People can climb out and become successful, but it's a hell of a lot harder than someone born in the suburbs (white or black). The policy of denying loans to black folks is gone, but all of the challenges that come with a generation of poverty and unequal laws still exist. So for instance, the historical denial of lending money to black people resulted in the inability for black communities to generate wealth that could be passed on to later generations, so you end up with self-perpetuating poor neighborhoods. The therapist had previously pushed Yale to make video of her remarks public after the Ivy League institution initially restricted viewings to people affiliated with the university.One of the main ideas behind critical race theory is that people are not necessarily personally racist, but systems and structures created in the past that were built on racist notions may still perpetuate the effects of racist policies. Khilanani’s Yale talk made national headlines when audio of it was posted on the Substack online platform of former New York Times opinion writer and editor Bari Weiss. Aruna Khilanani’s racist rant is “antithetical” to the institution’s values. We need to get to know the mask.” The Yale School of Medicine said Dr. White people think it’s their actual face. They don’t even know they have a mask on. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall.”Īt still another point in the Yale remarks, Khilanani said that white people “sound demented. “We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero to accept responsibility. “We keep forgetting that directly talking about race is a waste of our breath,” Khilanani said at the time. Thursday’s comments seemed to be an extension of other remarks Khilanani made in her Yale lecture, which was titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.” You discovered - everything is a discovery and it’s all actually stolen.” And this level of ‘discovery’ is everywhere.
“You wipe the slate clean, you sanitize the violence – and you actually got lost along the way, trying to go to India - and then you say you discovered something. You don’t talk about the level of what actually occurred,” she went on.
“We don’t say that we killed all these people, we got rid of all the Native Americans, we say we discovered America. Aruna Khilanani was interviewed by Marc Lamont Hill, who was fired from his CNN gig after making a controversial remark about Israel in 2018. I mean, this level of lies is actually part of history. “I think that there’s many lies … the level of lying that white people do that has started since colonialism, we’re just used to it.”Īfter Hill asked her to elaborate, Khilanani continued: “Every time that you steal a country, you loot, you say you’ve discovered something. “Would it be fair to say, based on your expertise, that white people are psychopathic?” Hill asked Khilanani at one point. Aruna Khilanani - who also revealed in her talk at Yale’s Child Study Center April 6 that white people “make my blood boil” and “are out of their minds and have been for a long time” - joined Hill on the fledgling Black News Channel’s prime-time program “Black News Tonight” to discuss her shocking statements. The New York City psychiatrist who stunned a Yale School of Medicine audience in April when she revealed her fantasies of “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way” characterized white people as “psychopathic” Thursday in an interview with disgraced former CNN pundit Marc Lamont Hill.ĭr.
