180406, but wouldn't it be better for someone to say or write

"I feel afraid of black people right now because ______" and actually confront the feeling than just internalize it?
I'm not saying it's a good conclusion to come to but CT seems to be approaching this with almost a contempt for that feeling while still acknowledging the feelings exist and he's noticing them in himself.
It just seems more productive to bring your reactionary emotions and fears into the light to address them than internalizing them.
Maybe that's naive.
