Quote by Henry Wuorila-Stenberg

“Olin lyhyen ajan sisällä romahtanut kaksi kertaa. Siinä umpikujassa, niin nurkkaan ajautuneena, ei muuta ulospääsyä ollut. Myöhemmin elämäni varrella opin, että romahdus ei ole lainkaan huono vaihtoehto vaan minulle useimmiten ainoa tie eteenpäin, koska en koskaan oppinut ratkaisemaan juuri mitään joutumatta ensin umpikujaan.”

A significant dimension of who one is in the world, one's Whiteness, remains uninvestigated and perceptions of daily experience are routinely distorted. Privilege goes unnoticed, and all but the most blatant acts of racial bigotry are ignored. Not noticing requires energy.”

“A white police officer had entered a black women's home without a warrant, searching for a suspect. When she protested, he beat and arrested her, dragging her from her home though she wasn't fully dressed. When a black soldier saw this and tried to intervene to defend the woman, the white policeman pistol-whipped the black soldier, seriously injuring him. The men of the beaten soldier's regiment, learning no consequences would befall the white policeman, felt abandoned by white police and army officials. They saw the abuse as a last straw in a long string of injustices. So the marched into the city. Soldiers and civilians died in the shooting that followed”
