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.

And the myth of white male supremacy ensures it will always be wielded as proof of “failure” when marginalized folx refuse to erase themselves for the comfort of whiteness.

This isn’t shocking.

It’s the same story on repeat.

What’s changing is that fewer of us are willing to let past “heroes” of DEI get away with it anymore.

The call for civility has always been a silencing tactic.

A way to delegitimize the righteous anger of those harmed by the myth of white supremacy, while ensuring that whiteness itself remains unchallenged and unaccountable.

Since the behavior of whiteness has always been deemed civil by default, then the very premise of civility as a standard is illegitimate.

The real work is not in tone, but in truth.

And truth will always sound disruptive to the ears of power.

And it’s always non-white folx who have to work harder, follow all the rules, and still be told we don’t belong.

By rejecting higher ed as “brainwashing,” white families not only insulated their children from exposure to difference, but also weaponized that rejection to delegitimize the hard-earned achievements of those who relied on education for survival.

The myth of white supremacy ensures that even ignorance is rewarded.

True solidarity requires you to resist the urge to police Black grief, Black rage, and Black relief. If you find yourself more disturbed by someone’s refusal to mourn than by the harm that necessitated that refusal, it is past time to interrogate where your loyalties actually lie.

Because here’s the reality, if your “allyship” only extends to the moments that keep you comfortable, it is not “allyship” at all. It’s performance. And performance will never dismantle the myth of white supremacy.

The truth is this: the myth of white supremacy has always been socialism in disguise. Not the kind rooted in fairness or justice, but one that reserves collective wealth, protections, and opportunity for whiteness alone.

The question is: will we keep letting this myth rewrite history, or will we finally acknowledge that the so-called “meritocracy” was never built without massive public investment?

It’s also how you shift from being passively “not all white people” to actively antiracist.

This isn’t a one-time realization. It’s a lifelong habit. And it’s one I expect from anyone serious about dismantling white supremacy, especially those who’ve been protected by it most.

Join the Profit Without Oppression Community, where we practice, learn, and stay accountable together.

If we are serious about equity, justice, and liberation, we must stop pretending that whiteness is a neutral, earned identity.

It’s a manufactured system of advantage. And until we name it for what it is, we cannot dismantle it.

Question for reflection: Share an example of someone whose opportunity was sacrificed for the stories of “success” we celebrate?

While my community worked to find ways to engage with systems, institutions, and policies that were never designed to include us, white folx often, in greater numbers than I ever imagined, chose to double down on maintaining their unearned power and privilege by escalating the violence of white supremacy on themselves.

About rejecting the isolating norms of whiteness that tell you to compete instead of connect, to hoard instead of share, to self-protect instead of co-create.

Imagine if your worth wasn’t measured by proximity to whiteness. Imagine if the weight of individualism was replaced with a living, breathing network of mutual care. Imagine the relief, the possibility, the liberation.

Join me inside the PWO Community where we take questions like these and unpack them together, away from the performance of social media, in a space designed for vulnerability, self-reflection, and growth.

It’s time to approach this work with eyes wide open and with the courage to face not just what you’ve done, but what has been done to you.

And if you’re serious about preparing for a world where white supremacy doesn’t dictate your values, behavior, or legacy, you’re going to need the stamina to sit in the tension and stay in the work.

Two paths. One practice.
➡️ Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America
➡️ White Women, Get Ready by Amanda K. Gross

📅 Starting August 9

🔗 Link in bio.

➡️ White Women, Get Ready is for those of you who are ready to confront the internalized patterns that uphold supremacy under the guise of care, politeness, or “good intentions.”

➡️Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America is for those of you who want to understand how entitlement, myth-making, and unearned power harm us all and what we can do differently.

This is not performance. This is practice.

It requires intention, time, and relationship. It doesn’t come from follows, retweets, or connection requests. It comes from showing up, again and again.

We need spaces that support depth, not just scale. We need connection rooted in truth, not trend.

Let’s stop outsourcing community to platforms designed to keep us disconnected. Let’s reclaim it, co-create it, and nurture it like the lifeline it is.

📣 Facilitated Conversations with Kim Crayton begin August 9. Links in bio.

This is not a book club. This is preparation for a different future.

Two paths:
→ White Women, Get Ready
→ Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

These are not safe spaces for your comfort. They are DESIGNED for you to develop the knowledge and skills needed for you to challenge white supremacy.
