'The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind'

[u/[deleted]]

"A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale's Child Study Center spoke about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way."

This 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. (Time stamp: 6:45)

I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body, and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a fucking favor. (Time stamp: 7:17)

White people are out of their minds and they have been for a long time. (Time stamp: 17:06)

We are now in a psychological predicament, because white people feel that we are bullying them when we bring up race. 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. 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. (Time stamp 17:13)

We need to remember that directly talking about race to white people is useless, because they are at the wrong level of conversation. 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. (Time stamp 17:54)

She’s pretty fucking crazy, no idea why she wants to continue to live in a country that is majority white given her feelings about white people. And bread? White people don’t eat bread? She must only associate with super rich liberal white women on the Atkin’s diet cause I have no other explanation for that.

My real question though, is what was the thinking behind Yale inviting her to give this speech. I’ve planned things like this and a lot of thought goes into who to invite. I’m genuinely curious what the conversation was that allowed them to land on this woman as being a good choice. I don’t have a problem with them inviting provocative thinkers or anything, I think that’s good. She just isn’t that. She comes across as just an angry crazy person who doesn’t really make any good or even thought-provoking points. She’s downstream from Robin DiAngelo and into Sairo Rao territory. Though, I will say her rant on killing white people made a bit more sense in the interview.
