"We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility.
Khilanani goes on to say that talking with white poepl about race is "a waste of our breath." Like I did the world a f-cking favor," said Khilanani. "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. Khilanani said she had cut white people from her friends group, stating "“I systematically white-ghosted most of my white friends, and I got rid of the couple white BIPOCs that snuck in my crew, too." "This is the cost of talking to white people at all - the cost of your own life, as they suck you dry,' she said, adding that "There are no good apples out there. The talk, titled The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind, speaks on the exhaustion that arises from explaining racism to white people. Khilanani’s virtual talk, which was originally given to medical students and staff in April on an invite by the Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center, went viral after journalist Bari Weiss posted the 50-minute audio of the lecture to her Substack Friday.

"No one wants to look at their actions or face their own negative feelings about what they are doing. Because if you don't, it will turn into a violent action," said Khilanani, who said that she does not regret her choice of words. "My speaking metaphorically about my own anger was a method for people to reflect on negative feelings. "And, if you want to hit the unconscious, you will have to feel real negative feelings." "Too much of the discourse on race is a dry, bland regurgitation of new vocabulary words with no work in the unconscious," wrote Khilanani. In an email to the New York Times Saturday, Khilanani, who is of Indian descent, defended her comments, saying that her words had been taken out of context in what she calls an attempt to "control the narrative" around race.
Dr Aruna Khilanani, aa New York City-based psychiatrist who said during a Yale University panel discussion that she had fantasies of killing white people is now defending her comments after widespread backlash, the Daily Mail reports.
