In April, a New York-based psychiatrist told medical students and faculty in a virtual speech for a Yale University panel discussion, “’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***ing favor.”
Dr. Aruna Khilanani claimed to The New York Times that her lecture had “used provocation as a tool for real engagement.” She opened her remarks by asserting that she would “say a lot of things, and it will probably provoke a lot of responses, and I want you to just maybe observe them in yourself.”
