It should be the lubricant that allows us to keep going, to stay connected, to remain human while we challenge what is harming us. Not the sedative that helps us tolerate what should never be tolerated.

The myth thrives when people are convinced that their only work is internal.

Because as long as you are fixing yourself, you are not challenging what is breaking you.

And the systems remain intact.

that peace is not found by pretending the fire isn’t burning, but by learning how to move through it without being consumed.

There is nothing wrong with positivity.
There is nothing wrong with joy.
There is nothing wrong with protecting your peace.

But when positivity becomes a tool to silence opposition to state-sanctioned harm, it stops being healing and starts being compliance.

Positivity as resistance should make rebellion easier, not replace it.

accountability, and alignment with their values.

Personal accountability was never meant to replace collective responsibility.

But now, questioning authority is often framed as negativity.

As being “too angry.”

As being “too much.”

As failing to rise above.

And that framing conveniently ignores the wisdom of those who have lived their entire lives navigating, surviving, and even finding joy despite the status quo. The people who know, from experience,

It convinces people that if they are suffering, struggling, overwhelmed, afraid, or angry, the issue is their inability to regulate their emotions rather than the fact that they are living under structures that were never designed for their safety or dignity in the first place.

It turns very real political, economic, and social violence into a personal growth opportunity.

And in doing so, it bastardizes spiritual practices that were originally meant to help people cultivate awareness,

We’re told to focus on what we can control.
To protect our peace.
To choose positivity as an act of resistance.

But rarely are we asked to question what, exactly, that posture protects.

Because when collective harm is redirected into individual responsibility, the systems, institutions, and policies causing the harm are shielded from direct challenge.

This is how the myth of white supremacy sustains itself without ever having to name itself.

We are living in a moment where collective harm is being repackaged as individual failure.

Where the very real impact of systems, institutions, and policies designed to exclude, exploit, and dehumanize gets reframed as a mindset problem. A resilience problem. A positivity problem. A personal responsibility problem.

And it’s happening with the language of spirituality. With the aesthetics of healing. With the tone of encouragement.

And those harms will be justified in the name of preserving the myth.

Because the pattern of violence required to maintain it has no limits.

It will not change.

The question now is…will you?

Far too many of you spent time picking apart the Harris campaign instead of doing what marginalized communities have always had to practice: harm reduction.

Was she perfect? No. No candidate is.

But too many of you could not bring yourselves to stand behind a more-than-qualified Black woman even when the alternative was so clearly this.

This is not about shame.
This is not about weaponizing guilt.

This is a reality check.

More of you will be harmed.
Some of you will die.

I was challenged at every turn.

You didn’t believe you could be targeted. Which, more than anything, says how little most white people know history.

The myth does not protect “goodness.”

It protects power. And it will turn on anyone it perceives as a threat, real or imagined.

I take no joy in watching this unfold.

None.

But I do hope it forces some of you to recognize that you are out of your depth.

“Good white folx,” it’s now at your door.

The hate.
The coverups.
The justifications meant to strip you of dignity and humanity.

It’s ugly. It’s harsh. It’s violent.

But it has always been this way.

For years, I’ve said something many of you did not want to hear: that “good white folx” would eventually find themselves harmed by the very systems, institutions, and policies rooted in the myth of white supremacy that you believed protected you by default.
