Afraid of being afraid (or of admitting it to others)

You keep telling me I have an anger management problem, I am going to kick your ass real good.

And people are afraid, too.  Too afraid to be afraid (or say that they are) because they'll be stigmatized as "racist."

It's not just white people that are "the problem."  African-Americans are part of the problem, too.
