[quote=Liebling:-)));846861]Speaking of AG Bell and Hilter being mentioned in one article..I found this. Very interesting...

Kalalau's Korner: As KKK is to White Supremacy, So is AGB to Hearing Supremacy

"Those who believe as I do, that

the production of a defective race

of human beings would be

a great calamity to the world,

will examine carefully the causes

that lead to the intermarriage

of the deaf with the object

of applying a remedy ."

- Alexander Graham Bell


Whereas the Ku Klux Klan’s (KKK’s) long history of violence grew out of the resentment and hatred many white Southerners felt toward Blacks, the Alexander Graham Bell (AGB) folks had recently launched the complete intolerance of deafness and the resentment of sign languages of all the Deaf. Alexander Graham Bell called Deaf people "a defective race of human beings," and he began a racism--a hate crime.

We the Deaf are now faced with a new struggle against widespread linguistic racism. The menace of AGB folks is now peaking, and they are collecting supporters from people, especially those with cochlear implants, in expropriating the Deaf babies from sign language and distributing “hearing supremacy.” It is better to hear than to be Deaf.

Today it seems incredible that an organization so bigot, so opposed to the American principles of justice and equality, could be regarded such respect. How did the AGB as one of the nation’s prejudice groups so instantly sized the world of medicine and education?

American Sign Language (ASL) is all around us. ASL classes are more demanding than ever before. More and more Americans are learning ASL. But many folks learn, often through AGB, to be intimidated by the world of sounds; they fear ASL is encrypted in a secret code they never got access to.

AGB is a hate group; they hate that Deaf babies do not hear. They hate that we use ASL. They hate to be asked about ASL, too! I hope this blog, “As KKK is to White Supremacy, so is AGB to Hearing Supremacy,” dispels the false notion that there is a society of hearing people who have a hold on the “right” way to hear, to speak, to live, and to make meanings. AGB must be stopped!

Carl,

Well said! You got it exactly right that AGB advocate to eradicate ASL and I am adding Deaf. I am surprised that Deaf and HOH AGB members are supporting this concept as if AGB is to destroy their Deaf members and supporters just like KKK wanted to destroy other races as well as Deaf people. This is what many other oralist supporters as well as Moogs who wanted to destroy ASL and Deaf people.

This is a good way to use media to educate the public. It is like we are going back to Nazi and KKK period all over again. What are they trying to do to us? Are they afraid that we are as equal as they (hearing people) are?

Not only AGB. There are elitists, influenced by Aristotle, Plato, Hitler, and others who want to dwell in a utopia with "perfect" people. Aristotle told the Greek government to dump deaf people in the forest. Even in the 21st century (2001), North Korea's president Kim Jong II transports deaf people to the remotest villages and lets them starve to death.

They feel that deaf people are a burden to the government in general and taxpayers in particular. See utopism in Plato's "Republic". Again, Nietzsche's "Thus Spake Zarathusthra" (Aryanism in ancient Iran (Persia).

Why?

Simply put: they have no SENSO COMUNE! They do not know that deaf people are educable! Alas!
