Two entries later, my entry will focus on why I am a die-hard of Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld since I was 8. Not only that, I shall explain the concept as well as sharing the tales of Amethyst's struggle to triumph in face of tribulations on Gemworld ... and Earth.

Shame On You, Elena Ruiz!

I would like to let you all know that my previous vlog, 3-13-2013 Vlog which has garnered more than 3,000 views.  It has been taken down by YouTube after a certain person flagged it repeatedly. Judging the comment that was shared with me from YouTube, the comments sounds like it came from Elena Ruiz. Since I exposed Elena Ruiz's antics in the previous vlog, she was active in trying to silence me.  But I'm much sure Heather Grizzle played a small role in this as well.

My previous was about Heather Grizzle, the so-called Jabba the Hutt who tried to pass herself off as DeafBlind when she is not like that. Not only that, I also talked about Dr. Harold Mowl who runs Rochester School for the Deaf which over the years, he managed to turn the school into a cesspool with 8 speech therapists and zero ASL specialists/teachers. Plus, I also talked about Clyde Catron as well. Not only that, I also ridiculed Kat Brockway which I do not need to get in details as well. One word for her:  Schadenfreude. I also exposed Joseph Chen's racist approach via Facebook. In addition, I pointed out that Leala Holcomb equals Hypocrisy mainly because she does abuse the privilege as we speak. And last, I talked about the extremist in Elena Ruiz who is famous for painting white people as evil, painting her exes as the ones who raped her when they realized that she's not their suitable choice all along. I also mentioned that Elena was the one who tried to use the Judicial Affairs to silence a certain friend of mine but my friend hired an attorney who eventually forced Elena to drop the charges.

This country is based on freedom of speech, I recognized that. But unfortunately, YouTube is a private entity which means it has the rights to restrict the freedom of speech whenever they wish. That is when Deaf people like Kat Brockway, Joseph Chen, Heather Grizzle and/or Elena Ruiz attempting to use YouTube to silence the others. That is when I cringed the most.

Amusing is it?  Shameful.

Here is my suggestion:  If you want to retaliate on these people, flag DYUSA's vlogs as hate-filled violence.  That may do the trick to silence Elena Ruiz's continued hateful comments upon the majority as whole.  That would teach the DYSA members that they should not censor people's thoughts and feelings even if they disagreed with them as whole.

Cheers,

FRC & Dr. Angela McCaskill.

Last October, 2012 - the social conservative but incredibly anti-gay, bigoted organization named Family Research Council (FRC) supported Gallaudet's Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Angela McCaskill when it emerged that she signed the anti-gay petition to force the already passed marriage equality bill onto the referendum.

When Dr. McCaskill held a press conference, the representatives of Family Research Council stood next to her. Dr. Angela McCaskill had the nerve to thank the FRC for their support. FRC has been classified as a hate group by Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). It is obvious that Dr. McCaskill is clueless about the FRC's background at that time.

This woman has a doctorate degree, for chrissakes! This raised a legitimate question - does this woman keep up with the current events? To me, it is unlikely. Any sane person with doctorate degree would not thank nor stand next to the hate group in FRC. But Dr. McCaskill did.

That moment when Dr. McCaskill defied the Deaf GLBT people by thanking the FRC, it is much worse than just a slap on our faces. It is like she spat, slapped & punched in our faces, really!

Now the FRC has made another headline as of today, the FRC said it is OK to kidnap the children away from their gay parents. See this link for further details.

Yes, the very same group that Dr. McCaskill thanked at her press conference last October.  Yes, Gallaudet's own Chief Diversity Officer Dr. McCaskill, really! I should mention that the so-called Chief Diversity Officer was supposed to have a community dialogue with Gallaudet's GLBT students, faculty & staff since she was reinstated last January. But she cancelled it twice as of far. It is such a shame that this clueless woman who has a doctorate degree used the press conference to thank a hate group for supporting her. Imagine thanking Ku Klux Klan at her own press conference for supporting her, really.

That! That! That!

That should tell you enough about her warped vision of diversity, really.

Cheers,

Who Is Racist Pig? His Name Is Joseph Chen

I'm not crazy about Facebook mainly because the company grew so fast to a point where it lost the control of what's going on with its users. For example, I had been suspended for fifth time - all of them were done by retaliation by others when I called them out publicly. But this is a tale that will be told soon but not today.

I have more than 1,500 "friends" - I'm sure, the majority of them are lurkers, fans, haters and shit like that. It takes time for me to trim who's who but it ain't easy. It is never comfortable to reject or eliminate humans but sometimes it is necessary. 

I have more than 150 "friend requests". Since I'm suspended (Gee whiz, you can thank Julia Silvestri for that one), I am unable to accept, decline, remove or block anyone on my friends list as well as friend requests. 

However, I'm going to talk about this particular weirdo kid from Indiana School for the Deaf. His name is Joseph Chen. He is a senior at ISD. Oh, I can talk about him if I want to. Why? Because he is 18. Anyway, few weeks ago, he sent the "friend request" to me via Facebook. At that time, I was suspended from Facebook and you can thank Maria Dollhopf for that. 

Joseph was on my friends list until I removed him last summer after I found out that it was him who engaged in malicious trolling upon me and my friends. So he was kicked out so fast. I have no tolerance for people like that. I also found out that he is infamous for impersonating people's user names to create the problems.
Fast forward to two weeks ago, he sent me the friend request?  No thanks. No way. 

Then today, I got this message from Joseph Chen via Facebook inbox which is quite disturbing thing to see. You see, he sent this message to tell me to approve him as a friend. And he used the n-word. Joseph is not African-American. He is Asian-American. And he used this to address me like that?  Joseph Chen, you are not cool. You are a racist pig. You have no right to use or throw the n-word around liberally. What you did was juvenile and you should be ashamed of yourself.

UPDATE:  Since I posted this entry, Joseph Chen has continued to spew hateful comments via emails. Grow up, little deformed boy!!

Kudos to California School for the Deaf in Fremont!

More than 2 years ago, I made a vlog under (6-24-2010 Tidbits, it started from 00:00 to 05:35) which I talked about the need of having our own symbols that ultimately reflect the true beliefs, mission and social values within our communities across the country and beyond.


Not a long time ago, I was thrilled when I saw the vlog by CSD-Fremont's Superintendent Sean Virnig announcing that CSD will develop and pick the logo that ultimately represents its beliefs, mission and values as well as reflecting the school, community and alumni as well. Obviously, Supt. Virnig saw the need of having a logo mainly because he knew that having a logo/symbol will make a huge impact on people outside of Fremont.

I must congratulate the CSD community in Fremont for doing the impossible task but they successfully pulled this one extremely well.  They saw the need of having a logo that represents the school, with its beliefs, mission and values.  After a brief setback which Elena Ruiz and her so-called Bay Area DYUSA puppets protested the original logos because they argued that the logo with the famous Bear Hunt Statue is racist, demeaning, violent and cultural appropriations to an extent.

This led to CSD's decision to dump the original logos and he turned to its student body to come up with their logo vision.  Then everyone gets to vote on the logos that were created by its students at CSD. 

They chose this particular logo because it fits with CSD's Motto:  Learn, Experience, Thrive. If you look at the logo itself, you'll see that it has 3 images on it (two gray, 1orange) - that represents its motto perfectly ... in ASL.

It is gorgeous!  It is fantastic!  I hope other schools will follow what CSD Fremont did.  Kudos to Supt. Virnig, Wayne Betts Jr, its students, its staff, its faculty, its alumni and beyond as well for doing the right thing!

Once again, congratulations!

Cheers,
