At best, someone exploited a sufferer from chronic post-traumatic stress disorder who presents with paranoid ideation from an unfortunate episode.

In the language to which I became accustomed in the course of my training, I find this exercise totally inappropriate. That manifesto arises out of her paranoid ideation of which I find ample history from a simple Internet engine search. Serra, as Senior Administrative Assistant, and the faculty of the Psychiatry Department either exploited a very troubled woman or else lent her a platform for a dangerous political manifesto. She titled her talk, “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.” Incredibly, one Rosemary Serra booked this talk for Grand Rounds at the Yale Child Study Center. As you know, that talk took place by Zoom teleconference on 6 April 2021. I write today to express my outrage over the “Continuing Medical Educational” talk by Aruna Khilanani, M.D., M.A. Hurlbut, B.S., M.D., Yale College Class of 1980. Weiss also posted a poster of the talk online, showing the lecture’s title to be 'The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.To: Peter Salovey, Ph.D., President, Yale University, Woodbridge Hall, New Haven, Connecticut 06520.įrom: Terry A. Her comments surfaced when audio of the talk was posted on the substack of former New York Times opinion writer and editor Bari Weiss on Friday.

They did not respond to those requests for comment. Khilanani and the director of the Institute at Yale where she spoke.

'White people feel that we are bullying them when we bring up race.'Īnother outlet reached out to Dr. 'White people are out of their minds, and they have been for a long time,' she said. Khilanani talking about race issues with whites was 'useless because they are at the wrong level of conversation.' She also said she 'systematically' distanced herself from her white friends 'around five years ago.ĭr. 'Nothing makes me angrier than a white person who tells me not to be angry, because they have not seen real anger yet.” Like a goddamn timer, you can count it down. “We are calm, we are giving, too giving, and then when we get angry, they use our responses as confirmation that we’re crazy or have emotional problems.Īdding: 'It always ends that way, happens every time. She opened her talk by saying: “I’m gonna say a lot of things, and it will probably provoke a lot of responses, and I want you to just maybe observe them in yourself. The lecture also aimed to 'understand how white people are psychologically dependent on black rage.'

Khilanani’s Yale lecture was to talk about certain 'learning objectives' like the 'set up white people’s absence of empathy towards black rage as a problem.' Khilanani has trained at Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, New York University-Langone Medical Center, and at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell. “Does it matter?
