is it ok for a sighted person to offer help to the blind or is that offensive?

@TommyEdisonXP How do you answer comments?

The first time I was with my blind student when he was learning to cross the street by himself I was nearly having a heart attack. The biggest problem wasn't the blind kid crossing the street, it was the people turning right that weren't watching. I totally agree that all traffic lights should either have a tone or a verbal countdown that let's the visually impaired know when it's safe to cross. Watching Tommy almost get flatened by that car definitley brought back memories.

@cherfer Good question. I'd be worried about not offering to help and worried about being bitchslapped for offering. XD
-
@MarcLloydZ blind people don't type they have computers that talk to them then they speak the responses :)
-
@cherfer Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Tommy?
-
@axsmith234 he has computer software that reads to him and he speaks back to it

Holy crap! At 01:40 some dude in a compact blue car makes a right hand turn and he's in front of Tommy in Tommy's path! What a reckless little moron!

My mom and one of my best friends are blind. I know what they need and what they want. They need and want, respect. And our love.

These people inspire me ...these blind people. I mean I couldn't imagine myself being blind forever just think about it...it would be sad to not see the world....and how does he make YouTube videos if he's blind...he's amazing I would be really grumpy wid my life if I was blind
