So funny. In the 1960s, my family was not 'white'.

Nope, and I'm not black, so I don't try to take someone else's cause and make it mine to be dramatic. If I have an issue - say, my issues with Hispanics in Denver and the struggles with race - then I make it about that issue, not something that Hollywood has glamorized for a couple of bucks...

If you have to say things like "Holocaust" or "Civil Rights" or "Selma" to generate sympathy for your voice off positions, maybe you should re-think your marketing skills and get your own damned language. I believe you have a phrase called 'audism', no? Matt, you know know full well what I...

Thank you for proving my point that you also have no idea what blacks in Mississippi went through in the 60s for being black. ;) It's not a matter of 'not knowing' deaf history. It is a matter of knowing and understanding and respecting the differences of different people as they struggle...

Jillio, you are really rude. If you think this makes you a Champion of All Things Deaf, you are wrong. It makes the Deaf movement look backwards, ignorant and and culture-centric...not to mention the idea that Deaf is a club where cognitive disabilities or alternative parenting isn't allowed...

Yeah, and if Hitler had gotten a little further, I wouldn't be a Jewish woman in Denver. Your point?

If you really are Jewish, you should try to infuse a little bit of chutzpah into your arguments instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks. That's not the Torah way.

Hey Jillio, did you know that apples and oranges are both fruits??

Red herring, DeafCaroline. Either you stop lying about me or you argue a point. If you can't argue a point, don't even bother. My position is that a person who is deaf that wants to articulate and use a speech therapist IS NOT THE SAME FUCKING THING AS A BLACK PERSON TRYING TO MAKE OFF AS...

Whatever happened to the girl is nothing we'll know. But Caylee isn't hurting right now and that's something I think we can all be thankful for.

Please don't say 'sharia' like it's a bad word, and don't say 'Christian sharia' as it just puts forth an impression that you have a distaste for Muslims.

You don't have special claim to the field of linguistics, DeafCaroline. Sorry. You know who else people consider 'slow'? Those who sound like they are from Minnesota or Georgia, or African Americans who use AAVE, or Spanish-speaking or Asian individuals with heavy accents. The ignorance is not...

She is not flip flopping. You are trying to catch her in a semantics debate. Stop. If you don't want to respect any of her thoughts, just say so outright instead of wasting her time.

And I've been discriminated against for being Jewish. I'm not going to compare it to Jim Crow of the South. No Fucking Way. I'm also not going to liken my discrimination to that of pogoms in 1900s Europe...what I have been through is nothing like what my grandmother went through. I'm not...

Sorry, I'm not going to be subjected by this BS that black civil rights is the same thing as disability rights (per the links Banjo posted). If you want certain rights, stand on your own merit. Don't de-legitimize the the genocidal, homicidal, racist, backwards shit that Anglo Americans put West...

deafskeptic, I mean Black Civil Rights. I don't like it when people who advocate for gay rights try to compare it to MLK or Malcom X's movements and I had the same issue when Jillio made it sound like the de-segregation movement is the same as your cause. Being treated fairly regardless of...

I suspect you had a leg-up over people who didn't have a terp as apparently your terp was a great writer! :D

Where I come from, if a guy wants to note another man's college shirt, he says, "Fuck yeah! Hawkeyes!"

And any hearing person with a lick of humanity would appreciate it as part of the things that make you cute. ;) Just like any other accent.

Jillio, you like to talk about how qualified you are because of your degree. :roll: Well, now it's my turn. I teach history for a living and I can most certainly tell you that Deaf in America have not been subjected to Jim Crow, slavery, lynch mobs, etc. People don't look at a Deaf kid and...
