Racism, sexism and all the various other “hate these people” isms and phobias are arguably methods for expressing and rationalizing anger. And they’re bad. But what’s a good way?

This is a question that should be asked and learned in school. Maybe then we wouldn’t have so many broken people.
Ever notice how no schools have any emotional intelligence lessons whatsoever?
It’s all focused on learning shit for work. Not much for handling life issues, that happens to everyone, all the time.
I don’t remember it being a thing when I was a kid but both my kids have had classes that teach these things.
I also remember I was having issues with a kid in school and the school counselor sat us down and talked to us about anger and emotions, etc. I think we had a short daily session for a few weeks. This was in the 90s.
The American education is state funded daycare with forced learning about dry topics, so we don’t even remember 90% of what we learned. People talk about wishing they learned about taxes and resumes etc in school. Those were Freshman and Sophomore level electives for us in a small town in the early 00s.
Yeah I think we had it also, but today’s kids don’t seem to have it anymore…
Dunno where you live. Mine both did in grade school.
