~ SHOW ME DEAF COMMUNITY ~ by Paul J Kiel

Show Me Deaf Community is a b/vlog about what I see and what the Deaf Community show me in daily life. The author is a.k.a. Deaf Advocate on other blogs. He believes in Deaf Advocacy and the rights of the Deaf in all aspects of life from birth to grave. It is a human right and a testimony to facts of life affecting the deaf community. He firmly believes in Laurent Clerc and his contributions to the New World. George Veditz is another one! He predicted videophones in 1913!

"Audism spreads while good Deaf people do nothing!"

Suffice to say, this video is a powerful one. We need to combat audism now! Copy this url and paste in your browser.

It is good video. It is already happening globally. It is those who act like ostriches and kept sticking their heads in the ground. I have rattled my saber for years and years warning that the tide of audism was approaching in our communities from sea to shining sea including the global communities.

We need to pull up our sleeves and work harder to combat audism.

It means taking extreme measures and enact tougher laws and policies to add more teeth to protect our proud culture.

It also means kicking ass with your deaf friends who keep waffling and who have "do nothing" attitude.

I have said this quote before and I will repeat - "Audism spreads while good Deaf people do nothing!"
