Using the conflict over Maunakea, this paper discusses ways in which astronomy has benefited from settler colonialism/white supremacist patriarchy, and the impact that has on communities that do not benefit from it. We advocate for astronomers to reject these benefits going forward, and we make 10 specific suggestions that will advance this effort.
