With a bounce in her step
A psychiatrist said in a lecture at Yale University’s School of Medicine that she had fantasies of shooting white people, prompting the university to later restrict online access to her expletive-filled talk, which it said was “antithetical to the values of the school.”
The talk, titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” had been presented by the School of Medicine’s Child Study Center as part of Grand Rounds, a weekly forum for faculty and staff members and others affiliated with Yale to learn about various aspects of mental health.
The title doesn’t sound entirely reasonable or well judged.
“This is the cost of talking to white people at all — the cost of your own life, as they suck you dry,” Dr. Khilanani said in the lecture, which drew widespread attention after Bari Weiss, a former writer and editor for the opinion department of The New York Times, posted an audio recording of it on Substack on Friday. “There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil.”
Any good peaches out there? Grapefruits? Cherries?
“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 [fucking] favor,” she said, adding an expletive.
I like the exquisite politeness of that “relatively.” Not completely guiltless, you understand, just relatively.
Later in the lecture, Dr. Khilanani, who said she is of Indian descent, described the futility of trying to talk directly to white people about race, calling it a “waste of our breath.”
“We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero to accept responsibility,” she said. “It ain’t going to happen. They have five holes in their brain.”
So Yale made the video of her talk available only to the people who were eligible to attend it.
Dr. Khilanani posted several videos on TikTok addressing what she called Yale’s “suppression of my talk on race.” In her email, she called on Yale to release the video, and she said in a phone interview that Yale should not have been surprised because “they knew the topic, they knew the title, they knew the speaker.”
That is a point. Why did they invite her in the first place?
Is this just more cancel culture? No, because of the fantasies about shooting people. If a GC feminist did a talk ranting about fantasies of shooting people I wouldn’t defend her.
Okay, I’m confused. Does she think that having her presentation more widely available is going to make her look good? Or is this supposed to be some sort of incitement, or call to arms that she expects others to heed? If so, she overestimates a) her likely influence, and, (one hopes) b) the enthusiasm amongst her prospective listeners for murdering white people.
So this wasn’t a one-off rant then? This is her regular gig? Weird. And maybe Yale should have looked into this a bit more closely. I wonder if the person(s) responsible for booking her for the lecture will be sacked.
Also, I guess Dr. Khilanani doesn’t see the fact that wanting to kill any and all white people because of their racism is…racist? Here we see first hand what can happen if one fails to repair or replace a defective irony meter.
Yes, but at least Dr. Khilanan isn’t a Karen, right?
I have another perhaps irrelevant question: what caste is she descended from? Cuz if I was to guess it’s the Brahmin caste, i.e. “white” Indians…
A severe case of wokebrain. Everything a non-white / non-straight / non-‘cis’ / non-male person says is fine if it denigrates or promotes violence against white / straight / ‘cis’ / male people (mix and match the demographics, any combo works). Punching up justifies everything.
Per wiki: “Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits.” How many of those traits are evident in a person openly speaking about murdering a demographic without remorse?
When ANY ‘woke’ event is ready to promote HAMAS or Louis Farrakhan, what can you expect?
Oh, and she’s a psychoanalyst, so her ‘scientific’ credentials are bullshit too.
Holms: I am told over at Mano Singham’s place that anyone who uses the term “woke” unironically is automatically a right wing evangelical Trump voter. So consider yourself verboten! (Interesting. Spell Check accepts Verboten as a word)
There is a prolific commenter at some of the other sites I hang out whose schtick is wokeness is destroying the modern American left. He goes way, way too far, but this kind of stuff, indeed, DOES drive SOME Trump votes. If this IS the modern American left…?
Blood Knight: Someone should ask her how Dalits who have also immigrated to the United States should be treated. (Hint…not well. Not well at all).
Yes, most likely. I don’t pretend to know why, but it seems typical of the type. Consider all the videos of the chaos at Evergreen we have, videos that were made and cheerfully uploaded by those causing the chaos.
Funny thing is that all the wokies I know are recovering Republicans/Libertarians/religious nutters who haven’t traditionally been politically engaged and yet myself, having been involved in left wing politics for over two decades and voted in every election that I can remember am a reactionary apparently.
