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.

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 those patterns don’t disappear because you’re a “good person.”
In fact, they often hide behind your goodness.

That’s why we’re asking, what are “good white folx” actually doing now?

Are they practicing liberation or just protecting their image?

This is where the work begins, not in intention, but in impact.

In Facilitated Conversations with Kim Crayton, we move past guilt and into growth. This isn’t performance, it’s preparation.
