Ed Bosson & Sabrina Blount Fundraising Controversy

VIDEO: Signed - Exclusive: This article is about the stark comparison between Sabrina Blount's fundraising and Ed & Lisa Bosson's fundraising on the social media in the Deaf community.

Image by Swanhilda Austin

Sabrina Blount is a Deaf African-American woman and a single mother who was kidnapped, abused, raped, robbed and left for dead in North Carolina. She needs 20,000 to take care of Sabrina's health as she had to be rehabbed & recover from the severe injuries.



On other hand, Ed & Lisa Bosson are Deaf white couple from Texas who lived in a well-to-do neighborhoods in Wimberley about 20-25 miles southwest of Austin. They lived in a house which has the Blanco River right behind their backyard. And they got flooded - only downstairs were destroyed. Ed & Lisa made lots of good salaries when they worked at Texas School for the Deaf, University of Texas, Texas Public Utility Commission and CEO of Convo Relay. They asked for 30,000 dollars to replace what they lost in their home.



Sabrina Blount raised $5,165 in 25 days http://www.gofundme.com/tg85nsks.



The Bossons raised $16,790 in 24 hours http://www.gofundme.com/bosson.



What is wrong with this picture? Please watch this vlog in ASL.

There are many unfortunate Deaf people that needs this funding. The Bossons are not poor. They are well-to-do couple. Their home costs over 500,000 dollars. Their home is pretty huge 2,197 sq foot with 2.6 acres.



Ed used to work for Texas PUC as Administrator - earned over $100,000. I'm sure they have money hidden away, they did not want to touch that, they only wanted to use people's funds to replace what they lost.



Right now, Austin Lawn Service owned by Paul Rutowski is volunteering to clean Ed's property for free which is very nice of him and his company to do. But there are many Deaf people who are going through the same thing, will Paul do the same for others? I think not. So it appears to me that they are practicing elitism at its worst. -Ridor9th



Please donate to help Sabrina Blount to cover the medical costs, http://www.gofundme.com/tg85nsks. Why donate to the rich bastard, Ed and Lisa Bossons instead Sabrina Blount, who is a poor and victim of crime? Yep, there is something wrong with this picture. This is shameful thing to see that some Deaf people still are racists out there.

Meet 'Hitler Cat' The Nazi Leader Pussy Of Russia

VIDEO: Weird News - Meet 'Hitler Cat,' the Nazi leader pussy that makes 'Grumpy Cat' look charming!



MOSCOW - The purred Reich, Cat that looks like Hitler 'even has the same personality as Adolf', says its owner.



The internet-famous ‘Grumpy Cat’ has just received a Russian rival for the most severe looking feline on the planet, after one Muscovite revealed her cat bares a striking resemblance to former Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.



With markings forming a distinctive black moustache and side parted hairline, this cat bears a remarkable similarity to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.



But the comparison doesn't end there - owner Elena Suleymanyan also likens her pet's temper and tantrums to that of the Second World War dictator.



Ms Suleymanyan, 44, noticed the one-year-old hairless donskoy cat looked like Hitler as soon as he was born due to his distinctive markings and intense gaze.

But when she realised the cat also had similar characteristics to the totalitarian leader, namely, his bad temper, the comparison became spookily real.



Ms Suleymanyan, a pharmacist from Moscow, said: 'Anyone who meets Portos is immediately taken aback by his likeness to Adolf Hitler.



'When he was growing up, people would always ask me if his name is Adolf and whether he wanted to conquer the world, so the comparison just stuck after a while... Read more: http://dailymail.co.uk/news/article/The-purred-Reich-Cat-looks-like-Hitler-personality-Adolf-says-owner.html

ASL Film 'Always Chasing Love' Campaign Video

VIDEO [CC] - An American Foreign Language film about a former foster child’s journey to find her birth parents and the chaos that ensues.

What is always chasing love? Based on a compilation of true events and uniquely told in American Sign Language (ASL), Italian and English (American and Australian), 'Always Chasing Love' depicts the impact of child abandonment and foster care, the pursuit of family, intimacy and acceptance, and the importance of honest communication in relationships.

It is an arthouse narrative of colliding love stories, triggered by a pained Jennifer Anderson’s passionate and tumultuous journey to find her birth parents. After getting a lead as to her parents' whereabouts, Jennifer's actions cause heartbreak that snowballs into a crime-of-passion. The resulting crime is investigated by the famously meticulous and no-nonsense Detective Simon Willis of the Sign Language Police Department (SLPD).

Why is always chasing love on Kickstarter? Jadolphus Fraser started the journey of making this film with the goal that it be self-funded. Unfortunately, while in the finishing stages of post-production, he suffered the catastrophe that all creators fear the crashing of hard drives, both primary and back-up, simultaneously. Despite being devastated by this calamity, Jadolphus adhered to his commitment to finish the film, and once again embarked upon re-producing and directing this unique film from pre-production to completion. However, his financial resources are now depleted, thus bringing him to Kickstarter. The film is currently in post-production (saved in the cloud and backed up on many hard drives), with the following needed for completion... Read the full story

Deaf Lifestyle - Oralism Versus Manualism

Deaf News: Isolating Deaf youngsters from the Deaf community might not be in their best interests in the United Kingdom.



Article by Sarah Lawrence from Slfirst magazine - States of the art hearing aids and cochlear implants might not translate to mainstream achievements.



Born into a hearing family and brought up in mainstream education, neither my parents or the teachers for the deaf, had any knowledge of the local Deaf community. In fact, in the same way that my ‘teacher for the deaf’ discouraged me from learning sign language, in many respects I was also advised not to have anything to do with the Deaf community.



Being strong willed and recognising that I was different to other children in the school (lots of them made sure I knew that), I went on to make my own mind up about what was best for me, my decisions differing markedly from what the ‘teacher of the deaf’ and social worker for the deaf, had suggested was in my best interest. Right or wrong, they were my decisions, and my life has been enriched by being involved in a wide range of Deaf community groups and activities ever since.



Because of my links to and involvement in the Deaf community, I have developed my own identity in life, I have friends who understand the issues I face every day, who support me, and I have people who share the passion I have for reaching a stage when society concentrates on what we can do, rather than the simple fact we cannot hear and might not be able to talk.



Being a part of the Deaf community, I learned all about Deaf sport and Deaf activities, and getting involved has meant that I have travelled all over the United Kingdom and internationally to take part in sport. Through these travels I have learned about Deaf life in other countries and had the chance to meet people who greet me as a long lost friend when we meet up again.



It’s not all chocolates and roses of course, as people face a wide range of issues and Deaf Club or a Deaf social event is a good place to seek help and advice about how to tackle that. Overwhelmingly though, having a Deaf identity and being a part of a Deaf community has been a huge positive in my life, adding great value, and helping me make sense of many of the problems and barriers I experience in my life. I knew and still know today, that those problems and barriers are not personal attacks on me... Read The Full Story.

Ireland Ignores Legal Recognition Sign Languages

Deaf News: Sign language gives tens of thousands of Irish people the priceless gift of communication but it's still unrecognised as an official language by the Irish State.

DUBLIN, IRELAND - Now, 40 local authorities are heaping pressure on the Government to fully recognise Irish Sign Language (ISL) as an official language, the Sunday Independent has learned.



More than a year after the Seanad rejected a bill to legally recognise ISL, county and city councils, all over the country, have passed a motion on the issue to "help put pressure on local TDs".



After more than 30 years of campaigning, Eddie Redmond CEO of the Irish Deaf Society (IDS) says the community still feels hugely isolated and ignored at national level.



Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Redmond said: "The Government have been avoiding the issue. There is huge uproar among the Deaf community, because we are cut off from access to information.



"Every citizen should have access to services as a human right, and until there is adequate provision, the Deaf community will continue to be discriminated against and there will be a constant invalidation," he said.



Eight years ago, the Irish government signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which contains duties towards native sign languages. To date, Ireland remains one of the few European countries that have not ratified the convention into law.



Meanwhile, 45 other countries - including the UK and Northern Ireland - have granted legal status to their own unique sign language... Read more: http://independent.ie/irish-news/news/deaf-community-roar-for-recognition-of-sign-language.html

Audree Norton, Pioneering Deaf Actress Dies At 88

Deaf News: Audree Lauraine Norton, Pioneering Deaf Actress, Dies at 88.



Hollywood Reporter - Audree Norton, who many consider the first Deaf actress to appear in a featured role on an American network TV series, has died. She was 88.



Norton, a founding member of The National Theatre of the Deaf, died April 22 in Fremont, Calif., her family announced.



In September 1968, on “The Silent Cry,” the episode that kicked off the second season of the CBS crime drama Mannix, Norton starred as a Deaf woman who, while reading the lips of a man talking inside a phone booth, realizes that he’s plotting to kidnap someone.



She seeks out good-guy private detective Joe Mannix (Mike Connors). He investigates, putting their lives in jeopardy.



Norton would later appear on such series as Family Affair and The Streets of San Francisco.



Norton also played a Deaf mother who wanted to adopt a child in a 1971 episode of ABC’s The Man and the City, and she and her husband, Kenneth, who also was Deaf, auditioned for roles as parents in a 1978 ABC Afterschool Special titled “Mom and Dad Can’t Hear Me.”



According to the 1988 book Hollywood Speaks: Deafness and he Film Entertainment Industry, written by John S. Schuchman, a casting director told Norton that “of all the people, you and your husband won the roles. But you are out because the director is afraid to use Deaf actors and actresses.”



Instead, Priscilla Pointer and Stephen Elliott were cast, and Norton filed a complaint with the Screen Actors Guild. Schuchman suggests that Norton’s grievance cost her a career in television but paved the way for other Deaf actors to work...

Deaf Actors - Choose Not To or Can't Speak ?

VIDEO [CC] - Viola Rose Muir: Deaf actors in Hollywood that choose not to or can't speak?



A summary about Viola Rose Muir experience in NYC acting class with 2 of 3 agents expecting her to speak. Quotes: "You know, in Hollywood, the hearing folks, I mean, many Deaf actors can talk, and to receive that feedback was not surprising. Then the casting director said, "Make sure you send these agents a thank you card." I had a thought so I raised my hand to ask Paul a question, "In that thank you card, I wanted to put in the word, 'Audism'."



He was intrigued and asked what it was and I explained that, "Audism is a form of oppression, 'you can speak, you must speak, you must hear, the expectation of Deaf/HOH having to act like a hearing person, oppressing us by thinking that hearing people are better than Deaf or Hard of hearing people, that kind of attitude or way of thinking."

Paul was cautious and said, "Make sure you don't sound so defensive but you can talk and use it as your marketability skill." I said, "I know, right-right, that's fine, sure, but what about those Deaf people who can't talk at all and they want to get into Hollywood and to be in movies. That's not fair. Saying, "Lines are supposed to be spoken", that's not reality, that's not our world today, our world is so diverse, we have different and all kinds of people, they can't just limit by saying, "You must speak only.", that's not realistic....

Virtual Deaf Church: Is Jesus A Black Man ?

VIDEO [CC] - Is Jesus A Black Man? ASL by Deaf pastor who turned atheist.



The video producer by Justin Vollmar also known as Virtual Deaf Church, a pastor who turned atheist sharing on social media "Is Jesus a Black Man?" to educate the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community regarding to Jesus of Nazareth theology.



Why are Christians so offended at the idea of Jesus as a black man? Surely, this is not a blasphemy, right? This video is a self-examination on the issue of Racism. If Christians get offended at the idea of Black Jesus, is this a subtle form of Racism?

Deaf Boy Viciously Attacked By Dogs

VIDEO: Nine-year-old sister saves her Deaf brother from vicious dog attack.



This video contains extremely graphic material. Viewer discretion is advised.



MOORE, OKLA (KFOR) - A boy is learning how to walk again after three Rottweiler dogs attacked him Saturday.



The family of 10-year-old Elijah says his 9-year-old sister saved him, and he is lucky to be alive. More than 40 stitches later, his little sister shares what happened.



“I wanted to go check on him, but then I just heard them screaming and yelling and I started running,” Alyssa McKenna, Elijah’s sister says. She was running to help her brother who is Deaf.

“I saw his orange shirt and a belt, then I saw his hair and I saw him moving a lot and I saw the dogs biting him,” Alyssa said. Elijah’s sister says she found him by a dirt road not far from their grandmother’s home. The three dogs were attacking him, so she took matters into her own hands to save him.



“I picked him up…he couldn’t walk, he just fell right over again, so I picked him up from where we were standing and I picked him up and carried him,” Alyssa said.



They eventually got Elijah to the hospital; he went straight to the OU trauma center where he immediately went into surgery. “He had two wide cuts on his head, he had to get over 40 staples on his head,” Alyssa says. Pictures don’t begin to show the deep wounds he received from the three dogs.



“I’ve never seen injuries like this from a dog,” Rhianna Bravenec, Elijah and Alyssa’s mom said. “He had a gash all the way down from his neck to the top of his head.” But his mother is thankful he’s alive...
