Quotes of the Past....
Therefore if you insist upon fighting to protect me, or "our" country, let it be
understood, soberly and rationally between us, that you are fighting to gratify
a sex instinct which I cannot share; to procure benefits which I have not shared
and probably will not share; but not to gratify my instincts or protect myself
or my country. For...in fact, as a woman, I have no country...
--Virginia Woolf
In a racist society a white person cannot feel "whole". Only a few of our people are
killers, but we are dissemblers, dehumanizers, averters of eyes, enforcers of a rift
in our psyches, and all because we're wearing the hood -- to hide our guilt,
our past, and our helplessness in the face of the past. We white people don't want to
feel guilty, of course. And guilt isn't useful. But, too often, we compensate by
feeling nothing. We can at least begin to tell the truth about the past.
-- C. Carr
