INTRODUCTION The Creation of Racism 3 IMPORTANT FACTS

For centuries, psychiatry and psychology have provided the “scientific” justification for racism.

1 The emergence of racism was certain to happen considering the basic philosophies that govern the psychiatric and psychological 2 professions. The first is the “survival of the fittest” principle, which underlies the psychiatric eugenics (racial “improvement”) movement; the other is the psychiatric idea that man is merely an animal. Together they form a mentality that breeds anti-social theories and attitudes, including racist ones.

In 1883, British psychologist Francis Galton created the term “eugenics,” from the Greek word 3 eugenes, meaning “good stock,” and defined certain racial groups as “inferior.”

Through their history of invented racial “diseases,” psychiatry and psychology have not only 4 legitimized modern racism, but also provided the justification for outright genocide.

For over 200 years racist theories such as those promoted by psychiatrist Benjamin Rush and psychologist Francis Galton (top right) have been used to justify discrimination. CHAPTERThe History ofONE ‘Scientific’ Racism

She stated that reaching Blacks “through a religious appeal,” would be the “most successful educational approach.”28 As recently as 1994, Charles Murray and Lewis Terman Richard Herrnstein’s book The Bell Curve arrogant- ly and audaciously claimed that African-Americans and Hispanics do worse than Whites in intelligence tests, are “genetically disabled” and therefore can- not cope with the demands of modern society.29 In an argument similar to those made by early advocates of “racial purity,” Herrnstein, a psychol- ogist, claimed that Americans were becoming more stupid with each generation, and advocated selec- tive breeding to prevent human “residue” from coming into existence.30 Through their history of invented racial “dis- eases,” arbitrary judgments on “better stock” and bogus scientific claims like “lower IQ” and “racial inferiority,” psychiatry and psychology have not only legitimized 19th, 20th and 21st century racism, but also provided the reason for outright genocide. IMPORTANT FACTS

In 1895, Swiss-German psychiatrist Alfred Ploetz published his theories about eugenics and race inferiority, 1 coining the word Rassenhygiene (racial hygiene) and providing the “biological foundations” for the Holocaust.

In 1920, German psychiatrist Alfred Hoche published a book, Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life, wherein he 2 demanded euthanasia be conducted on “mental defectives.”

The eugenics movement fueled the Ku Klux Klan’s resurrection in the early 3 1900s in the U.S. South African psychiatrists and psychologists offered the government a “scientific” 4 means by which to deny black South Africans employment and education and to tear apart their families.

Tens of thousands of black South Africans were incarcerated in psychiatric 5 camps during the apartheid era, used for slave labor and allowed to die from untreated medical conditions.

Staff picked Bennett to be segregated from the rest of the patients. He became more upset. The staff then pinned him face down on the floor for 25 minutes. He screamed, “Get off me, get off me, I can’t breathe. Get off my throat. … They are going to kill me.” His screams were ignored. Then they stopped—David was dead. A May 2001 coroner’s inquest determined “A ccidental Death Aggravated by Neglect.” David Bennett’s family requested and obtained a government inquiry into his death. This resulted in a February 2004 report that painted a bleak pic- ture of “institutional racism” in the country’s men- tal health system.

At the time of the killings, Harris was also taking an antidepressant known to cause aggressive behavior. Eric Harris

Dylan Klebold IMPORTANT FACTS

All psychiatric and psychological racist influence —in our courts, police departments, prisons, schools 1 and universities—must be eradicated so that it can never again be used to oppress and degrade individuals.

A proper, non-psychiatric, medical examination must be conducted to determine if an undiagnosed physical problem 2 is causing any person’s unwanted behavior.

The psychiatric profession has a profit interest in ensuring that racist ideas continue to 3 influence our society. The way to ensure freedom from their consequences is to continue to identify and limit the influence of the exact source of this social poison—psychiatrists and psychologists.

CHAPTER FOUR Creating a Better Future 26 RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations

If you are a parent or grandparent, and regardless of your race, speak with your child’s teacher and ensure that the child fully understands his or her educational materials, has been taught phonics and is able to use a 1 simple dictionary in class to fully define and understand words. Insist upon a tutor—not drugs—to address educational problems.

If your child is exhibiting behavioral or other problems, you need to find a competent and caring non-psychiatric physician who can conduct a thorough physical exam to determine whether an untreated physical 2 condition is the cause of the problem.

While CCHR does not provide legal advice, with the help of competent legal counsel, you can prevent psychiatrists and psychologists 3 from taking away your parental rights and forcing your children to be placed on powerful psychiatric drugs. CCHR can assist you with this.

If you are aware of a psychiatrist or psychologist abusing a friend, family member or neighbor, file a complaint to the police against any 4 offending psychiatrist and his or her hospital, associations and teaching institutions. CCHR can assist you.

If you do have a problem, talk to someone you trust—a parent, brother or sister, teacher, minister, or a friend. Get real help, not psychiatric 5 and psychological betrayal.

Ultimately, psychiatry and psychology must be eliminated from all educational, prison, judicial and other social systems and their coercive 6 and unworkable methods should never be funded by the State.
