Why did hearing people take over Deaf community?

I watched the YouTube video. That is very interesting why hearing people are taking over as if we are children. We can manage and do better than hearing people. We can take care of ourselves and do the things like hearing people do whether at home or at work or at College, and whatever. No matter if other people who have disabilities like blind, disabled on wheelchair, mental retardent, or relying handicapped along with deafness. We are not perfect but we make the best we can do to adapt to the environment as long as we have a good brain on our shoulder. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how to live our own lives. Yes, the hearing people should leave us alone and not say that we can not do this or do that. As for teaching the ASL, the hearing people should not take over unless they ask us for permission to teach the ASL. Gawd, we are not children. Will the hearies going to stop this nonsense of trying to take over? They need to stop this behavior and smell the coffee. :mad2:
 
Its all based on the concept of paternalism. Hearing people have to take care of deaf people because they can't hear, so it must mean that they are not as capable as hearing people. So the hearing have to step in and tell them what is good for them, because they can't possiblly know for themselves.:rl: And be sure to eat your vegetables and brush your teeth after every meal.:giggle:
 
I see your point of view. Remember we are just as stubborn as they are and sometimes we just give up having our self esteem become low self esteem. There is no encouragement or positive to raise our self esteem to become a intelligent and function Deaf person. I like the last if someone told us to eat our vegetables and brush our teeth after our meal. That is funny. :giggle: But again it is not funny, when hearing people are trying to make us as small as possible like children. That is very serious abuse.
 
This crap pisses me off to no end.

Hearing actors in Hollywood who have the knowledge of ASL are stealing jobs from deaf actors. Plus the Directors loves hearing actors over deaf actors because it's less time consuming and cheaper than to hire an interpreter for the deaf actors.

It's plain wrong and this needs to stop. Don't these hearing actor realize what they are doing? Don't they have a conscience??

*sighs!*

Yes it is. But it is also absurd that hearing people should still have such an idea.

IMO,they simply do not stop and think about the ethical implications of their behavior.

Ya think?

What gets me is that all this hard work they had put into acting classes and the money they spent on the hope of landing some part in Hollywood.

Then they find out that Hollywood is hiring hearing actors w/ the knowledge of ASL, suddenly, they see their training & hard work being flushed down the toilet. :mad:
