NYC Shrink Tells Yale Audience She Fantasizes About Shooting White People"},"content":{"rendered":"

BRETT: No doubt you\u2019ve heard this story about the psychiatrist, Dr. Aruna Khilanani, who now has come out and said “she does not regret” saying that she wanted to go take a gun and empty it into a bunch of white people. “Dr. Aruna Khilanani has said she does not regret the word choice of her lecture. She gave a controversial virtual talk to Yale University staff and students in April.<\/p>\n

“In it, she said she fantasized about ‘unloading a revolver\u2019 into white people. She has faced criticism from university staff and others over her comments. On Saturday, she said her words had been taken out of context…” Of course they\u2019ve been “taken out of context.”<\/p>\n

\"\"They\u2019re always “taken out of context” when it\u2019s a liberal. You don\u2019t understand. You\u2019re not sophisticated enough. You don\u2019t! That\u2019s what we always get from these folks. But hold on. The very notion that we can even call this a controversy or a controversial virtual talk? A controversy is a ball game ending with a questionable call from a referee or an umpire.<\/p>\n

A controversial moment might be a particular outfit worn to a television awards show that nobody watches anymore. Like, that can be controversy. Controversy can be a dramatic plot twist on a nighttime show. Going to a place of education at a prestigious university and declaring that you had fantasized openly as a psychiatrist — meaning somebody who is working with other people to work through their problems.<\/p>\n

And that you have “fantasized about ‘unloading a revolver\u2019 into white people,” that\u2019s enough, if you\u2019re not a psychiatrist, to get probably held on a Baker hold so that you\u2019re gonna be checked out by professionals, and they\u2019re probably gonna take your guns from you, for real, even if you just say that in some jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

Now, she says it\u2019s a controversy. She says, “Well, you know…” But I have to ask the question, why is this okay? Why haven\u2019t the cancel culture trolls gotten hold of her career and sunk it? If you or I said this about a group of people — white people or any other group of people — we\u2019d be called white supremacists and every other name under the sun.<\/p>\n

But when an elite New York doctor speaking at an elite ivory tower institution like Yale speaks, well, we kind of know what happens. We\u2019re supposed to just see it as racism in ourselves for being offended. And that is absolutely, 100% wrong. I can\u2019t even imagine — and I\u2019m dead serious when I say this.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t even imagine going into a public space where there are people I\u2019m going to be lecturing to and speaking in this way. So she said what she was trying to do is she was trying to, like, shake it up a little bit. The talking about shooting people was part of a shaking it up. Quote, “Too much of the discourse on race is a dry, bland regurgitation of new vocabulary words with no work in the unconscious.<\/p>\n

\"\"“‘And, if you want to hit the unconscious, you will have to feel real negative feelings. My speaking metaphorically about my own anger was a method for people to reflect on negative feelings. To normalize negative feelings. Because if you don\u2019t, it will turn into a violent action.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Khilanani, who is of Indian descent, went on to say that she did not regret her word choice.” Okay. You don\u2019t even get an “I\u2019m sorry if anybody was offended,” one of those dodges in this. It\u2019s really incredible when you think about it. You don\u2019t even get a “I\u2019m really sorry if it was taken out of context, if you didn\u2019t understand the analogy, if you were offended by my words.”<\/p>\n

Instead she says, “‘Something is emotionally dangerous about opening up a conversation about race. No one wants to look at their actions or face their own negative feelings about what they are doing. The best way to control the narrative is to focus on me, and make me the problem, which is what I stated occurs in the dynamic of racism.”<\/p>\n

Oh, please! Spare me, spare us.<\/p>\n

If you are fantasizing about shooting a group of people, then you should probably sit down with a psychiatrist in a moment of therapy, a moment of trust and try to work your way, way through it. But walking into a public space and say that you fantasize about killing people is a negative reflection on yourself. I know it\u2019s shocking, but it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
