    I HATE DEAF PEOPLE

    03/28/2009 08:47pm

    “But why?” you may ask. Well, quite simply because if I don’t, WHO WILL???

    But SKANLYN, isn’t it wrong to hate someone just because they’re deaf?

    Yes, of course it is. That’s not the point. Hatred is a naturally occurring element and we all absorb it in varying quantities. We all belong to one or more subgroups of humanity and, for the most part, there are a number of people dedicated to hating us because of the group(s) to which we belong. Unfortunately some groups bear an unfair share of this burden while others escape virtually scot-free. This has the potential to present a very dangerous situation, the prime example being a place called Germany back in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Thus my point is that we all need to do more hating for the greater good. You see, there is a finite amount of hate in this universe and the greater the range over which we can spread it, the less the burden that any one group will have to bear. I would therefore encourage all of us to seek out previously unhated people and hate them to the best of our ability. I believe that only in this way can we approximate anything close to peace on earth.

    And so this brings me to the deaf, whom I shall offensively refer to as “dregs”. In hating any group of peoples, you of course need a pejorative name to call them and I think this one properly conveys the worthlessness that characterizes the average deaf person. If anyone out here has a better term, please do share it with me. Anyway, for far too long these hearing impaired motherfuckers have eluded their share of the hate burden. As a result Rodney King was beaten, Matthew Shepherd was murdered, and the synagogue down the road was vandalized.

    I guess I agree with your point SKANLYN and I would like to help you hate deaf people but what reasons should I give as to why dregs are so despicable?

    Great question! There are an infinite number of reasons to hate dregs but let me just give you the basics for now (more complete information will be forthcoming):

    • Taxes. Special needs education for the deaf in public schools is estimated to cost every tax payer $2,500 annually. On top of that, other publicly funded programs for the hearing impaired add an additional $4,000 to the tab.
    • They are lazy and shiftless. Most deaf people refuse to work. They just sit on their asses all day playing scratch tickets, eating Cheetos, and watching Jerry Springer in closed caption mode. Often they get up only to go to the mailbox and retrieve their social security and welfare checks.
    • They are stupid. The average I.Q. of a dreg is 73, slightly above the level designated for the mentally retarded.
    • They talk funny. There’s nothing worse than trying to converse with a lip reading mush mouth.
    • That annoying shit they do with their hands. I’m sure even non-deaf hating readers will agree that sign language is just plain irritating.
    • They are dirty. Ever been to a dreg’s home? Dirty dishes in the sink, roaches crawling out from under the fridge, the stench of cat urine and rotting food, un-flushed toilets, mold every where – just plain nasty! They also tend to bring their filth with them wherever they go. It is not uncommon for a dreg to go a week or more without showering or brushing his/her teeth and they tend to wash the clothes they wear only on rare occasions.
    • They carry disease. It is estimated that three out of every four deaf adults is infected with at least two sexually transmitted diseases at any given time. Genital warts are most common.
    • They are often pedophiles. Studies have shown that deaf men are more than four times more likely to molest children than persons with other disabilities. Most alarming indeed, especially in light of the prior bullet point.
    • They bring down property values. Picture this, you save your entire life for your dream house. You finally realize this ambition then a fucking dreg moves next door and your neighborhood is soon degraded by a tacky yellow sign reading “DEAF PERSON AREA”. Gets your blood boiling just thinking about it, doesn’t it?
    • They caused the housing crisis which nearly collapsed our entire financial system. The filthy liberals in Congress had incented banks to loan hundreds of billions of dollars to deaf persons who had no means to pay their mortgage. Did no one realize that the tacky yellow signs noted above would make the property virtually worthless when the banks eventually foreclosed?
    • They killed our Lord. Historical records show that one of the Roman soldiers who nailed Jesus to the cross was in fact deaf as were several of the people in crowd who demanded that he be crucified in lieu of Barabbas.

    Wow! Those sure are some good reasons to hate deaf people. How will you get the word out about this stuff given the liberal bias of the mainstream media?

    My first course of action will be to organize a street team. I have printed 20,000 “FUCK THE DEAF” bumper stickers which we will distribute outside sporting arenas and other large public venues along with a plethora of anti-deaf literature which I am putting together at present (if you would like to obtain these materials to distribute in your home town, I would be happy to mail you a supply). Additionally, I plan to use children as a valuable resource in this effort. Schools allot a certain amount of time each year for assemblies and I shall see what I can do in my district to get in and talk to the kids about why they should hate their deaf classmates. Of course bullying a dreg can be most difficult as name calling and other verbal abuse is pretty futile. Generally you need to get physical – shove them, punch them, kick them, throw rocks at them, creep up behind them wearing a scary mask, etc. Spitting might also be a good option. Kids are creative though and I’m sure they’ll find the appropriate means. My job is pretty much to tell them what. It is up to them to determine how. In addition to school children, I also hope to work with police officers as they are in an ideal position to harass and intimidate. Inquiries from law enforcement will be welcomed and kept strictly confidential.

    While I believe this grass roots effort will be most useful in getting out the message that deaf people suck, I fully admit that it is going to take much time and effort. I am committed nonetheless. My ultimate goal is the election of anti-dreg candidates  eventually leading to the passage of discriminatory legislation and culminating in the criminalization of sign language and a constitutional amendment which declares the deaf to be 4/5 of a person (this makes sense since they lack 1/5 of their senses). Yeah, there’s a long road ahead but I have the audacity of hope.

    In closing, if there are any parents of deaf children out there who have been offended by this blog, I would just like to say fuck you but more importantly, fuck your dreg child.

    That is all.       

     

                                                                                                    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

I have no problem with dealing with hearing employees..  Alright.   I have very important question to ask u..  What if you have deaf kids, what are u going to do?  Huh..    God makes us so that way everybody learns how to deal with.

    I know you are not good person..   God Bless u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Leave deaf community alone!!!!!

  • SKANLYN

    @BrowneyedGal - Guess you didn't focus on much more than the title. What's that old adage about a book and its cover?

  • SKANLYN

    @PegnMike -

    sat·ire

    (sāt'īr')
    The use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like in a literary work to expose, denounce, or deride a vice, folly, social convention, another work of art, or anything the author thinks ridiculous.

    Audism (from Latin audire, to hear, and -ism, a system of practice, behavior, belief, or attitude) has been variously defined as:


    <li>The belief that life without hearing is futile and miserable, that hearing loss is a tragedy and "the scourge of mankind," and that deaf people should struggle to be as much like hearing people as possible. Deaf activists Heidi Reed and Hartmut Teuber at D.E.A.F. Inc., a community service and advocacy organization in Boston, consider audism to be "a special case of ableism." Audists, hearing or deaf, shun Deaf culture and the use of sign language, and have what Reed and Teuber describe as "an obsession with the use of residual hearing, speech, and lip reading by deaf people." (Pelka 1997: 33)


    <li>The notion that one is superior based on one's ability to hear or behave in the manner of one who hears. (Tom Humphries 1977, quoted in Zak 1996)


    <li>An attitude based on pathological thinking which results in a negative stigma toward anyone who does not hear; like racism or sexism, audism judges, labels, and limits individuals on the basis of whether a person hears and speaks. (Humphrey and Alcorn 1995: 85)


    <li>The corporate institution for dealing with deaf people--dealing with them by making statements about them, authorizing views of them, describing them, teaching about them, governing where they go to school and, in some cases, where they live; in short, audism is the hearing way of dominating, restructuring, and exercising authority over the deaf community. It includes such professional people as administrators of schools for deaf children and of training programs for deaf adults, interpreters, and some audiologists, speech therapists, otologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, librarians, researchers, social workers, and hearing aid specialists. (Lane 1992: 43)


    So therefore, you are an AUDIST! Back off the deaf community, you don't realize what you are dealing with, there are all kinds of deaf people in many various religions and races. I have graduated from SEMO with a 3.7 GPA, graduated with a graphic design major and am PROUD to be deaf! My husband and I are two intelligent adults who own their own house and both work full time and am raising a hearing 15 year old daughter. So you are shooting off facts which aren't true at all. If you have guts to post this blog, then put up your picture and address. I associate myself with a lof of intelligent deaf adults who have their own houses and jobs. NONE of them live in FILTHY homes or have STDs or what ever you have said. Maybe you're really just referring to yourself?

  • SKANLYN

    @huneybear75 - Please see my response to Pegnmike then re-read the entire posting. Shall I also provide the definitions of irony and sarcasm?

  • PegnMike

    @skanlyn


    I dont know who u are ..  Why you talk about u hating deaf people?   Watch out..   U will be sorry..     I dont believe what u said..   I love deaf people.     I guess your parents didnt teach u about deaf values and etc..   Are u against other races?? huh..  Well you think I am sarcasm..  Haha  I am laughing..  I dont know u think I am sarcasm..  I am so proud of being deaf..  Don't discriminate me.  I am not playing games..  I am really tired of hearing people making fun of us and think we are sort of disease..   What the fuck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     I think u are very paranoia when deaf people come to talk to u..     Then get out of our deaf community and leave deaf people alone..  I feel sooo sorry for u..  BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY CLUELESS ABOUT DEAF WORLD.  Jeeeezz

  • PegnMike

    Soooooooooooo  what did deaf people did to u to make u hating them more?????  

  • SKANLYN

    @PegnMike - No my friend, I don't think you "are sarcasm". What I think is that you and huneybear75 have really big egos and upon seeing the title "I HATE DEAF PEOPLE", you felt as if you were being blasphemed and consequently read the rest of the article with the intent of finding things to make you angry rather than actually trying to comprehend the underlying intent. Contrary to what you believe, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU SILLY! This posting has nothing to do with the deaf. It is a social commentary. 

  • sweetmamazz

    First of all, I am so amazed with your so hateful for deaf community. You got it all wrong idea and facts about deaf community. A lot of things that you don't know a thing or seeing yourself into our deaf community.

    My husband is deaf also, he's working as machinist. He graduated with a degree.. He doesn't sit all day to receive welfare! He's providing for his family. Our house is not dirty as you think that all of deaf people are.. Nope, I am a housewife cleaning the house and raising our four hearing people.

    as I am  a college student attempting to get a degree.. I don't see anything is wrong with deaf community. so therefore, you got it all wrong information.

    You will be very sorry if god is witnessing this what you've said about deaf community. God is the one who blessed us with our deafness..

    I hope you can go to hell for all I care! for your info, I am soo damnest PROUD to be DEAF!!!!!!!!! so FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!!!

  • SKANLYN

    @sweetmamazz - I am done trying to explain my posting. Anyone who reads it and takes offense is a clearly a fool. Hopefully someone who gets it will comment.

  • LadyLibellule

    Sarcasm... you're doing it wrong.

    There's sarcasm, and then there's just being a dick.  You're pretty close to that line (if you haven't crossed it already).

    Are you honestly surprised at the reactions you're getting?  If you were truly being funny or amusing (or even thought-provoking), you wouldn't have offended so many people.  Despite what it sometimes looks like, Xanga readers are not so stupid that they can't recognize true sarcasm when they see it.  Unfortunately, your brand comes off as barely disguised hatred.

  • goaliefan1973

    It is clear to me that your ignorant rant is for the sole purpose of promoting hate. Quite stupid and immature if you ask me, or many others for that matter. deaf people are as productive as anyone else in this world who chooses to be productive, just because they can't hear, doesn't mean they can't communicate, but i digress, you already know that don't you.


    If you wanna hate, here's an idea for your next blog. People on Welfare who are fullly capable to work, but decide that living on my tax dollars is more worth there time. I work, they get paid.  For the record, welfare was never meant to last,it was meant to get people back on their feet not supplement their lifestyle.


    You're so sad...but then again, like i said, your whole plan is to make people hate and I won't let you dictate how I think.  I have a deaf friend and your blog is uneducated and very hurtful to people...but you knew that, didn't you. tsk tsk

  • SKANLYN

    @LadyLibellule - 
    "If you were truly being funny or amusing (or even thought-provoking), you wouldn't have offended so many people. "
    Gee, Now that I think about it, you are right. You cannot be funny or thought provoking if you offend people.

    "Despite what it sometimes looks like, Xanga readers are not so stupid that they can't recognize true sarcasm when they see it."
    That's what I thought before I started seeing the responses to this essay.

  • SKANLYN

    @goaliefan1973 - My blog is only hurtful to idiots. If you cannot recognize the intentionally preposterous nature of what I have written, then I would venture to say that it is you who is "stupid and immature".

    Hopefully your dear friend is not a deaf supremacist who feels that the status of his deafness is so sacred that it may only be spoken about with holiness and reverence. To say that I am promoting hatred of the deaf who struggle every day with so-called "audism" not only misses the point but it is an insult to those people who have experienced genuine hate due to their race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, etc.

    Skanlyn, I can see who's a fool. It's you, dude. Next time, get the facts straight first before you type the nonsense story.



  • SKANLYN

    @. - Thank you for your input. Next time I write a "nonsense" story I will be sure to get the facts right 'cause you know it is essential that a "nonsense" story be 100% accurate. Next time you read a "nonsense" story, however, you might also consider that it's "nonsense" and intended as parody not hate speech.

    @sweetmamazz - @LadyLibellule - @. - @PegnMike - @BrowneyedGal - You're all fucking idiots.


    @SKANLYN - Keep up the good work. I know it was sacasm, which in itself should be proof for you that not all humans are as retarded as those who commented. They just happen to breed more.

  • LadyLibellule

    @Ayliana87 - Why, thank you.  Aren't you sweet.

  • sweetmamazz

    ooo you can call me an idiot all you want.. but that's pretty offend to this so-called an essay that you wrote and it's all sarcasm!!!

  • SKANLYN

    @sweetmamazz - Might you care to re-reply in English?

  • sweetmamazz
     we didn't asked to be born deaf.. we just happen to be deaf..not alot of deafies understand what you"re saying...what if .. someday one of your kid..if you have one or more.. and they become deaf and read your blog how will your  kids feel ??? have you ever thought of that ? if you're saying it just a sarcasm joke..still shouldn't do that.. keep it to yourself...why make thing worse when we the people of usa are going through alot.. enuf is enuf...it is best to stop this and move on...its very cruel thing you  have said even tho you're saying it was just a sarcasm jokes.. what comes around will goes around... you need to think twice before you speak..now look what you have put deafies through.. all pissed.. angry... offended and whatnot ! you sure have a cruel back heart ! just leave deafies the fuck alone

    dont call me fucking idiot..  You dont understand what about deaf world.. huh..   Go fuck yourself..    Peace!!!!

  • irkenequine

    As an interpreter and someone who loves and appreciates the Deaf community I'm happy to say a big FUCK YOU.  WHO CARES if youre being satirical...does that give you the right to say such HATEFUL and HURTFUL THINGS about people?  Just because the internet can pull a veil over your pimply face and muffin top doesn't mean you have the right to belittle a group of people who have suffered SO MUCH MORE in this country tahn you can EVEN IMAGINE.  Did you know ASL wasn't even recognized as a LANGUAGE until 1961??? People haev been INSTITUTIONALIZING Deaf people and calling them retarded for decades; perfectly mentally sane people are being released after 20 years because no one BOTHERED delving into their lives a ilttle bit more.

    Shame on you.  Sarcasm or not, what a SHITTY thing to say about another memeber of this human race.
