Trapped in a History They Do Not Understand: The Consequences of Racial
Privilege for White Americans (from event promo) This presentation examined
the ways in which racism and racial privilege damage the emotional, psychological,
political, cultural, and economic well being of most whites, even as they
provide whites with benefits (in relative terms) vis-à-vis people of color.
The unintended "collateral damage" of privilege to whites must be understood

Despite a public image of benevolence, psychiatry and mental health care
have intimate historic ties to racist eugenics, the Holocaust, human experimentation,
political repression, and brutal treatments. Unless we remember and understand
this disturbing legacy, we will fail to see the ways it continues today.
Presented by The
Freedom Center, a group of people diagnosed with severe mental
illnesses such as bipolar, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorders
who work to provide alternatives to the mainstream system.
This panel discussion and community dialog addresses the origins of the
biomedical model of psychiatry, the use of mental patients in government
funded mind control experiments, the connection between German Nazi psychiatrists
and the American Psychiatric Association, and the implications of the
Bush Administration’s “New Freedom Commission” mental health policy.

at Hampshire College event: Understanding Fascism -- (From Promo) "Very
few voices are calling out the severity of what is taking place. Many
say the system simply needs some fine tuning, or corporations need to
be reigned in a little bit. None tackle the historical reality and the
economics as directly and powerfully as Dr. Michael Parenti...
Michael
Parenti states that the ruling class desires "Above all to
seek a wealth distribution that is markedly, steeply unequal. (To) increase
that portion of the gross national income that is unearned income (from
investments) And decrease that portion that is earned through wages, saleries,
fees and pensions."
