ABSTRACT

The following week I met with my employer to talk about the continuing racism I was experiencing at work. The meeting was unproductive and left me feeling furious. That evening I was supposed to facilitate my group. I decided to rest for a few minutes but fell asleep, waking up at 4.30 p.m. just as the group was ending. I panicked because it was too late to contact the group. I wondered what this was about. I became aware of how angry I had been about being in a predominately White workplace and feeling unappreciated and racially discriminated against. My group members were all White, so did I resent them for being White? Was I failing to keep my anger with one White group separate from the other White group? Was that my unconscious retaliation?
