The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association has officially declared “whiteness” to be a parasitic pathology that has no known cure.
The article, titled “On Having Whiteness,” was written by Dr. Donald Moss, a white man who is a faculty member of both the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis.
Moss defines whiteness as a “condition one first acquires and then one has — a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, generating characteristic ways of being in one’s body, in one’s mind, and in one’s world.”
“Parasitic Whiteness” writes Moss, “renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse. These deformed appetites particularly target nonwhite peoples. Once established, these appetites are nearly impossible to eliminate.”
Easily impressionable and sensitive Caucasian patients may panic at this point, but Moss offers some treatments for the condition, the most effective of which includes “a combination of psychic and social-historical interventions.” Such interventions “reasonably aim only to reshape Whiteness’s infiltrated appetites — to reduce their intensity, redistribute their aims, and occasionally turn those aims toward the work of reparation.”
Even then, Moss laments that there “is no guarantee against regression” and “there is not yet a permanent cure.”
Since the key words to the article include “racism,” “envy,” and “aggression,” it may raise concerns over the possibility of recommended hospitalization and medication treatment of those affected by the “disease.”
Last year, Moss went on a speaking tour, giving his presentation “On Having Whiteness,” and was featured at the South African Psychoanalytical Association, the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in New York.
As New American wrote at the time:
Probably because he is a white man, Moss believes that his perverse presentation and its overt racism can be forgiven — but it cannot…. Moss is speaking from a position of authority on a subject he clearly doesn’t understand. In calling “whiteness” an affliction, Moss is saying that an entire race suffers from a mental illness which it cannot control. Left “untreated” by his “psychological and social-historical interventions” (whatever they are), Moss apparently believes that Caucasians are incapable of rational, non-racist thoughts and actions.
Moss’s claims were so astounding that some observers speculated that the journal article was fictional and perhaps satirical of anti-white wokeness. But the peer-reviewed study is real, and the former New York University educator appears to have plenty of like-minded “experts” in mental-health circles.
Last October, the American Journal of Community Psychology published an article titled “Interrogating Whiteness in Community Research and Action,” calling for greater awareness, understanding, and “problematizing” of whiteness, as well as interventions to “dismantle whiteness as a system of domination.”
Just last week, it came to light that New York-based psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Aruna Khilanani had lectured at Yale University in April on “the psychopathic problem of the white mind.”
Talking to the students and faculty of Yale’s Child Study Center, Khilanani shared her experience on treating white people: “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.”
As a result of such interactions, the “doctor” said, “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 likened white patients to a “demented, violent predator.”
When controversy over the lecture surfaced, Yale issued a statement saying that the tone and content of Khilanani’s talk were “antithetical to the values of the school.”
As noted by Douglas Murray in his book The Madness of Crowds, the “whiteness studies” is a discipline now taught at all Ivy League universities in the United States, as well as at universities from England to Australia.
“This offshoot of the critical race theory,” Murray writes, “now sees the University of Wisconsin in Madison providing a course called ‘The Problem of Whiteness,’ while at Melbourne University in Australia academics have pushed for ‘whiteness studies’ to be made a compulsory part of training in completely unconnected fields.”
Oxford University’s Research Encyclopedia defines Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS) as “a growing field of scholarship whose aim is to reveal the invisible structures that produce and reproduce white supremacy and privilege. CWS presumes a certain conception of racism that is connected to white supremacy.”
Needless to say, that academic effort to “scientifically” portray an entire group of people, their attitudes, pitfalls, and moral associations, based on the amount of melanin in their skin and another racial characteristics is a fairly good demonstration of racism. “Problematizing” whiteness means that white people are considered a “problem,” and not on some abstract level, but in practical day-to-day interactions. Historically, such attitudes have resulted in discrimination and violence against those deemed “subhuman.”
