Medical School To Host Course With Activist Who Said ‘White People Are Psychopaths’

The University of California San Francisco School of Medicine is hosting a continuing education course for doctors run by a left-wing activist who said that “white people are psychopaths” because of their “evolutionary history.”

The course, which costs $575 per attendee and is titled “Understanding the Roots of Racism and Bias: Anti-Blackness, and Its Links to Whiteness, White Racism, Privilege, and Power,” will be administered by DEI consultant and anti-white activist Dante King. King previously gave a speech at UCSF titled “diagnosing whiteness,” in which he claimed that “whites are psychopaths” because of their “evolutionary history.”

“Whites are psychopaths and their behavior represents an underlying, biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history,” King said.

“How many of you can see the proclivity that evolved deep within the evolutionary history of Whiteness by show of hands? How many of you could see it? Some people are sitting here, ‘Oh no, I don’t want to raise my hand,’ that’s called denial.”

.@UCSF invited Dante King to speak on “Diagnosing Whiteness.”

He claims that “whites are psychopaths” and that white people “have it written in the law you can rape black women.” He also makes excuses for black teenagers who commit violent crimes.

“I’m not seeking agreement from white people at all. I don’t prioritize whiteness or white people,” he went on to say, also claiming that “anti-blackness is … the foundation of all white American institutions.”

A representative for King did not respond to a media inquiry asking if he stood by his comments.

King’s course counts for Continuing Education Credit, which physicians are required to obtain in order to maintain their licenses. The course’s objectives are for participants to “understand racism as psychological, sociological, and legal, as the main property and function of government, governance, and culture” and “develop individual and organizational anti-racist strategies and practices.”

The DEI agenda has been embedded in the medical field through the push for “health equity,” which presupposes that discrepancies between the rates at which different racial groups experience health complications are due to racism.

Attendees of the February course will be taught how to “begin thinking about anti-racist processes, policies, and programs to lead actionable change” and “develop awareness and make connections about institutional, structural, systemic, systematic, and interpersonal racism (as White supremacy culture and anti-Blackness culture).”

Dr. Jared Ross, a Senior Fellow at Do No Harm, told The Daily Wire why he believes the upcoming course is so detrimental to the medical field.

“It is disheartening to see UC San Francisco, a taxpayer-funded state institution, promoting racism to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals under the guise of continuing medical education,” Ross told The Daily Wire. “This 16-hour course has nothing to do with providing excellent medical care. Instead, it uses debunked pseudoscientific research to promote radical ideologies such as implicit bias, racial justice, and social equity.”

“This course encourages racial segregation, erodes patient-physician trust, and degrades the rigor of medical education by taking the focus away from the individual patient and instead defining people by immutable characteristics.”

King’s most recent work appears to indicate that he is doubling down on his past inflammatory claims. King is behind a docuseries called “Diagnosing Whiteness and Anti-Blackness” that focuses on “White Psychopathology, Collective Psychosis & Trauma In America.” Episode one of the 10 part series is called “Whiteness is Delusional,” and it describes whites as both “psychopathic” and “sociopathic.”

The episode description explains that King and his fellow activists “unpack how White racism and anti-Blackness work to the advantage of White people, portraying them as psychopathic, sociopathic, immoral, and delusional in the context of American society.”

Episode six of the series cites “a lack of impulse control” as one of the “key factors that explain White behavior” and argues that “cultural whiteness” can be described through a “new clinical term” that he calls “Malignant Diabolical Psychopathy.”

“None of this should surprise us coming from Dante King, who is well known for his racist diatribes,” Ross said. “UC San Francisco would be better served to focus on teaching evidence-based medicine.”

UCSF did not respond to a request for comment.
