"GETTING OFF THE HOOK"

(from Johnson’s “Getting Off the Hook: Denial and Resistance”, pg. 124)
- “I’m like a piece of wood floating with the current” (Johnson 124).
- To live in illusion and denial; to choose whether to be involved in the life of our society and the consequences it produces.
- To fully live in the world as it really is.
- Puts privileged groups in a tight little circle and cuts them off from everyone else; can't get close to others without causing trouble that surrounds privilege and oppression
