Why I said ASL Failed and Disintegrates

Why I said ASL failed and what I meant by the statement. Carrying the 7th generation "deaf family" label I witnessed and observed at least four generations of deaf people and their so-called communities. I can safely vouch the important fact that ASL lacks structural values necessary for our own defense and how it seem to disintegrate deaf people's vocabulary and grammatical skills. The video has been subtitled for hearing people so that they will begin to understand the underlying issues within our deaf community.

Intertribal Deaf Council

Ella and few others came up with desperate final shots and accused me of destroying Intertribal Deaf Council. I thought I’d grab the opportunity and explain what really happened. In 2006 when I attended IDC gathering they were over-taken by “wanna-be” white leaders. I might be the person that broke the IDC’s back but it was only because of their lengthy dishonest and abusive organizational practices before I joined.

For several years numerous deaf Native Americans came forward to vouch this truth with video comments at DVTV. This time around I decided to do a main vlog just to demonstrate how foolish and desperate Ella and her followers were, constantly believing hear-say rumors. Quite desperate of them but it was the only thing they had on me.

More importantly, I have some really great news for everybody. I’m officially “so out of deafhood”, according to Deafhood Foundation’s very own Ella. She’s made a public declaration on 04/21/2011. It’s on my hard drive too. She finally acknowledged that I was in charge of my own journey. For the past three years it’s been exactly what I’ve fought for. Thank you, Ella. I’ve been liberated! It’s a victory for my fans as well. I rest my case.

Not A Leader?

Hmmm... I decided to v/blog on this subject. One of a known leader abruptly made a declaration that she is not a leader but a follower instead. Let's take a deep look at why she said it. The timing of her statement is so essential. She's the one that brought deafhood to America and developed an American version of deafhood by trying to interpret deaf journey for us with hope that we'd all agree with her journey. And apply them into our journey. That's where she went wrong and she realized it just now. Instead of owning up her own mistakes as a leader she sidestepped and said she was only following others. Shameful. Solid leaders do not do that. Solid leaders apologize for misleading their people. This one didn't.
