The black man that one won in the Supreme Court for his people. I wonder you can win? lol
Congrats, you are hero. Some deafies are ignorants and gullible to copycat audists' comments. God bless you and deaf people with truth and bring postive things before our governments.
Yea! I am "SO MUCH" advocating Deaf movement! Very good and point vlog! I know alot of ignorants are ignoring us deaf people...we have to roll up sleeves and move on with actions. Don't sit back and let others fight for us...We stay united together to fight! I already argued with public defender for Shaun, the Deaf father of Emma in demand of him to provide a properly interpreter not signers. I had contacted news stations so now they hold back due to a cancelled schedule. Don't know when!
Wow, it is really good. I do see one or two of deaf members at my working place supporitng hearing when they are supposed to support deaf people. How dumb they are! I will make a vlog about my experience AFTER I leave my job since I cant say more until I am done. Check me out on "Idiot deafies!"
ASLElla, You are so amazing explain to us. One biggest problem for us "Deaf" are not so understand what is "Narcissists and Audist Collaborators" mean so I'm wondering if you can sign to us so we will understand what is mean. Thank you
@fairlakes131 hi. In this vlog, I explained what "audist collaborators" mean. In ASCDeaf vlog by Candace McCullough, she explained what Narcissism mean. Did you see that vlog yet? If still not clear, let me know, and I will be happy to explain more best I can.
Hello Ella, nice vlog but as usual u give the narcissists the attention they need. Cant you IGNORE them? ICED, but no, you got distracted by the Narcissists, even EDHI, then the AB2072 Bill, and you are vlogging and still talking to the Narcissists and trying to hold them responsible! Worry about the CRPD, and worry about Minority Rights a long time ago, and it will apply as you go. SUE ICED!
@Bunjer You are correct. We have been momentarily distracted and now we understand better how to deal with confirmed narcissists by not giving direct attention to them, we know how best to move on, supporting each other. I believe my message here is asking us to re-focus on important issues like ones you mentioned. Thanks for adding that to what I mentioned in my vlog. Any progress on your end about suing those groups?
@ASLElla I think we should sue together internationally thru UN, and hold ICED, AGBELL responsible, and maybe domestically it would kill EDHI, and AB2072.. ICED has long arms, and one going into the United States. ICED is actually an Octopus with long arms, and the longest ones are the tentacles. It goes everywhere! Did you expect me to fight ICED individually? Deafhood can ;)
Oh yes yes yes powerful vlog. It s not the game of losing or winning but to make the decision and take action for the best of our deaf community! Enough is enough is what is written on your face! I also added to Pdurr s vlog the comment for you too. I cant add more to hers. United we stay together and let our skin growing thicker!
It is true. We don't want to be like Uncle Tom Cabin. Over hundred years of removing the stereotype and the black folks have proven they could overcome. Now look at our president. Time has changed. We can do same thing. March on!
Everybody, I truly mean it about taking action. I loved how DPeachLady expressed it in a video comment over at ASLRocks...start with the sign for (2h)altCOMPLAIN, then use same handshape (claw-hands) change to ACTION. I know many of you (and others too) have done real action in our own ways in addition to vlogging and that's great. Thank you when you do that. Make sure to critically examine all actions and decision being made for Deaf people and children. I am with you all, likewise!
Clarification: I am not applying those who do not want to work with us are ones that have narcissistic personality/disorder. Some of them may have it and some don't.
@MeDeafYes oh yes, I believe most if not all of us are well aware of that. That's what I mean when I say we all need to look hard into our hearts whenever we make statements/vlogs/actions.... was it out of selfish intentions or was it a calling? We need each other to keep balance and grounded...but if we start disregarding other people's concerns and feedback for lousy or destructive reasons, we are in big trouble.
made an asl reply over in pdurr - not sure why it doesnt link here
basically said THANK YOU for your passion, courage, faith, empowerment, critical thinking, open heart, etc etc. also bit about eyes on the prize / forward march
Part One: We as a community need to IGNORE Barry and others who do not want to work with us. He and others do not upset me anymore. I stopped leaving comments under Barry's blog two years ago. I always tell myself how sorry I feel for them. Anyone who has narcissistic personality love getting attention and is a great manipulator too. ACSDEAF advised the best thing to do is to run away from them. They will never change.
Part Two: Barry was asked not to mention DBC so he changed shift and bashed DBC in Deafread. Tayler has not stopped him from accusing other organizations too. Barry has accused DBC, Deafhood, AFA and now NAD. Unfortunately, Tayler approved and supported Barry to bash organizations---our community on almost daily basis for the past two years. DVTV and Deafread are good examples of mask of benevolence websites.
@MeDeafYes I'd like to point out that I believe those with "masks of benevolence" are those who RUN our systems, i.e. Karl White. Even tho DR and DVTV are "systems" basically run by one person, Tayler, he's still disfranchised as a Deaf individual...well his comments and actions reflect that...like the unbelievable one about Karl White. He does SEEMS to be blind or paralyzed about certain things and lost the compassion/common sense to stand up against audist & -isms.
Part Three: Deafread and DVTV welcome Deaf and ASL and when they remove their mask...they welcome audism, bashing, false information and etc. If we think about it...only EXTREMELY small number of people that want to tear us down. We are not in danger of losing good fighters. We indeed are doing exceptionally well. We have trials and errors and what is wrong with that? Trials and errors will help us to become stronger voice for our rights.
Oh my. I felt like I am in the same room with you.
You are right. Nothing seems to be helpful since then - quit talking and do what's right in our hearts, for example, fight for Emma's right as well as others.
@allisonpeace thanks so much for jumping in the fight for Emma's and Shaun's rights. Another issue we need to keep an eye on the next few months is the ICED apology. Seems they are hem-hawing on that and wanting to add the red flag of "communication options"...that's an alert! I know, it feels like we are being scattered, but with right coordination, we should be able to at least make big dents!
VERY powerful vlog and right to the point!! I'm with you all, ALL THE WAY IN!! This is our time to jump out of our slumbering days and come out like some flowers in the spring, tall and beautiful! There will be some that will try to demean us, push us down, make us doubt...YET that is part of life, we MUST fight THRU obstacles and not giving up! Be of great courage and fight on! I'm with you, Ella and everyone who's in this fight! Love ya guys/gals!!
ASLElla, I'm with you and others in fighting for justice and equalness for all of us! I spoke out in Candy's blog about the bill 2070, it was extremely frustrating, I got stepped over and simply ignored. Of course, I was dismayed to rread/watch some blogs/vlogs that are demeaning to our fight. However, I was heartened to watch Patti Durr's letter of cease and know that it is making us even more stronger to fight back. Thank you Ella for inspiring us even more again.
@deafmommy I noticed when I decided to check out Candy's blog that you stood up and were courageous there. Don't lose heart. You sure did RIGHT! It's them who have problems trying to distract many of us from the real fight...I do wonder why she and a few others seem SO INVESTED in creating confusion and chaos about AB2072. Shows she's NOT respecting Deaf justice at all. Once again THANK YOU for what you did.
My fist in air as in "YES!" Collaborators are guilty by association especially in this upcoming "second-wave" of Oralism. Laugh all you want, but the tsunami is coming. We are standing at the very beginning of the new Dark Age. Come and join our fight for equality and optimize access to ASL for Deaf children or continue to laugh and mock, think yourself.
@aslnikki Will love more discussion on "collaborators" so all of us be well aware of the destruction those of us who choose the path of collaborators...the pain is far worse than those hearing audists. We have to be well aware of that. We will have to be "firm with love", "challenge" with compassion, but not stop or stoop low to those folks. Part of a revolution it seems. Happens to other minority groups too. Sigh.
(had to re-post) as it seems it didn't go thru. <3 LOVE <3 this VLOG! I'm IN! Yes, I agree need to turn this ANGER into something and go for it !! Thank you For this VLOG! I'm IN!!
Yes yes! Loved this vlog! I want people to have the mind like you! Excellent vlog.
Of course, we won't let other people put us down and we must work together to fight them off. :-) I am part of this and will never let them put me down.
Time for us to lay down our spears and stand tall... let's walk together and fight against their faulty thoughts about us... against systematic audism. We are something, not defective people but each individual as a whole person ... who has a purpose in life.
Dear Ella, your vlog enhances me and others into the likes of same hand, heart and mind. I'm getting weary of being 'neutral' due to this and that. I acknowledge that it's time for us the heart of deaf community to move toward to the betterment, especially in our deaf children's education. However... that's where I feel stuck - let's talk more.
@ASLKimber Please indeed let's talk more...I know it's very hard for you in your position so I do admire your deep reflections and being open for further dialogue. Let me know when and how you want that to happen.
Well said! I will be with you to fight against those people oppressed us, cut the Deaf and ASL program, etc. It is very value for us to keep ASL as language and culture as live! Good vlog.
So powerful that penetrates viewers!!! Agree that we need to leave those Deafs who are against us, in the dust and let them watch our march. They will thank us one day as the blacks who chose not to fight, thanking their fellow blacks who FOUGHT.
Ella, I second you! We have to learn ignore Barry's crabby and grumpy over our successful deafhood. Do not let us wasting our time with his pay attention. Let God take care of Barry's life not ours!
Powerful & heart-felt message. Yes! Lets push for our justice, equal, and respect NOW. Audist collaborators shall be left in the dust and bemoaning eternity.
