like, there's the idea that if you're black and angry that will be used to reinforce black-people-are-dangerous meme... -
@Blackamazon ...so gatekeepers wind up with the story that they're keeping you out of the public square for your own good. -
@chaosprime but sometimes you want to be dangerous because being dangerous means being protective ! -
@Blackamazon Yeah, definitely. The tactics of civil rights movements seem to center around packaging oppressed as harmless, though. -
@chaosprime well it also was gamesmanship . It was strategy like we're sensible but THEM DUDES...... -
@Blackamazon Yeah. Mass sympathies tend against whoever's seen as deploying violence. Though I dunno if the system hasn't overcome that.
