We Need To Talk About Whiteness - With Dr Aruna Khilanani

Ep 36: Whiteness and psychiatry - Dr. Aruna Khilanani is a forensic psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, whose speech at Yale university, "The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind", gained global attention after this quote was made public and sensationalised: "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". She joins me to discuss the fallout, violence in the unconscious mind, and how the media turns victims of racism into aggressors to hide from the reality of whiteness.
