If you’ve read White Women, Get Ready, you already understand one of Amanda K. Gross’s core truths:Whiteness, particularly white womanhood, relies on the fantasy of endless redemption.It’s baked into Post-Traumatic Mistress Syndrome:the deep, unexamined belief that white women must always be seen as good, pure, innocent, misunderstood, or redeemable, no matter the harm inflicted.And this belief doesn’t live in isolation.It is a feature, not a bug, of the myth of white supremacy.

Which brings us to MTG.White media is already bending over backwards to cast her as “self-reflective,” “evolving,” or “finally taking responsibility.”But let’s be absolutely clear:“Redemption” is a weapon of the myth of white supremacy.It’s used to demand that others, especially Black people, non-white people, and anyone targeted by her violence, perform forgiveness so that whiteness can return to its preferred roles: hero or victim.Never the villain.

Redemption maintains the myth.Redemption protects power.Redemption ensures whiteness doesn’t have to change and everyone else just has to “accept” the apology and keep moving.But apologizing is not a path to redemption.It isn’t even a path to forgiveness.Apology and amends are processes of repairing harm, not erasing it.Not escaping consequences.Not rewriting your character arc.

MTG did not “apologize” because she has shed the beliefs that animated her cruelty.She apologized because she finally tasted the violence she has spent years unleashing on others and, according to the myth she’s been groomed to obey, she believes she should never experience that violence herself.In her mind, and in the mind of many who benefit from the myth, an apology is supposed to reset the narrative.

It’s supposed to place her back into the center, back into innocence, back into the protection whiteness guarantees.White women have perfected this choreography because systems, institutions, and policies continue rewarding it.But here’s the truth that Gross names and that too many still refuse to confront:If your apology does not come with a full-throated denunciation of the myth that shaped your violence:You are not safe.You are not accountable.You are not changed.

You are simply repositioning yourself for continued dominance.And anyone running to embrace her, or worse, demanding others do, is signaling that they are not committed to collective liberation, only to the preservation of whiteness.Because collective liberation requires more than emotional displays.It requires material change.It requires consequences.It requires white people to interrupt their own mythology and confront the ways they weaponize redemption to maintain supremacy.

If MTG wants to be different, she can start by dismantling the very myth she still depends on for protection.Until then, she’s not transformed.She’s just uncomfortable.And discomfort is not liberation work…it’s the beginning of the bill coming due.#MythOfWhiteSupremacy #LifeBeyondTheSupremacyMyth #ProfitWithoutOppression #PWOCommunity #KimCrayton
