It was the last thing I ever imagined. I never thought that I may one day raise such a complaint. I am critically expressing my offence of the video in the section below. It was posted by RNIB last year. For those who may not know, RNIB is the largest UK organization for the blind. It aims of helping blind people to become more independent, promoting positive attitude, and advocating for blind people rights for equality in education, employment, and generally speaking, just to live an ordinary life. They acquire a tremendously fundraised charity from across the country, and they supposedly reutilize that money to promote for blind people independency, and simultaneously, they help blind people to optimally get along. But unfortunately, the video in the section below contains offensive portrayal of blind people. It indeed offends blind people around the world. It helps growing the stereotyped notion that's already there. They were rather supposed to adhere their accountability of refuting the misconception that's constantly associated with blind people competency. The video in the section below promotes mendicancy. That's totally unacceptable. Blind people are not mendicants. I am afraid to say, that in this video, RNIB failed to recognize their mission statement. If I am about to post a video on Youtube, I have to be quite careful though. And in particular, if this video represents, or reflects on the reputation of certain group of people. Please, help us showing our disagreement to what's in this video. Let us help RNIB to get back on track. Click on the video, dislike it, and post a comment that expresses your decline of such an attitude. Feel free to post any constructive criticism. But, we should all refrain from any profanity or inflammatory remarks. Thank you. Mostafa Al'mahdy. </span></font></b></strong><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cJLF1qVpI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cJLF1qVpI</a> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><hr noshade="noshade" size="1"><a></a><p class=""avgcert"" align="left" color="#000000">No virus found in this message.<br>
