Because I find it hurtful to be accused of something I am not. As a blind person I wouldn't know if I had black friends unless they told me they were black. It really doesn't bother me. I just don't like Obama because his views on life.

I forgot about the photographs. I only have to text to go by.

How do you know that Kokonut isn't black?

Thanks. I'm glad someone understood me at least.

Just out of curiosity, would your views on Sarah Palin be any differant if she was a black woman?

Well there you go then!

Well would you? I was just asking that because racism is branded round so much. If you don't like Obama some people accuse you of being racist. So what would you think of a black person who didn't like Obama? They do exist you know. I speak as I find. If I don't like a person I...

Bott: A 50 db loss isn't nothing. I was born with a 40 db loss. I still had problems. I think it's rude to tell someone they are really a hearing person just because you don't understand their problems.

Yes, it's devestating at first, but they you just have to move on. If people would stop treating me so differantly and calling the cops every time I get lost, then I think being deafblind would be no big deal.

It can be 'devistating' because people around you start treating you differantly. However, It is liveable. The problems with all these fixes is that people will be going off to china instead of learning braille or long cane tecnique. Plus education/rehab needs to come first. I...
