This is just one of more stories of leaders in the deaf communition trying to join richer disability movements.
Most deaf organizations I know are by the way members of major disability right movements, in addition to other movements like World Federation of the Deaf or national deaf assocations, who then again work with national disability movements.
But, nice attempt to bring up other topics by a such inane reply  |
I HAVE heard of this before, on both counts, the sports events and the relationship between deaf movements and disabilty movements. Your reply using inane is just polite way of saying im an idiot, you retard, you dont know the nature of politics and greed, you can get all technical and chronological about these 'published events' you still dont know what you're talking about. I'd tell you that to grasp the sense to realise that not all 'disability movement' are genuine as does some of the deaf organisation. If it looked closer you'd find the administrators are not 'fighting' on our behalf but rather, to climb up their own career ladders often unrelated to the cause.
Very very few organisation are genuine and especially ones those are, -receives minimal fundings, which of course is politically driven by and for those are hearing, and/or abled bodied in power.
As for sports, it is an industry with which 'commitments' has be restricted severed by those controlling the funds where in turn comes from the self-interest. For example, interpreters are greedy, and if you really know disabiliy studies, and what not, you'd understand that interpreters are not the 'not guilty parties' as well as those invovled in administrating these sporting events.
Many Disabled academics do not like disability organisations, for many varied good reasons, obviously you have overlooked that bit, you assumed they all on the same boat, not exactly.
