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

[Trausti]

But why let facts get in the way of rational thought?

Good point! "We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility" can be easily taken out of context!

Thank you fir proving my point. You rail against a quote taken out of context and refuse to look at the complete context because it might educate you. Pretty ironic coming from someone whining about the secular religious views of others,

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! How do you take that out of context? You gotta be shitting me, Pyle! Educate me on what? That she hates White people? Lg, are you one of the flagellants of the new religion?

Yeah, figured you'd like her open racism.

What open racism?

I went to that page and saw a guy making a heart shape in the snow. I just went back again and saw a shout out to people in Covid crisis, a Give to India thing, someone painting shoes, someone cooking something (black beans?), a red heart shaped mini cake, and some kind of water feature swing set.

What did you see?

ETA: Ah, I think I found the problem. Are you objecting to her making fun of people who refuse to acknowledge the Hinduism inherent in the practice of Yoga? Like, she's prejudiced against people who say they're "spiritual but not religious" and therefore she's a racist?

It's funny that there are people in the thread doing exactly what she was talking about in the speech.

Sidebar: why are we still taking Bari Weiss seriously?

 

[Metaphor]

No: she is saying that white people's problems are because of their guilt from perpetrating past and present racism and "colonialism".

Can you provide the minute mark when she says that? I'd like to discuss it in detail but first I want to transcribe her words.

This is a disgusting perspective. When my father and brother died, I was not suffering grief because of racism or anything. I was suffering from the fact of their deaths.

I didn't hear her say that racism is the only cause of suffering, or even imply it. Can you provide the minute mark where she says that, too?

I already quoted the relevant sections from her interview.

What is the difference between white peoples' suffering and the suffering of people of color?

People of color, myself included, suffer from being positioned in the world, psychologically, and the stuff that goes with it: violence, this, that. Now, white people suffer from problems of their own mind. They suffer with trust, they suffer with intimacy, they suffer with closeness, shame, guilt, anxiety. They suffer with their minds. Don’t get me wrong, people of color are also neurotic and have their own stuff and ups and downs. But there is a fundamental issue I think that is very unique to white suffering and I think that’s their own mind.

What would you say is the cause of this?
I think it’s colonialism. That history. If you do this much lying to yourself it's going to have an effect on your mind. There's no way it can’t.

A fleeting thought is not racism.

Racism is what Republicans are doing all over the nation.

Trying to make it harder for black people to vote.

It hurts some poor white people too.

Republicans don't like the poor much either.

I didn't waste the extra clicks to study the charges, but we're speaking of a "guest lecturer"? Not even a full-time lecturer, let alone tenured faculty?

How do the whingers compare this offense with Trump's National Security Advisor now calling for a Myanmar-style military coup? (Does guest lecturer outrank the National Security Advisor in importance or prestige?) How does it compare with Republican Congresscritters who have solicited death threats against Democratic Congresscritters? Or Republican leadership which encourages racist violence?

I, for one, would be willing to listen to the whinges if those questions were addressed. Otherwise the whingeing is devoid of perspective or context.

Manufactured Outrage Inc. strikes again.

 

[Angra Mainyu]

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?

No, it is not going to be enough, at least not for the vast majority of people who believe that only whites can be racist, or that blacks cannot be racist. And probably it will not be enough for even one of them.

Who says you have to listen to the whingers? Evidently you care just enough to produce whataboutery, but do not care enough to engage on any meaningful level.

She didn't have "fleeting" thoughts. She has restructured her life to cut out nearly all white people from friendship.

Considering the outrage continuously spewed by the racists and anti-feminists here, I truly wonder what some of their fantasies would show.

No need to further my point that you prefer the comfort of your secular religion than educating yourself.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

A fleeting thought is not racism.

Racism - judging based on race. It absolutely is a thought.

Her thoughts weren't fleeting, they were continuous.

Racism is what Republicans are doing all over the nation.

Both sides. Seriously. Your beloved mainstream center-culture Democrats are also racists.

 

[Elixir]

Quit messing with the echo chamber!

I just find it interesting that someone so obviously unhinged as Khilanani was invited to give a presentation at Yale. She’s nuttier than squirrel poop and yet she’s invited to share her incoherent mumbo jumbo at Yale. It really is a religion.

There's a kind of significant white supremacist norm in our culture to make the things that the speaker complained about like entitlement, gas lighting, false equivalency, and white perspective normalization possibly a source of constant trauma for non-whites to be forced to listen to. For someone in a business of talking especially to white people like she had to do, the expectation of such whitesplaining must have been very tough to endure. But the thing is that because of the imbalance of cultural power position, most white people ought not even be expected to have fleeting thoughts regarding getting out of such a trap of a struggle. A fantasy is unnecessary when you are in power. Their "struggle" is reduced to hearing or reading an anecdote about a minority, then mentioning it to others while complaining and saying, "See? I told you how crazy they are."

a source of constant trauma for non-whites to be forced to listen to.

What does "forced" mean in this context?
To you.

I'm asking because the meaning of the word has become a point of contention in another thread.
