The links you provided are for body part repairs like fixing or restoring hearing loss.
ReplyDeleteHow can you fix something that is internal like "Deaf Within?" The Deaf Mind within includes, deafhood, deaf identity and deaf pride and etc.?
This is not something you can decipher by saying we will fix or restore your hearing and then the changed world is back to normal. When you have the Deaf identity (The Deaf Mind) inside and that is more powerful than just assuming that they need to have their ear parts fixed.
The most powerful inner core that makes up “DEAF” beings (The Deaf Mind) is made up with a certain traits that earned through the Deaf experience and nothing else.
Not many people can understand this because they do not have that “Deaf” (The Deaf Mind) experience and this is what separates the DEAF from deaf.
The deaf wants their hearing fixed and will agree majority with your links you posted; however, the DEAF Mind will not agree because of the Deaf flame is already lit inside them and will not succumb to any form of cure or restoration of hearing.
It may sound absurd, again, this is what I mean, and you need the Deaf experience in order to understand the entire being, (The Deaf Mind).
Well all these things are being suggested, but I don't see many 'cures' happening as yet ! what undermines the deaf community, is the deaf not anyone else. Addressing 'deafness' and its implication has always happened. For the deaf adult it's no change, they have the means to refuse to participate. Whether the deaf community is evolving is a debate in itself, all you have suggested is a complete fragmentation of it is happening and it's unapposed...

UGH! JUST GO TO HELL!
ReplyDeleteStephen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your piece. I always encourage feedback like yours.
Theres 2 schools for the deaf kids in Orange County. Taft and San Marino.
Taft is probably the last of the deaf culture elementary schools in the southland.
San Marino is very different.
The students at San Marino are being reared in an oral environment devoid of sign language. The students there are almost like hearing students. They have no sense of 'The Deaf Mind' and most of them want nothing to do with it either.
There is no 'DEAF flame' in them.
Some of these kids went to our Coldstone Ice Cream Socials and you can actually see it on their faces that they want nothing to do with the deaf community.
Richard
Why would they go to the deaf social if they want nothing to do with deaf people?
ReplyDeleteBecause we didn't advertise it as a 'deaf social' in the flyers handed out at the school.
ReplyDeleteRichard
There is a compromise here and this is what David Eberwein has mentioned in many of his vlogs. The compromise is DeafHood and the process of being can take place also there is no need for them to drop their identity. They can be an oralist and participate in the Deaf world which is a very good thing because it enables both worlds to unite.
ReplyDeleteEberwein has also explained that DeafHood is about inclusion of various of hearing loss. This is better than being divided and being united is the best interest of DeafHood.
In this point, DeafHood concept is the correct path to follow.
I think this is so STUPID!
ReplyDeleteDE can rant all about 'inclusion' he wants to but does the deaf community really understand what 'inclusion' means? I THINK NOT.
ReplyDeleteAsk Dr Rachel Stone if she understood what it means when she was the Super of CSDR.
Ask the Gallaudet protesters if they understood what 'inclusion' means.
Take a look at the Ohio school for the deaf and see the opposition in merging a deaf school with a school for the blind.
The deaf community, particularly the ASL extremists in power, never understood what 'inclusion' means and never wanted to either.
Richard
Ahh you underestimate what deaf people understand. Of course they do. What's your real view of deaf people's intelligence?
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to walk in both shoes to understand and I don't think you have.
It don't even take a rocket scientist to estimate their understanding by looking at their actions.
ReplyDeleteRichard
DEAF MILITARY?? BECAREFUL DEAF NAVY USA WILL GET YOU TO BOOTS CAMP ????
ReplyDeleteOh brother.
ReplyDeleteThis article has been written by a guy that constantly leapfrogs between pro-Deaf statements and Anti-Deaf statements.
Richard, if you were writing from the perspective of somebody that has just "accepted" his/her perceived notions of how things truly are for the Deaf community, then you are totally foolish & ignorant.
Richard, if you are writing from the perspective of somebody that is just plain ignorant, then you need to understand that you never had a "Deaf Self".
Those that are "flaming Deaf", they are so as a result of the oppression that they have experienced- nothing more.
If you want to sit by yourself and do bukkae, jerk off to porno videos, be an asshole, and the such- then you are welcome to do so.
At least please just have the decency to shut the hell up and stop being such an anus.
BS all you want dude. It's going to bite you all back.
ReplyDeleteRichard
I have seen that Deaf Education with ASL program has improved greater than 1970's & 1980's. There were a very small group of educated Deaf people in twenty or thirty years ago. Today, the number of educated Deaf people who uses ASL is growing. Can you explain to that?
ReplyDeleteso you think you know everything dont you.. well im guessing you are one of those ignorant hearing persons that think you know everything.. well guess waht punk i hope u go soooo deaf nothing works for you and you will be screwed to the "deaf world" and just realize how much respect there is for those born and happy to be. then when we make you learn to lip read sucker ull figure it out! burn in hell!!!! by the way i have the implant ooo happy? and iprefer deaf world because that way im not beingsomething im NOT i am being ME!!!

ReplyDeleteHey Anonymouses, Obviously, you all are real coward for hiding your desk and typing the keyboards without real ID. Disgust!! Let's facing your real ID. Anti-Deaf people are definitely Nazi/Evil minded! God did make the deaf kids on the earth. AG Bell Association is Evil Empire, it was founded by Satan.
