A Great Darkness Is Coming

 


For a long time, I had been reading and talking with many Deaf individuals throughout the country. Many are not able to have a critical thinking about various things in life and beyond. Because their language was deprived or delayed when they were kids, it may not be their fault. But nevertheless it does not look good for our community at large. 

After seeing the comments left by many others at Facebook Live's The Mavrick Fisher Murder Trial hosted by The Daily Moth and DPAN.TV, I'm disheartened at how horrible the comments were made by Deaf people from all walks of life - from teens to elders. It tells me of a bad omen for our community in the next 50 years. 

As far as I am concerned, Deaf Community is going to face a great darkness and it will mean one thing:  The eradication of Deaf Community, Deaf Culture and yes, sign languages is going to happen no matter how hard you fight. 

Why is that?  It is important to evaluate how Deaf people deals with each other - we simply don't have many great Deaf teachers out there. And it hurts. Many Deaf schools pushed Deaf teachers out and hire these appalling hearing teachers who thinks they're all that shit when they are not. Many Deaf schools will hire Deaf teachers who will not speak their minds to address the issues that may plague the system and so on. 

So yeah, you guys are finished. You won't win this war. 

Cheers,
