Too Important to Ignore This One ...

There are the growing resentment toward disabled people getting the front row seats across America as what the MSNBC Twitter mentions 15 hours ago -

Not able to read or view the enclosed blog and video regarding this subject.

I do not know if this MSNBC video refers to the so-called special privilege for deaf people getting the front row seats without paying any exclusive seating cost in demand.

I am sure that too many hearing people resent such idea of seeing "able-bodied" deaf individuals come in and grab the front seat rows without paying any kind of "supply and demand" prices.

Of course, deaf people need to get in the front seat rows due to the visual means for keeping up with the American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters.

No questions about deaf people with visible CI devices on their heads caused such resentment among hearing people asking themselves - "Why deaf people with CI or digital hearing aids help these people such ability to hear and get the front seat privileges?"

You could see how and why the CI (cochlear implant) and expensive digital hearing aids footed by the taxpayers and health insurance companies really hurt deaf people as a homogeneous group and cause such societal backlashes against us in general.

CI, digital hearing aids and the influxes of various communication methods from SEE, LOVE, PSE (Language Contact), Cued Speech and AVT created by audists as a sole purpose of dividing our deaf community into the Tower of Babel with communications and unnatural & artificial devices to weaken our cohesive standings for political, social and economic power.

Just think about that! I am still keeping my words of leaving the DeafRead until circumstance changes for me.
