Medical Journal Describes Whiteness as 'Malignant, Parasitic-Like Condition'

[brown mediterranean]

A research article published last month in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association called whiteness "a malignant, parasitic-like condition." That description, along with other language in the article, has caused public anger, and the backlash against the author was evident on social media.

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.

In the article, Moss wrote that "'white' people have a particular susceptibility" to the "parasitic" condition, which he claims "renders its hosts' appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse." He explained he believed whiteness establishes "entitled dominion" that enables the "host" to have "power without limit, force without restriction, violence without mercy," and increases one's drive to "terrorize."

Moss has previously lectured on the subject of whiteness before On Having Whiteness was published in the bi-monthly, peer-reviewed Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association on May 27. In 2019, he delivered his theory describing whiteness as a parasitic condition as a plenary address for the South African Psychoanalytical Association, and he also lectured on it at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in New York.

Moss is the author of multiple psychology books, and a forthcoming collection he edited entitled Hating, Abhorring and Wishing to Destroy: Psychoanalytic Essays on the Contemporary Moment will be published this fall. Moss is also a founding member of a climate group known as the "Green Gang," which describes itself as a collective focusing on "climate change and its denial."

On Twitter, the response to Moss' article has been outrage with user comments like, "This racist vomit should be called out for what it is" and "[w]ith pretense of academic rigor by a fellow White. No surprise it's in a psychoanalytic journal."

Psychologist Dr. Philip Pellegrino tweeted in response, "How do my colleagues consider this scholarship?"

They always got mad when every one else said it but they still got a hard time accepting the truth when even educated white males say it

I gotta' admit. I consider this "doctor" to be a racist libtard. Being white, black blue, pink or polka-dot has no bearing. It is the outcome of natural, biological processes over the millennia. I'm white, but that doesn't make me a parasite on society, black people, or anyone else, for that matter. We all have our own special gifts or talents or skills that make us all unique. But my skin color? Totally unimportant.

BNWO is a fetish for many here, especially white guys. I used to believe in BLM/BNWO as a cause until something very unfortunate happened to me at a BLM "protest". You can read that as a riot. I have written about what happened elsewhere here.

I have loved a black man, and was ready to be his forever girl, and have him as my forever man. I was ready to have his c h i l d r e n and raise his f a m i l y, but he betrayed me during our engagement.

The perspective that being white is parasitic is stupid, because it ignores a simple fact. There are more white people on Earth than there are blacks. Source There are even more People of Middle-Eastern decent than blacks. Yet there are more Asian people than whites. Yeah, somebody didn't do his homework.

His work is pushing a narrative, because with psychology, there is no actual empirical data to stratify with. We are all unique, with our own minds, feelings and hearts, and as such, it is impossible to classify anyone in anything other than the broadest terms. All psychologists do is help is with our feelings. To express ourselves so we can "talk it out." But that is it. They have no real clinical powers. They can't admit someone to a hospital, they can only refer. They can't classify someone as a danger to self or others and place them on a 72-hour hold in a psychiatric facility. They can't prescribe medications.

Don't get me wrong, psychologists have their uses. But trying to steer racial views isn't one of them. He is way outside of his lane.

Oh, and as for his Green Gang? Yeah. Collective morons. Using EVs is actually making the climate worse globally. Mainly in China. Look into it. Lithium mining is a hugely bad deal. Solar? Great! Wind technology? Helpful. But changing the global ecology is not possible. The world has gone through cycles like this for eons. Ask an archeologist.

I am interested in bringing here the points of view of a part of medical science, even the most controversial ones. Which does not mean that I share them. It is possible that I agree with them only in part or that they offer me elements for reflection.

I have also removed my discussions when I received private messages from people asking me how to have their testicles removed at home or suggestions on how to adopt other behaviors with which one can cause irreversible damage to one's body.

As I have already written, I believe in the scientific data from which it emerges that whites are only, to quote the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, not a race but paled men, whose phenotypes (see R1 and J2) are present in Africa, for example among the Fulani peoples and the so-called black Arabs.

I encourage the idea of discussion medical scientific findings. Psychology, while can be considered medical, isn't really scientific. Science is being able to quantify things. The human mind is beyond measure, and in some cases, beyond comprehension. Because looking at my kids make me wonder how in the world can they possibly be thinking the stuff that comes out of their mouths!
