"The Deaf Community--Continually Breaking Down the Wall of Ignorance" By Aidan Mack
Unaware of the presence of BLAME SHIFTERS.
Like Rabbits you roam among the millions.
A poison has grown which seeks to harm Deaf people.
Once again, the Deaf community is under attack, being bullied and brutalized by the bad mouths of the Blame Shifters.
Deaf people are expected to become like clones, or drones..
The system of colonization has grown bigger.
Deaf people are being scapegoated by others who want to make themselves look good without caring about the consequences to the Deaf community.
They are worshipers of Ignorance.
Truth is being sweep under the rug.
Lies predominate, which entertain the blame shifters.
Knowledge is sin.
Shields of ignorance wielded by the blame shifters and the society beyond diversity blind them to the beauty of the Deaf community.
Their vision is hazy and their harmful gazes bounce off the walls they erected around the Deaf community, intending to box them in and trap them.
The blame shifters pretend to give the last rites to a fallen Deaf community.
But Deaf people are determine themselves to dig deep and break free from the blame shifters' false wall by taking it apart brick by brick.
Pah! There is a small opening to the world of diversity where all the communities will be treated with respect and appreciate our embracing of our own birthrights as Deaf beings, including American Sign Language, without having to defend ourselves.
The Deaf community is finally free from the wall of ignorance that the blame shifters created, and Deaf people finally take deep breaths of the freedom that is in the air.
Members of the Deaf community are already expanding their horizons and are already becoming successful in the so-called "outside" world.
People in the Deaf community have no fear of the hearing community and are already interacting freely, extending them a warm welcome.
The Deaf community is not an inwardly-oriented flock of sheep grazing on a small patch of land, but instead is made up of people who are already participating in a very large field.
People in the Deaf community are already open-minded, open to learning from new experiences and seeing new things, while at the same time being proud that we are Deaf beings and that it's OK to tell the society that we do not need to be "fixed" in order to satisfy others' demands for conformity.
People in the Deaf community are out there to bring out greater knowledge to the majority about the beauty of Deaf people as Deaf beings and the beauty of American Sign Language.
The Deaf community will be no longer be pawns in the games of the politically powerful and ignorant people.
People in the Deaf community are here and waiting to embrace any kind of Deaf person, and to show the blame shifters the lies that they lead others to believe about the Deaf community, Deaf beings and American Sign Language.

Hi my name is Elena and I am currently an Interior Design junior at Pratt Institute in NY. I'm working on this idea and would really appreciate if you could help me with some suggestions or critics. For my final project I have been designing a hotel for the deaf culture that is only based in movement, text and lighting. The rooms are connected through floss because like sound, floss can leave traces and create movement or interaction between spaces. The rooms would come in pairs to illustrate sound through seeing. When an action of sound, like shower, microwave, walking in certain areas occurs in one room, there will be a change of light or wall movement in the other room to let the person know about the sound action.
I wanted to know if there was anything that would be absolutely necessary in this hotel for you, and what you think about this concept. I definitely think it would like to incorporate your ideas of breaking down the wall of ignorance, because I think is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
