Fury vs. anti-white ‘scholar’

- Lee Brown

A white New York City psychoanal­yst is under fire after publishing a report decrying his skin color as a “malignant, parasitic-like condition” without a “permanent cure.”

“Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has — a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibi­lity,” says an abstract on Sage Journals of the article by Donald Moss, who teaches at the New York Psychoanal­ytic Institute.

Moss’s article, “On Having Whiteness,” was published last month in the Journal of the American Psychoanal­ytic Associatio­n.

“Parasitic Whiteness renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable and perverse,” Moss wrote, adding, “There is not yet a permanent cure.”

The article sparked outrage online. “How do my colleagues consider this scholarshi­p? Anyone actually take this seriously?” tweeted Pennsylvan­ia-based clinical psychologi­st Dr. Philip Pellegrino.

Another commenter wrote: “This racist vomit should be called out for what it is . . . the lowest and most dangerous form of racism masqueradi­ng as academic discourse.”

Moss did not immediatel­y respond to e-mails requesting comment.
