Deaf Insights - How and What Past So-Called Militants Pointed Out Human Fallacies

Dr. Don G's vlog presentation had been excellently covered why we ought to be damn proud of calling ourselves "Deaf Militants", instead of cowering and running away from the societial labels.

W.E. DuBois, the former president of the National Colored Association of Advancement People (NCAAP), usually reminded the wary ones about providing the equal rights to colored people. Many white people felt greatly comfortable with George Washington Carver (not George Washington, the first president under the U.S. Constitution) because of his non-threatening presence unlike DuBois's fiery arguments about how the American society treated colored people unequally, etc.

George Washington Carver, the well-known and respectable African-American scientist of their time. He always urged the colored people to go along and work with the white people to please them, instead of agonizing the white society. In the end, white people rather have to keep colored people in their place, not of being treated as an equal member of the society. DuBois refused to accept the arguments that the colored people are the inferior species and let the white society to define, mold and re-arrange who and what the colored people were all about.

Back in the early 20th American century, the white people put the particular African Americans' long-term health under jeopardy by experimenting on them secretly without their own knowledge or consent - "Tuskegee Experiment", a longitude research on sexual diseases jumped from one individual to another individual.

George Washington Carver repeatedly urged the African Americans to be the submissive ones and work together with the White America, not challenge or offend the white majority. W.E DuBois furiously told the African Americans to advance themselves with the college education to make themselves real worthy human beings with full abilities, not to serve the whims of the White America. The racial lynchings of African Americans were very common in the 1920s and beforehand. The Jim Crow laws kept African Americans from being the equal member of the society without pathologizing or paternalize them.

One flaws about W.E. DuBois's membership with the American Communist Party which undermined all his arguments for fighting the full steam for the equal rights of colored people of its time. If not for his communist party membership, we would be more familiar with W.E. DuBois than the moderate Martin Luther King. The African Americans of the pre-Civil Rights Movement would be the equal member of the society from W.E. DuBois.

Vernon John was more bold and militant than his future predecessor, Dr. Martin Luther King. He was also the church pastor like MLK. John usually had the outdoor church bulletin said "How Many Lynchings Done Lately" in the late 40s. MLK took the whole credit for the civil rights movement in moderate stance. MLK perhaps brilliantly done the non-threatening approaches with well-dressed rights participants and had the Muslim brothers at his side during his famous speech, "We Are People, Too".

Thomas Jefferson had seen all the filth of the French royal mess which he eagerly supported the Terror of Regin in the name of societal renewal and rebirth of democratic process away from the heriditary positions and curried favors. George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and other Americans were horrified about the mob rules in the chaotic France. Whose fault? Of course, the French Establishment for not paying attention to the needs of their French subjects!

Thomas Paine wrote the "Common Sense" pamphlets as a paybacks to King George and the British elites for treating him shabbily and disrespectful. Paine almost got beheaded at the Bastille (France).

"Mother" Mary Jones waged the full-frontal wars on the coal mine owners for disfranchising the hard-working coal miners. In the end, the miners got what they wanted - decent work hours, safe work environments, no "company money" (scrap money) and safeguard measures for their loved ones.

If we turn beloved or accompany the goals and visions of the dominant majority. We will never accomplish anything to fight against the true oppressors, who tried to be the Creator - AgBAD people and proponents of CI surgery, ever deaf people kiss up to the expectations of hearingization of the society.
