Sure he is. 

page 230-231

When Eliot X and the Brothers from BAAD show up, after being invited in
by PR3's Exterior Bureau, Rex is extremely frustrated because he wants
to talk about and get on with the Revolution. 

"They may have been the first black people ever to set foot in Trasero
county, certainly the first that many of the PR3 inhabitants had ever
seen, so that a good deal of rudimentary history had to be gone over 
before the discussion even caught up with the present day. At this
ground on, Rex grew impatient--he wanted to talk revolution. But the
Brothers from BAAD seemed content just to play Trash The Xanthcroid with
what, given this crowd, was some pretty easy shots."  VL.230.28-35

Notice that during the argument between Rex and Eliot X, Rex is
screaming, pleading, tears on his face. 

He's frustrated with/by Eliot X and the People.
