Deaf Voters: ‘Retarded & White America’ Rigged

The blog coverage on Marlee Matlin's ‘Retarded’ and Deaf American's ‘White America’ is misleading and possibly rigged.

Share from Facebook: Let this be clear. This isn’t a pro-Democrat or Republican blog, no taken sides in the presidential race, just expressing the opinions.



Here's the blog coverage on Marlee Matlin's ‘Retarded’ and a Deaf American's ‘White America’ There's something fishy going on, is it a rigged or not, you decide.



Donald Trump repeatedly called Marlee Matlin's "retarded"



Marlee Matlin, an actor who is Deaf, said she was “deeply” upset by reports that Donald Trump repeatedly called her “retarded” when she appeared on the Celebrity Apprentice.



Three NBC staffers on the reality TV show, who requested anonymity due to non-disclosure agreements, told the Daily Beast that Trump often treated Matlin with disrespect and called her “retarded,” both behind her back and in front of her, as seen on Marlee Matlin Slams Donald Trump ‘Retarded’.



Thousand of Deaf American voters, mostly Republican supporters does not believe three NBC staffers' claimed, because, there was no proven or evidence that a Republican presidential candidate Trump repeatedly called her “retarded”.



Rigged is a conspiracy theory that circulated alleging Donald Trump repeatedly called Marlee Matlin's “retarded” before the Presidential Election 2016, apparently, Matlin appeared on the Celebrity Apprentice and the second place on season 11 in 2011, it was 5 years ago, when the Presidential Election is near an end and three staffers of the NBC of Democratic Party too soon announced in 2016 five years later regarding Trump's comment's “retarded”, which three NBC staffers were in fear the Republican Donald Trump would be president, and they set up an accused of discrimination as bait Deaf Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton, that figures, unfortunately, it was not work that way. There seems to be something fishy going on with the NBC of Democratic Party. 'Rigged'?



#2: Something fishy going on about the image of Deaf American man claims.



“This is white America now.” Deaf American man abused in cafe.



Deaf American man has written about the abuse he faced in a cafe just hours after Donald Trump’s victory in the Presidential election.



Deaf American man nor woman is a Democrat supporter, who's possibly make it up the story to the Deaf community. Some of voters find quite bizarre strange about this image.



First of all: Ironically about this texts image and it seems not make sense, because, the media claimed "Deaf American Man" has written which Lena is a female given name, not a male given name. However, Lena Van Manen is a child of Deaf parents (CODA) and has native signing skills. She is a freelance interpreter with a NIC Master certification from RID, which must be her associate has written on her Facebook, it's not clarify enough as misleading.



Nyle DiMarco reposted and share, to protect the user (Lena Van Manen)

Second: Many Deafies puzzles this texts image, how the hell he has been communicate with a racial slurs hearing person which he could not understand what a guy was saying and screaming from two inches of nose to nose? Lena was with her associate the whole time at Starbucks in early morning? There was no proven or evidence. There seems to be something fishy going on. 'Rigged'?



Hillary Clinton's campaign were disappointment from the Republican swept to victory over Hillary in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics a remarkable upset, that's mainly reasons. They are probably pissed off because, they got their asses whipped by Republicans. What a butthurt for Democrat supporters these today in America.



They got to accept Donald Trump is become the 45th President of the United States. He is your president now.



Again, remember this isn’t a pro-Democrat or Republican blog, just expressing the opinions. Clarification: Guest post to share from Facebook.

A former Apprentice contestant also told People that Trump made sexual comments to Matlin and other women on the show.



“I am Deaf. There are millions of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people like me, in the United States and around the world who face discrimination and misunderstanding like this on a daily basis. It is unacceptable,” said Matlin, who has indicated her support for Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign.



“As a person who is Deaf, as a woman, as a mom, as a wife, as an actor, I have a voice. And I’m using that voice to make myself heard… and vote.”



Trump previously faced scrutiny early in the campaign for mocking a New York Times reporter who suffers from a congenital joint condition.

Deaf Schools Are Closing, If Only It Were Just TV

Deaf Awareness: If only it were just TV, Schools for the Deaf are closing.

On Monday, March 4th, the television show ‘Switched at Birth’ did something on mainstream TV that had never been done before. It ran an episode in sign language. Some viewers thought at first that the sound on their television was broken.



The show is an ABC Family drama that revolves around two teenagers who were switched at birth, one of whom is Deaf.



According to ABC Family, it is the first television series to have multiple Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing series regulars, and scenes shot entirely in American Sign Language.



Marlee Matlin guest stars. Because of this, the series not only exposes the American public to the Deaf community, it also has the power to educate us about important related issues: last week’s ASL episode focused on the failure of the American education system to serve many Deaf students who find themselves there because their own schools have closed.



The main story of ‘Switched at Birth's’ ASL episode focuses on the closing of such a school, and the protest created by the students to keep it open. Many students who are Deaf want to study in a school designed for them, where they can communicate directly with teachers and counselors, interact directly with their peers and participate fully in extracurricular activities – things most hearing students take for granted. ...Read more: http://www.thejewishweek.com/blogs/new-normal/if-only-it-were-just-tv-schools-deaf-are-closing

VIDEO: Gallaudet University uses all-sign language episode of ‘Switched at Birth’ to air new commercial.



Gallaudet University is taking advantage of a special episode of ABC Family’s ‘Switched at Birth’ Monday night, as a commercial for the university will air during an episode of the show that is told entirely in American Sign Language and based on real-life events that happened at the school itself.



The all-sign language technique for the episode is a first for a scripted series on mainstream television, according to the network, which will air Gallaudet’s commercial twice during the hour. The episode takes place on the 25th anniversary of the Deaf President Now movement at Gallaudet in March 1988, when students and faculty protested after the university instated a hearing president over two Deaf candidates.



‘Switched at Birth,’ which wraps up the first half of its second season next week, follows the chaos that takes place when two high school girls find out they were sent home with the wrong families as babies in the hospital. One of the daughters is Deaf, resulting as a driving plot force in the series. The show, which debuted in June 2011 to more than 3 million viewers, has attracted around 1.7 million people per episode this season.



In Monday’s episode at 8 p.m., the fictional Carlton School for the Deaf is on the brink of closing, so the students protest, inspired by the real-life circumstances at Gallaudet in the 80s. The whole hour will be in sign language, with accompanying subtitles. ...

On ABC Family, an Episode in Sign Language - Nytimes.com: On Monday night, ABC Family did something that no commercial television outlet in the United States had ever done: it broadcast an entire episode of a show in sign language, with closed captioning turned on by default.



Advocates for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing cheered the move, and they wondered: would viewers tune in specifically for the almost-silent episode of the series, ‘Switched at Birth,’ one of ABC Family’s most popular? Or would viewers turn it off, potentially perturbed by the lack of audio? There was a normal musical score, and a scene at the beginning of the episode with audible dialogue, but the rest of the dialogue was in sign language.



Broadly speaking, neither outcome came true. The show’s overnight Nielsen ratings were down, but only slightly. Most fans of the show stayed with it 1.6 million, according to the overnight ratings. The series this season has averaged 1.7 million viewers.



In the show’s target demographic, women 12 to 34, 748,000 viewers tuned in, down just a little bit from the season average of 777,000. About a quarter of those viewers usually record the show and watch it later, so the final ratings won’t come in for a while.



“Switched at Birth” features several Deaf or hard-of-hearing characters, so every episode incorporates sign language in some way. But Monday’s episode went further. ... Read more: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/06/on-abc-family-an-episode-in-sign-language/

Marlee Matlin Promotes 'Switched at Birth' Episode

VIDEO [CC] - Good Morning America: Exclusive interview with Marlee Matlin in Landmark 'Switched at Birth' Episode.



Actress discusses taking a risk in using American Sign Language and subtitles on ABC Family's ‘Switched at Birth.’



Actress Marlee Matlin came by Good Morning America March 4 2013 to talk about the landmark new episode of Switched at Birth, which will be the first in history to be aired on television entirely in American Sign Language. Marlee Matlin, who is Deaf in real life, appeared with a translator, who facilitated the interview between her and Robin Roberts.



Matlin said it’s been an amazing journey for her, because she began in the business 28 years ago trying to get her language, American Sign Language, across to anyone watching television or movies. She said it’s going to be beautiful to show and highlight to the whole world the culture of American Sign Language.

The clip they showed of tonight’s Switched at Birth episode was extremely powerful. I’ve never seen the show, but Marlee Matlin and actress Lea Thompson were sitting at a dining room table signing to each other about how to get reporters to a high school presentation of Romeo And Juliet.



The clip was completely silent. There wasn’t even background noise. The silence, plus the American Sign Language used by both actresses discussing something as everyday as a high school play, was really striking and wonderful. It’s going to be a great episode...

VIDEO [CC] - Switch at Birth Episodes: Marlee Matlin - Not Hearing Loss, Deaf Gain.



‘Switched at Birth’: ABC Family’s The teen soap Switched at Birth explores self-expression and the communication gulf between the hearing and Deaf communities.



Melody gives an impassioned lecture about how it’s not about hearing loss, it’s about Deaf gain, of a language, a community, and a culture.

When Marlee Matlin walked away with an Academy Award for her heart-wrenching turn as a Deaf custodian in 1986’s romantic drama Children of a Lesser God, it seemed as though film had finally encountered a definitive depiction of a Deaf individual and the often tenuous relationship between the hearing and the Deaf worlds. Television has lagged behind; nearly 30 years later, most TV shows still typically shove Deaf characters into the background or use them as props as part of a hearing person’s story.



A deft and intelligent take on the way in which we form our identities through self-expression, whether that be street art, spoken/signed communication, texting, or open dialogue among family members and individuals, as well as the communication gulf between the hearing and deaf/hard-of-hearing communities. It’s also a show that doesn’t pander to its presumed audience. Semantics “Deaf” and “hard-of-hearing” are OK; “hearing-impaired” is not and ethical implications, as well as morality and choice, are discussed frankly and without preaching. ... visit: https://www.facebook.com/SwitchedatBirth

HOLLYWOOD -- Kicking things off at number five, we've got Marlee Matlin, who took home the Best Actress trophy in 1986 for her role as Sarah Norman in Children of a Lesser God. Matlin was just 21 years old when she became not just the youngest winner ever for the category, but also the first Deaf person to take home an Oscar.



Next up, the only guy on our Top Five - Timothy Hutton, who won Best Supporting Actor in 1980 for his role in Robert Redford's Ordinary People. Hutton, now a television star, was only 20 when he took home the gold.



At number three we've got our most legendary performance on the list - Patty Duke's incredible portrayal of Helen Keller in 1962 classic The Miracle Worker. Duke was only 16 years old when she stunned audiences across the country with her heartbreaking performance and won the Best Supporting Actress prize.

Number two on our list is also our most recent award - Anna Paquin's 1993 win for her Supporting role in The Piano. The actress was a mere eleven years old when she took home the Oscar, and has since gone on to star in both blockbuster films like X-Men and art-house classics like Margaret.



And finally, the youngest Academy Award winner of all time is... Tatum O'Neal, who won Best Supporting Actress in 1973 for her role in Paper Moon. O'Neal was just ten years old when she gave her award-winning performance alongside her father, Ryan - that's the age most kids are in the fourth grade! Amazing.
