I'm white. I'm the child of anti-apartheid activist who fled from South Africa. I grew up seeing my parents angry. I remember them listening to the radio and watching the television, angry. When their friends came over, they would all get angry together. That kind of anger leaks. It becomes your background, your emotional norm. It creeps into other emotions. It isn't a healthy environment in which to have a relationship or raise a child. It's certainly not a healthy environment in which to learn what it is to be male.
Nowadays I'm an antifascist activist. I'm angry. I go to bed angry and when I wake up I read Mastodon and the news and I get angry. I'm aware it affects my relationships and my physical and mental health. And yet, what choice do I have? As you point out, I can't not be angry about this.
