When you refuse to see how you perpetuate the myth of white supremacy, in your workplaces, your relationships, your leadership, your silence, you are still participating.

You’re still asserting whiteness as the default.

White folx often ask: “What can I do?”

Stop pretending you don’t know.

Stop centering how uncomfortable it makes you feel to name your complicity.

And stop expecting Black and brown people to guide you through the reckoning that you’ve spent your entire life avoiding.

This is what makes the myth so dangerous and enduring.

It convinces white folx that collective whiteness is worth more than individual wellness.

It whispers that power is more valuable than protection.

That dominance is safer than care.

But here’s the truth, the only ones benefitting from your loyalty to the myth are those who profit from your suffering…politically, economically, and socially.

That’s not irony.

That’s indoctrination.

White liberals love to distance themselves from conservatives, as if complicity requires a MAGA hat.

But history keeps proving that when whiteness feels threatened, even the self-proclaimed “good ones” will find a way to return to the safety of supremacy.

It’s not new.
It’s not shocking.

It’s just the latest chapter in a centuries-old story…the myth of white supremacy doesn’t need loyalty, it only needs convenience.

I’m done with it.

I don’t care about your regret.

I care about the people who never had the luxury of pretending they didn’t know better.

I care about those who’ve been screaming the truth for decades…ignored, dismissed, and gaslit while you built empires on their labor and ideas.

White male mediocrity is not insight.

Your realization is not bravery.

And it’s still rooted in the same violence that got us here.

Your faith that being “a white good person” and not like them, is enough.

Whiteness was built to function without your consent.

It’s the operating system you were born into.

One that rewards compliance and punishes disruption.

It scripts your behavior, shapes your institutions, and trains you to see its outcomes as “normal.”

So when I ask, how do you feel knowing that whiteness requires your complicity, I’m really asking…what are you willing to do now that you know?

So as you hold your signs and chant for “No Kings,” remember, you can’t dismantle monarchy while worshiping the myth of white male saviors. You can’t demand liberation while centering comfort. You can’t imagine a new world while refusing to confront the ways you benefit from the old one.

The real protest begins when you turn that same energy inward. When you divest from the systems, institutions, and policies that make “kings” possible in the first place.

It requires courage to ask hard questions, take accountability, and choose solidarity over comfort.

Antiracism isn’t about perfection…it’s about direction.

It’s about committing, again and again, to move away from the lie of supremacy and toward shared humanity, equity, and justice.

The first step is simply this: to see whiteness clearly, and refuse to believe the myth it was built on.
