Guest lecturer at Yale fantasizes about shooting white people in the head

[laughing dog]

No.

You do realize that these boards only investigate after complaints. It is not as if these boards have nothing to do - they act on complaints.

Yes, but I'm not a patient of Khilanani. If I were, though, I think I would indeed complain. I think it would be neglectful for a psychiatrist to fail to inform me, before she begins treating me, that she believes me to be psychopathic by reason of my race, that she is enraged by me as a white person, that her working model of therapy is that my mental problems have their origin in my whiteness, and that she has a history of violent fantasies of murdering white people and becoming a folk hero for doing so.

Obviously your mileage may vary.

Or maybe she was using emotional rhetoric to make a point. A technique with which you are very familiar.

A disturbed individual;

A New York-based psychiatrist who was invited by Yale University to give a talk titled Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind told the audience that she had fantasized about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any white person' who got in her way. Dr Aruna Khilanani, who runs her own practice in Manhattan, delivered the talk virtually to medical students and faculty back in April after being invited by Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center. “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f**king favor,' Khilanani said during the talk.

I wonder if Khilanani will face any consequences or will she be allowed to carry on like nothing happened. I hope she has the conviction to stand by what she said.

Based on your snippet, I don't see what the problem is?

You could read the entire thing and perhaps then you would see a problem.

Having fantasies and acting on them is a world apart. If this is a psychiatrist speaking it is entirely appropriate to be open and honest about every aspect of her inner life. I too have homicidal thoughts sometimes about people. Especially those who cut the line in the grocery shop.

Plenty of people who have these fantasies have actually acted them out. But really, her fantasies are only a small part of a larger picture.

But that said, she does look and sound like the standard woke speaker, pandering to her crowd. But I have no problem with them.

She's not woke, she's unhinged, bonkers and racist.

If we try to shame the wokes into silence we're no better than them.

I agree with you but I never said anything about shaming her.

Is this going to be enough for people to finally realize that blacks can be racist, that racism is bad no matter what race does it and that CRT is nothing but anti-white racism?

Critical Race Theory is nothing but an academic framework for understanding systemic racism left in our legal system. But, like the other great lie of the far-right that Trump won the 2020 election, "CRT is nothing but anti-white racism" is a lie. Instead, CRT assumes that the laws of the US were the embodiment of racism for hundreds of years and seeks to find its vestiges in the laws left today. They are trying to root out systemic racism, not the character flaw of personal racism.

Racism is being used today, as it has always been used, to divide the working class against itself to allow the upper-class power they wouldn't have otherwise. This is a very successful strategy judging by this and all of the other white male grievance threads we are subjected to daily.

The basis of the white genocide or the white male replacement conspiracy theory is the lie that the economy is fixed in size, that for one to advance, another has to be disadvantaged. This is blatantly false; capitalistic economies can grow, most economists would say that capitalistic economies have to grow.

The question that you should be concerned with is why this age-old lie has fooled you, and what does that tell you that you should do going forward?

You obviously don't understand CRT.

You obviously don't understand context is important. Is the statement a matter of opinion of the instructor or a subject for conversation. That you went straight to statement of opinion tells more about you than you think.

The handwriting is different in the red and blue markers. It is quite possible the person believes this, scribbled it up there and derailed what was being discussed to push her own agenda. And that one person's beliefs doesn't extrapolate to CRT by default.

Either Khilanani has those feelings and theories or she lied about them. I doubt it's the latter, as she has since doubled and tripled down.

Obviously you mileage did vary, but I'm not surprised you would attempt to equate her 'rhetorical' behaviour with mine. The difference is, I've never fantasised about killing anybody by reason of their race (or killing anyone for any reason, frankly) and I don't minister to the mental needs of people I am enraged by.

Nearly all humans are usually rational (e.g., if I want to get some bread and I have none at home, I go get it at the supermarket, and a gazillion daily things.), but not all of the times. In particular, usually their religion/ideology gets in the way of rational thinking. Most of the people where we live believe that Jesus walked on water, raised the dead and resurrected. Nonsensical beliefs are ubiquitous.

Which is consistent with emotional rhetoric, not reason.

I am not surprised you would spout irrelevancies/ miss the point of using emotional rhetoric to make one's point.

The rhetoric isn't the problem. Her actual feelings and clinical assumptions are the problem, whether she had expressed them or not. In fact, I am glad she expressed them. Now her patients are in a more informed position about the kind of person Khilanani is and are more informed about the approach she will take to minister to their mental health. I very much doubt that before this lecture, she told white clients she was enraged by white people and had fantasies of killing any white person who got in her way and that she had eliminated 99% of the white people in her personal life.

She probably believes that because white men don't seem to want to date her. Um, yeah...sure lady, racism...that's the reason.

I like the "PayPal Me" note she posted to the (mostly) white audience. You gotta have epic amounts of white guilt to want to send her even one dime.

Oops. I forgot about the modern times we live in nowadays. Remind me, do I call her this human "they" or "xir"? Or something else?

Based on your snippet, I don't see what the problem is?

You could read the entire thing and perhaps then you would see a problem.

Ok, so I did. And I look her up and read about her. She seems like a loony. But she is a psychology lecturer.

Having fantasies and acting on them is a world apart. If this is a psychiatrist speaking it is entirely appropriate to be open and honest about every aspect of her inner life. I too have homicidal thoughts sometimes about people. Especially those who cut the line in the grocery shop.

Plenty of people who have these fantasies have actually acted them out. But really, her fantasies are only a small part of a larger picture.

But she's still a psychology lecturer. It's entirely appropriate for her to be 100% transparent with all the crazy shit that goes on in her head. I'm pretty sure having these kinds of fantasies is completely normal. I've personally had the most godawful morally depraved fantasies. It's just fantasies.

If we demand from our psychology lecturers to present us a carefully manicured version of their mental interiors, (IN PSYCHOLOGY LECTURES) how the fuck are we supposed to learn anything new about human psychology?

It wasn't like she spammed this out over social media. Other people did that. She just held her lecture.

I support her right to say this 100%. I don't have a problem with people publicly saying offensive things. In this political climate it's more important than ever to defend anybody daring to be edgy.

But that said, she does look and sound like the standard woke speaker, pandering to her crowd. But I have no problem with them.

She's not woke, she's unhinged, bonkers and racist.

Woke is inherently racist. Woke teaches us that people of colour of weak and sensitive and are unable to cope on their own, and need babying from superior whites in order to succeed in life. If you take their bullshit to it's logical conclusion woke is extremely racist. It's racist and totalitarian. It's a horrendous ideology.

The implicit goal of woke is to perpetuate white on black racism to ensure that blacks will always be victims and will never have to take any responsibility in life, nor grow up. There's some great Martin Luther King Jr quotes on this, where he attacks exactly this streak in the 60'ies civil rights movement.

She is not a psychology lecturer. She has a medical degree and is a board-certified psychiatrist. Her clinical practise is one-on-one psychotherapy with clients.

But she's still a psychology lecturer.

She is a practising psychiatrist. She is not a lecturer or academic. Yale invited her to do a one-off guest lecture.

If we demand from our psychology lecturers to present us a carefully manicured version of their mental interiors, (IN PSYCHOLOGY LECTURES) how the fuck are we supposed to learn anything new about human psychology?

She is not a psychology lecturer. She is seeing clients as a psychiatrist.

An academic saying unhinged shit in public lectures is not harming anybody (unless the academic questions any aspect of transgender ideology, in which case that person is harming trans people and is making students and staff unsafe.)

But Khilanani is different. I don't see a psychiatrist, but if my GP told me she had fantasies of killing white people, thought all white people were psychopathic, that my mental problems are a result of my white colonial guilt denial, and that she is enraged by white people and has cut 99% of them from her life, I'd withdraw myself as a patient and suggest she should not be assigned white patients.

So she's not a psychology lecturer. She's a psychology lecturer. Got it.

She is a practising psychiatrist. She is not a lecturer or academic. Yale invited her to do a one-off guest lecture.

I did not know that psychiatrists weren't academics. I learn so many things from you. Who knew that lecturers invited to hold a lecture wasn't a lecturer. Wow.

Special pleading. She's both an academic and lecturer. Her getting invited by Yale to hold a lecture makes her a lecturer. A guest lecturer is still a lecturer.

FYI, "psychologist" isn't a protected academic title. "Psychiatrist" is.
