There are pejorative term out there known as 'white trash' and 'black trash' that led me to think about the existence of 'deaf trash' within the deaf community. Is it the reason why places like DeafVideo.tv has become what it is today, attracting socially isolated and financially poor deaf people with low social skills and living standards? Thus the birth of 'deaf trash' made visible for the rest of the world to see? It seem to be my greatest fear but then I know it's probably beyond me.... meaning it is something I simply can't control.

However it does not stop me from fellowshipping with hope that we'd be able to educate them and help them rise to a new level. But the boiling question is, do I belong there and become one of them? The answer is no. Ask yourself the same question and think about it.

  • Mr. Sewell, did you just decided to come up with the word, "Deaf Trash", for research purpose to observe how the Deaf Internet Community reacted to the terminology and its concepts? Is this what the purpose of the video? If so, that is an interesting concept of research to watch the reactions of how they percieve and respond to the terminology.

  • @WisDeaf Your guess is as good as mine. As I stated in this video it's what I've observed. You want to take it further? Be my guest.

  • pejorative means negative?

  • @hshock24 It also mean "identification of something negative".

  • well, i always watched many vloggers from youtube. they complained about you. i think you insult some dumb deafs. Deaf people who are an intelligent, deaf asl teacher or socials skills, are selfish or no heart. Sorry, i do not mean to insult them,huh.  they should help low functioning any deafies about different subjects. thank you for sharing...

  • Barry....I admire all of ur vlogs. I'd like to get to know u more. Can we communicate thru email and/or vp? Advise. Thanks, Ronnie

  • That was why I didn't come often :)

  • Yes, I like deaf people with well-education background. Please continue videos that I love to watch. :-)

  • I utterly respect your point here...

    How would you feel about educating both deaf and hearing?

    This has been my dream and frankly my life over the past year.

    It's come to pass that I have found a way. I have been building it up non-stop and pour all my efforts and what little I have left over from my disability check each month to bring the dream to life. Deaf, Interpreter, hearing-together, with the ability to interact and share and learn. ~Deaf Log~ It's what members like you would make of it.

  • I AM FIND OUT THAT DEAF TRASH MEANS  A NEGATIVE. IS THAT TRUE??? I AM VERY SHOCKED THAT I CANNOT BELIEVE. NOW I LEARN FROM IT. I AM NOT PART OF DEAF TRASH.

  • Lolz.. Nice smokey hands :)

  • You can see vlog, dreamlighthouse with bad grammer on her video titles who is a TSD teacher for 25 years. I feel so sorry for the deaf students exposing to her bad grammar. She supports ASL and would fight against intelligent deaf people who do not support ASL: all the way educating deaf children. No wonder GB wins most of the time due to deaf teachers with bad grammar like her..

  • nice work with your smoking hands.

  • Agreed your explaining about deaf trash, yeah there is I believe...Thank for explaining clearly...
