A New York-based psychiatrist had been invited to Yale University in order to give a talk that was titled “Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” telling the audience that she had fantasized about “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person” who had gotten in her way.
Dr Aruna Khilanani is based in Manhattan and had delivered the talk through online opportunities. The speech was given to medical students and staff back in April, delivering it to the Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center.
Her speech goes as long as 50 minutes and had been published on Bari Weiss’ Substack’s blog last Friday.
She commented that white people feel like they are being bullied when people of color bring up race, describing it as a “psychological predicament”.
She states that “they feel that we should be thanking them for all that they have done for us. They are confused, and so are we. We keep forgetting that directly talking about race is a waste of our breath.”
The psychiatrist continues, “We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility. It ain’t gonna happen. They have five holes in their brain. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall. It’s just like sort of not a good idea.”
Khilanani adds on that speaking to white people about race was “useless” because the level of wavelengths are not the same.
She says that “addressing racism assumes that white people can see and process what we are talking about. They can’t. That’s why they sound demented. They don’t even know they have a mask on. White people think it’s their actual face. We need to get to know the mask.”
The doctor even describes white people as “out of their minds,” that it is the “cost of talking to white people at all. The cost of your own life, as they suck you dry. There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil.”
After the talk ended, Yale had made the content only available to students and faculty, giving it a warning for “profanity and imagery for violence.”
The doctor has released a series on TikTok that claims that the school hasn’t included the name of the talk. One of the captions reads, “My talk at Yale Child Study Center was just released internally. Unnamed and untitled like the privilege it protects.”
