Deafhood

The very nature of your blog and your YouTube channel is in itself your own journey into deafhood, Mike. It may not land you within the Deaf culture, but it's still deafhood. Some people are fine just being an inbetweener or a hard-of-hearing, and I suspect you are one of those people once you let the grudges go.

I means... your very first posted vlog, "Adversity," is a hallmark of what deafhood is. Just because you keep denying it to avoid being associated with the big D doesn't means it's not journey finding one's own identity.

Even Barry Sewell's "deafless" concept is deafhood in and of itself.

Oh boy, that question i asked about his audist views? Never mind, Kokonut just answered it himself.
Koko - you just don't get it.

Oh, I get it. I still sign. I still talk. I still listen. I interact. And, yes, discrimination still exists. What more is there to it?
 
"audist views"? just a verbal hammer used to disagree with some persons here. Just ideological thoughts that sound real. Oppression is another one.
Even more fun-completely unconscious!
Right prove otherwise!

Even more fun-completely unconscious! Can't lose with that hammer!

Right prove otherwise! If conscious than one can consider if "valid"?

Except by its very nature and design, DH is geared every thing culturally deaf and its political ideology.

Thanks for the video.

No. The point he made was that we're human beings first rather than make an issue out of deafness. And not succumb to group think.

Mine is based on simple acceptance. Again, focusing on posters to score points now? I don't do that to you but it's ok for you to do so simply because we see things differently?
 
I think it's best if we stop bickering with kokonut because it's precisely what he wants. It reinforces his cynical belief toward deafies - something that he probably developed at Gallaudet University.

We should try and listen to him instead of letting him dismantle your view but the problem is - I don't know exactly what's he preaching about. I don't know what's his stance is. I don't know what's his view is. Let him explain his agenda/view instead of letting him attack your belief and assert himself.

so kokonut - Group Think? DH is geared every thing culturally deaf and its political ideology? Simple Acceptance? Please elaborate more on that.
 
I agree with you Jiro. I'm not responding anymore. It's like talking to a brick wall.

More than you would hope to believe. It's a different world between what you see on the internet and in person.

I'm not sure what that means but that sounds like you're different in person and internet... meaning - in person, you are not what you preached about in internet.

If I'm wrong - can you kindly elaborate more on Group Think? DH is geared every thing culturally deaf and its political ideology? Simple Acceptance?
