Med school to hold event led by professor who says 'Whites are psychopaths'

Med school to hold event led by professor who says 'Whites are psychopaths​

So, I suppose based upon the perception of how some view my skin color I am diseased?
 
If people are offended this guy, they are free to not attend the lecture.
 
Adjunct Assistant Professor. :rolleyes:

Checked his website out. This guy seems like he’s either a racist crank or feeding himself with a race grift.

I ain’t buying his book. There are serious people, professors, who have written about race and history.

Not, at the moment, Dante King is not any longer employed by any Government entity.

He may be. His bio includes this passage "[King] serves as guest faculty at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine (UCSF)."

If that's a paid gig, he's a government employee.

It isn't a Government entity and doesn't make him a Government employee.
 
"The webinar counts towards Continuing Education Credit, something that physicians are mandated to achieve."

Technically no one is forced to attend this particular event. But budding young doctors can go, instead of learning about advances in medicine & healthcare. Yay!

Yes, why is that a continuing education course in Med school?

Bypassing the OP and looking at the actual course gives every indication this should be a social studies class or at best a law school class.
Upon completing this exercise, you will:

  • Identify and understand racism as psychological, sociological, and legal, as the main property and function of government, governance, and culture.
  • Examine racial sanctioning rooted in colorism, and the reasons racism was established and embedded into the legal, institutional, social, economic, and hierarchical fabric of U.S. culture.
  • Explore and examine personal life experiences; relationships to race, racism, racial power, and privilege; racial injustices, inequity, powerlessness, and oppression which underlie ongoing intergenerational racial traumas and triggers.
  • Highlight racial inequalities and inequities through the realm of anti-Blackness, the experiences of non-White people, and White people, to examine the ways in which racial power and privilege, as well as racial powerlessness and dis-privilege impact the humanity of all individuals in a racialized society.
  • Realize the views held by every individual are informed by a combination of many life experiences which are all unique and subjective. Understand the views we all hold as individuals are not equal, fair, or neutral; and they can never be rendered or validated in that manner.
  • Make connections about the way’s perceptions inform how people relate to, and/or treat people from similar or different racial and ethnic communities, examining both explicit and implicit biases.
  • Develop awareness and make connections about institutional, structural, systemic, systematic, and interpersonal racism (as White supremacy culture and anti-Blackness culture) its purposes and functionalities in our society; specifically, within the organizations, institutions, and communities where we work and live.
  • Identify and analyze the impacts of race across a variety of different aspects of identities (referred to as intersectionality) – sex, gender, housing, unsheltered/homelessness status, education, economics, healthcare, outcomes, sexual orientation, etc.; and deepen understanding about the ways in which racism magnifies misfortune across intersections.
  • Build skills to combat explicit and implicit biases, stemming from racist perceptions, stigmas, and stereotypes to develop empathy for people who have different backgrounds and experiences.
  • Develop individual and organizational anti-racist strategies and practices.
  • Begin thinking about anti-racist processes, policies, and programs to lead actionable change.
  • Incorporate racial justice, anti-racism, and racial and social equity into organizational change, including dismantling racial gaps and disparities in recruitment, hiring, pay, promotions, performance management, employee engagement and professional development, and retention.
  • Focus on inclusivity and enhanced support of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian-Pacific Islander, and other people referred to as "People of Color".

"Psychopathy is a spectrum disorder and can be diagnosed using the 20-item Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which features traits such as lack of empathy, pathological lying, and impulsivity, each scored on a three-point scale based on whether the item does not apply (0), applies to a certain extent (1), or fully applies (2) to the individual. The bar for clinical psychopathy is a score of 30 or higher; serial killer Ted Bundy scored 39.
  1. Glibness/superficial charm. I wish I was more charming, but it looks like a lot of work. So no.
  2. Grandiose sense of self worth. Nope, at least not that I'm aware of.
  3. Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom. Yep. I'll score myself a 2 on this one.
  4. Pathological lying. No. But am I lying now? Reminds me of an old Star Trek episode, where Kirk outsmarts an android by telling him "Everything I say is a lie. Now listen carefully: I'm lying."
  5. Conning/manipulative. No. Unless I'm just really bad at it.
  6. Lack of remorse or guilt. I take great pains to avoid doing things that justify remorse or guilt, and own my mistakes. So no.
  7. Shallow affect (i.e., reduced emotional responses). That's me to a tee. Giving myself a 2.
  8. Callous/lack of empathy. I often find it difficult to relate to other people's emotional reactions/outbursts. But I'm not cruel. People being unhappy can provoke similar unhappiness in me, just not with the same intensity. I'll give myself a 1.
  9. Parasitic lifestyle. Definitely no.
  10. Poor behavioral controls. Nope.
  11. Promiscuous sexual behavior. Only in my fantasies.
  12. Early behavioral problems. None that I'm aware of.
  13. Lack of realistic, long-term goals. Hmm. Probably. I'll give myself a 1 here.
  14. Irresponsibility. I'm the most responsible person I know (which may not be saying much).
  15. Juvenile delinquency. Nope.
  16. Many short-term marital relationships. No.
  17. Revocation of conditional release (from prison). My only scrapes with the law have been traffic tickets. Never been arrested.
  18. Criminal versatility (i.e., commits diverse types of crimes). Only in my DB Cooper-ish fantasies.
  19. Impulsivity. Very much not.
  20. Substance abuse not direct cause of antisocial behavior. No.

I've racked up 4 of the 20 indicators, for 6 points out of the 20 need to be officially designated a psycho. So I'm either lying, or just not white enough.

... or Dante's a retard.
 
It's terrible that he said it.

It's good that he wasn't stopped from saying it.

He isn't representative.
