Guest Post by Jonathan Turley
We previously discussed the ongoing controversies over former Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy Lee, who made highly unprofessional and sensational remarks throughout the Trump presidency. The school eventually got rid of Lee but seems to have found another even more controversial substitute as a speaker in psychiatrist Dr. Aruna Khilanani. The New York-based doctor was invited to Yale School of Medicine in April to deliver an address which turned out to be a violent, racist diatribe, including saying that she often thought of “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.”
The audio of the talk was placed on substack by former New York Times opinion writer and editor Bari Weiss. Khilanani previously complained that Yale had restricted access to her speech and demanded that it be made public. Yale Child Study Center Director of Medical Studies Dr. Andres Martin was listed as “course director” for the talk.
Khilanani launched into an attack of all white people as a monolithically ignorant, delusional, and hateful group. Early on, she offers a telling self-diagnosis: “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.” She insisted “Nothing makes me angrier than a white person who tells me not to be angry, because they have not seen real anger yet.”
Khilanani then gives a chilling observation. After noting that she stopped watching news because it upset her too much, she noted “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 f–king favor.”
Khilanani encouraged the audience to stop speaking with white people because they are incapable of dealing with their racism and refuse to admit that they are all racists.
White people are out of their minds, and they have been for a long time … 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.
Khilanani was brought in by Yale to share her thoughts on “decoding white people” and explain how white people are useless to speak to (despite the white people in her audience).
Khilanani is an example of a growing number of writers and academics spewing anti-white sentiments while dismissing any criticism as white insecurity or privilege. Elie Mystal, writer for Above the Law and The Nation’s justice correspondent, for example, lashed out at “white society” and how he strived to maintain a “whiteness free” life in the pandemic. A seminary professor recently publicly prayed “Dear God, Please help me to hate White people” and to overcome any lingering concern for them. Even students are voicing such views. We recently discussed a Miami law student writing about her “hate for white people.” It is not hard to imagine what would be the response if such statements were made about a different race.
I have long defended such statements as protected by free speech principles and I feel the same way about Khilanani’s speech. This is a viewpoint that should be discussed and debated. In the past, I have defended extremist views on academic freedom grounds like those of University of Rhode Island professor Erik Loomis, who has defended the murder of a conservative protester and said that he saw “nothing wrong” with such acts of violence. (Loomis also writes for the site “Lawyers, Guns, and Money.”) I have defended faculty who have made similarly disturbing comments “detonating white people,” denouncing police, calling for Republicans to suffer, strangling police officers, celebrating the death of conservatives, calling for the killing of Trump supporters, supporting the murder of conservative protesters and other outrageous statements.
I believe in largely unfettered free speech, particularly for statements made off campus or outside of a classroom. There is a value to having an open intellectual forum including extremist views like those of Loomis and Khilanani. The problem is that universities have shown little tolerance for opposing viewpoints and have often subjected faculty to investigations and sanctions for expressing their viewpoints. Students have also been sanctioned for criticism BLM and anti-police views at various colleges. Even a high school principal was fired for stating that “all lives matter.” Each of these controversies raise concerns over the countervailing statements against police or Republicans or other groups.
The problem is not the tolerance shown speakers like Khilanani but the intolerance shown opposing viewpoints. Indeed, it is rare for such conservative or libertarian speakers to be invited to these conferences or campus events. Yale clearly wanted to feature Khilanani and her “decoding whiteness” viewpoints. The question is whether it will now offer a speaker who will decode Khilanani and whether she is herself an example of violent and racist ideations.

Does that beach realizes that speaking like this makes us feeling exactly like her with a little difference 1) we are the ones who are armed 2) we are the ones who know how to shoot, 3) we are the ones who won’t be afraid to shoot.
(Yes even in Frankistan there are legal ways ).
George, never underestimate the bolshevik capacity for violence and terror.
Overthecliff, I don’t, went to Poland in the 60’s and saw first hand what they were capable of.
My maternal grandfather was taken to the Caucasus mountain to work in some mine. When he fell into a fairly deep mine shaft, the bolsheviks left him for dead. He took him nearly a year and half to walk back to Poland walking at night and hiding in day time.
Bannana Republic, we can’t be that far from the cliff.
Her Tiktok, warning you will want to vomit after watching a couple of her exploits.
Totally different generation.
Of course she realizes those things. She and her ilk also realize if we were going to do it, things would be in full swing by now. We have no leadership, backing or organization and too many people STILL think running away to a different area will keep them safe or convince themselves just doing everything peacefully will do the trick. Self delusion is a powerful drug. TPTB haven’t taken everything away from us yet because as long as we have something to lose they know we won’t step off the porch. Everything kept to a high simmer but not boiling. What they don’t take from us will be confiscated from our kids…house, 401k, savings…everything. Everything done incrementally to keep us all sitting on our asses and turning on our thumbs. When we are gone the brainwashed generations will be in power and we will be lucky to be an after thought.
She is stupid. You wouldn’t need to waste a bullet. You could take care of business with a shovel.
I’m afraid, but I’ll do it.
Psychiatry, yep, she is nuts.
Psychiatry has long been used as a political weapon.
It wasn’t that long ago that her crazy talk would have qualified her for a lobotomy.
Horse face alert
So explain why these ‘psychiatrists’ are crazier than shit house rats and then explain how they become professors at Yale, or, is that an obvious question? Anyone wanting this blood mouthed ghoul ‘helping’ them with their mental issues is beyond help. Yale, Harvard, essentially ALL ‘higher education’ has devolved into a pathetic and puerile morass of virtue signaling and debasement of both the school and the students.
Anyone who still believes that college is the answer needs their heads examined, just not by this racist puke.
+1000 MyG!
I recognized her right away. She was in the box office disaster The Fly III. If you recall, in that installment she played the part of a bubble brained research assistant who outdid Goldblum’s Brundlefly transpecies adventure by accidentally being integrated with a pair of vintage Harley saddlebags. Though she had no acting experience prior to this small role, the director said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to cut his huge special effects budget by using her own lips in all the closeups.
She went on to greater success using those same beauties as a lifeboat in Titanic, part of the stone redoubt in The Great Wall and Lady Liberty’s severed head lips at one to one scale in Cloverfield.
Certainly a niche performer but one who is unequaled at what she does…whatever the fuck that is.
Ethyl- I appreciate a fellow reader who can understand the roll of actors in today’s non-reality shit show.
I want to thank Dr. Khilanani and all those who hate white people and have threatened white people harm over the past 5 years for outing themselves and allowing us to know where they live.
They accuse us of deeds not yet done. The corollary to “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.” (Baretta) is “If you are penalized for the crime, you might as well be guilty.”
Just another example of what our children are being “taught”, especially at the university level.
When academia and political leaders confer the legitimacy of harming/ killing whites it is an open invitation and tacit approval for other less “well balanced” individuals to act on the recommendation.
That a psychiatrist could make such statements is horrifying in itself. That the school can tolerate such talk from its staff is just unbelievable.
Agreed. This speech, particularly coming from this source, WILL be construed as approval, sanction, permission and encouragement. Innocent people will be harmed, killed even, as a result of this woman’s deranged and ill-considered invective.
And that, it would seem, is her purpose in uttering them.
I don’t know what oppressed minority a woman with a degree in psychiatry at Yale imagines herself a part of, but it is purely imaginary. Her grasp of reality is inadequate.
Many of us have known who and what the progressives are for years. This is not new. They want to kill us if we do not submit. The real question is what do we do about it.
“Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back.”
— Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly, Season 1: Our Mrs. Reynolds
I think repeating her speech and inserting brown people in place of white people would be in order. Then point out the hate is ok when it’s about white-skinned people and yet horrible racist when another group is substituted. I guess it wouldn’t matter to a racist like her.
Replace “white people” with “Jews” and see how fast this psychopath psychiatrist disappears from the face of the Earth.
Dr. Bandy Lee…clown school called they need their head clown back.
P.S. …folks like you are the reason gun and ammo sales are at all time highs . Hopefully you’ll die slowly and painfully one day .
“Do you think about killing your self or someone?”
“Do you have access to firearms?”
First questions at any VA treatment facility for any condition.
Sounds like Dr. [Maj] Hassam at Fort Hood thought along the same lines since great minds run in a similar direction.
BUCK- Hopefully she is fully vaxxed. 🙂
Someone clearly needs a mental health evaluation.
No need for an evaluation. Pressing need for an intervention.
Dude, the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact. If our ideas are met with violence (despite having created the civilization that allowed her to speak), that violence must be met with countervailing force. Otherwise, our tolerance of hateful speech directed toward us becomes merely the high road to extinction.
Jealous of our accomplishments (at GREAT human expense!) and unable to imagine herself building anything better, she is determined to tear our civilization down until it is low enough for her to cope with. She is possibly a very intelligent woman, but intelligence and madness are very close cousins.
The lipstick is “the tell”. Every woman I’ve ever known that wore bright fire engine red lipstick like that was batshit crazy. It’s a clear warning in nature to stay away much like the rattle on a snake or the coloring of a bee/hornet.
Other visible tells …
Green or blue eye shadow. Shaved eyebrows replaced by pencil liner or permanent tattoo.
Multiple, alternating colors or black fingernail polish w/ dagger claw fake nails. Conversely, ragged, bitten, or missing fingernails.
Phucked up hair styles in multiple colors.
Multiple tattoos or piercings.
Teenage styles on a middle-aged body, even if they look like teens – avoid.
Plastic, gel, silicone, or botulin injections.
Burkhas or hijab – avoid.
Obvious body hair of any kind – bad hygiene.
This is racism at its worst and clearly smacks of the Nazi hatred of the Jews. She is dangerous and is a deeply sick and troubled person. Trying to have a civil discussion with her is impossible. The derangement runs deep and out of control. She is possessed by a hateful demon.
Didn’t read the article. Won’t read the article.
1) My very first reaction was same as Dirtperson Steve’s — that bright red lipstick indicates she’s some kind of skank.
2) Never heard of her before. Probably will never see her name again. Sooooo, why give a fuck?
3) Just looked it up …. there are about 29,000 psychiatrists in America. She’s but one voice out of 29,000. BTW, about 28,950 of the others are just as fucked up as she is.
4) An Ivy League libtard, eh? Never never ever ever read Ivy Fuktard shit if you can help it.
The bigger “sin”, perhaps? Giving that Skankasaurus another platform here on TBP. Best to let shittard skanks like her die a slow death in obscurity.
“BTW, about 28,950 of the others are just as fucked up as she is.”
In my experience, the social ‘sciences’ and ‘human services’ attract some of the most mentally disturbed people on the planet. Strange that.
FM, a truer word was never spoken. I spend zero time on any article about sociology or shrinks. If both professions disappeared tomorrow, they would not be missed. IMO
In my experience, it’s been the “kunstlers” or performance artists along with sculptors, painters, and fashion designers. Mixed with estrogen and borderline schizo is particularly bad.
I almost posted this yesterday but thought the same thing. Why give her any more attention?
I knew she was going to be a physiognomic trainwreck because…well, just because. So I looked her image up. It appears like Google has been busy in the last 24 hours purging her really scary pics because there were a hell of a lot more of them way worse than the image above.
Here’s the simple explanation; if your face looked like that and you lived in a society with far more attractive people, unless you were grounded you’d probably harbor a lot of resentment and envy. That’s all her rant was about, how outclassed she must feel every time she looks in the mirror.
I’ll take physiognomy for a thousand, Alex.
That would be a clubber not a lead issue in my fantasies.
Psychologists and psychiatrists tend to be the most fucked in the head people I have known.
Got 5 different dsm5 diagnoses from 4 different phds. Goes to show that biases make their way into most everything unless you are an exceptional thinker.
I am biased and I think most life is a waste of atoms. Especially people that think they wont be the next target of the shit they are espousing as gospel.
Case in point: Mr Ed’s illegitimate long lost grand daughter trying to be edgy and woke.
She must have been rejected by a white man during her doctoral days. That much hate from a woman indicates a man jilted her. Hence all the utter contempt and fantasizing about murdering da ebil pale faces. By the way, she is whiter than most honkies and half breeds. Myself included.
That is the kind of shit that keeps that obvious keeper from getting a real man. End sarc.
If people want unserstand hate and why someone would be “racist” or an “oppressor” or whatever flavor of the week term they are using against Anglo-Saxon types then maybe they should look in the mirror and see what is driving their racism and oppressive desires. Of course they wont because that involves intellctual honesty and introspection on their part which akin to staking a vampire or kryptonite to Superwhiteman.
I know I am biased towards anyone that wishes me ill or suffering. That should be a normal reaction for any human that understands a threat. Any threat based on any reason to my well-being or my loved ones will get a prejudicial response from me. That is natural. No point in denying one’s nature anymore. Bias is used in every decision a human makes
The fact that I am a genetic mutt makes no difference as my limbic system identifies danger subconsciously and my analytical brain actively understands the current threat environment and no amount of word salad or absolutely fallacious theory regarding “equity” or “racism” or whatever shit they are pimping for this month will dissuade me knowing what an intrinsic threat that fascists of any creed or color presents.
This is a war for supremacy of the body and mind belonging to yourself versus the collective stupidity of the useful idiots trying to destroy individualism and the few liberties we have left.
The real question is: what is the final straw?
Some twat trying to act hard or role play by talking stupid shit only weakens her credibility as an actual thinket, but the idiots that abound will run with bullshit and that what should be worrying everyone that still has a critically reasoning brain between their ears.
The fuckers are openly telling us what they want to do us. Always be prepared and always be ready to go big and go harder.
ZFG, out.
P.S. Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity either. As always, eat a dick.
You sure you aren’t from Jersey – or NY?
You read as if you were from Jersey or NY.
One must mask one’s true writing style. Misspellings aside from that fucken phone.
Based on government policy, we must somehow need millions more people just like her, for some insane reason.
One word: Cunt.
No, a cunt is actually a beautiful thing. Life springs from cunts, as does happiness and pleasure. That grotesque excuse for a woman isn’t a woman. She is fugly, a train wreck both physically and mentally. The only thing nastier than that thing are the people who hired her and keep her employed.
One beautiful thing about the ongoing Soviet Imperial Collapse of the United States is that once this is all over with, very few colleges will be in business. No more guaranteed student loans means bankrupt colleges with no hope of getting their dineros. It wouldn’t surprise me if at least 90% fail right after our society goes across the event horizon.
But those Gatekeepers of future elite governance will still be there.
not about this article but it’ll fit here–
cancel culture is going after bird names–
quite often when a bird is discovered,the discoverer will name it after someone they know or admire–
under modern scrutiny, do you have any idea how many people were racist in the not too distant past?
yeah,i didn’t think you realized that,probably b/c you’re a racist yourself–
I just keep thinking, who invented this? Whatever it is, who invented this? The self oiler, a black man who got screwed out of his invention by the railroads. The rotary lawn mower, a black man whose fate I don’t know. Otherwise it’s been whites, English or Saxons who’ve come up with the inventions. You know more? Tell me.
our local paper carries an advice column that is syndicated by one of the large northern papers(wapo ?)–
recently there was a letter asking how to respond to people who asked why the writer’s recent college grad son did not get a better job–the letter writer went on to explain how the family was not disappointed b/c some other deserving people got the better jobs now that white privilege is eroding–
imo the letter was made up so that the white columnist would be able to virtue signal–the columnist went off & told the woman that she did not owe the people who asked about her son any explanation & that she,the columnist was fed up w/white privilege,blah,blah,blah.
i looked the woman up on wiki–she was a child of privilege–her dad was a senior person at one of the major defense contractors & she graduated from harvard–
I’m gonna get kicked offa here like I’ve been so many sites, for truth.
Black is beautiful
Tan is grand
But white is the color
Of the big boss man
Corporations have placed blacks in management positions over whites for years. The “Big boss man “be black now days Walter.You might want to spread that info around in the hood.
Oh Walter, I hope you stay as our token kneegrow. The education you’ll receive will change your whole outlook on the world around you.
its cause they can’t get lawyers or accountants
Racism against whites, is still racism. Too bad liberals are fuking stupid to realize that.
They realize it. They don’t care.
Anything they can do to to harm White people, they will do if they can. That is the whole of their moral compass, and nothing else enters into what they do.
