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.

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.
 
"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.
