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.

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.

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.

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.

This is the difference between:
Hoping you “don’t get called out,” and becoming someone who calls yourself in, again and again.
