A New York City psychiatrist says white people are “psychopathic,” adding that white people lie to themselves with a false sense of identity.
During an appearance on Black News Tonight, New York City psychiatrist Dr. Aruna Khilanani told host Marc Lamont Hill that white people have a false sense of identity, which has led them to become “psychopathic” and struggle with understanding race issues.
“The intention is to actually talk about unconscious negative feelings because if we’re not actually aware of unconscious negative feelings, it’s going to turn into a violent action,” Khilanani said, responding to a question Hill asked about her previous controversial comments about white people. During a past lecture at Yale, Khilanani said she doesn’t like white people and that she fantasized about shooting in the head when they would get in her way.
“So, of course, I don’t want to kill White people. That’s completely ludicrous,” she added. “But I think through my words, White people feel like they’re actually getting murdered because my words are troubling. It’s going to cause the death of their preferred self-image, the image that they’ve had through the colonialism of being good, helping, and teaching.”
Hill then asked, “Would it be fair to say based on your expertise that White people are psychopathic?” She responded, “I think so. Yeah … the level of lying that White people do that has started since colonialism – we’re just used to it. Every time that you steal a country, you loot, you say you’ve discovered something. I mean, this level of lies [is] actually part of history.”
She went on: “White people actually – they have a different conscious experience of themselves, rather than what they’re actually doing. So I’m saying the reason they can’t get it at this moment in time…is what is White identity? How do they view themselves that is actually very different from their actions? So sort of naming that problem first so that we can actually move forward and talk about race.”
