John, from what I have been reading there is a fundamental difference
between the blind community and the deaf community, and it has to do with
communication. There isn't the communication gap between blind and sighted
people that there is between deaf and hearing people. Until that is
resolved, deaf people need their own culture, to satisfy that natural human
need to belong and be excepted. Blind people, or at least those of us in the
federation, seek an equal standing in mainstreamed society, to be excepted
among our sighted peers as equally vital and equally capable.

Dave:

I am a big fan of segregation with gates.  This means the separation is not
at all complete but at the same time it's not complete integration.  I don't
know what it's like in the blind community or what values you all have, but
in the deaf community, those who went to public schools and were
"integrated" invariably, when they are adults, wish they hadn't gone to
public school but instead to deaf schools.

You understand, those who went to public schools grew up feeling inferior
and rejected.  Many of them would, in a misguided effort to make friends,
try to act hearing and would try all sorts of unhealthy tactics to try and
be accepted.  Girls, for example, would discover early that giving hearing
boys sexual favors would get them momentary attention and they can't figure
out why they always get dumped afterwards.  There is a wealth of research
that shows that deaf children in public schools develop very serious
psychological problems and are ill-adjusted and "weak."  

Because of these problems, they do not do well in life.  They're not
assertive, self-sufficient, etc.  Many would start over from square one
after discovering on their own the deaf community.  They'd rebuild
themselves, build up their self-esteem, etc. and it's only then that they
start having a real life and to succeed--both in the deaf and hearing
worlds.

To get the best of both worlds, a balancing act between the two doesn't
work--it is too stressful and rife with failures.  Nor does trying to
integrate completely in the hearing world work, because deaf people just
aren't hearing people and their trying to be is actually very
counterproductive.  The more they try, the more disappointing the results
and the more the hearing reject them.  What works is for the deaf to have
their own home base where they belong completely and are at complete ease,
and then they are also guests of the hearing world.  As guests, they don't
try to be hearing or like them, don't try to downplay their differences.
They just are themselves, and as guests, they do get a lot of respect and
the hearing are usually good and gracious hosts.

The deaf colleges are wonderful not only in giving deaf people a higher
education, but in helping them start over if they are coming in from public
schools and hearing families.  At those colleges, the public school
graduates are reborn.  Those whwo went to deaf schools simply continue their
education in the same totally accessible way they've enjoyed at deaf
schools.

Did having those deaf colleges result in a deaf ghetto?  No.  There is no
such thing.  The result is that most of them are confident and strong
individuals, and it is extremely difficult for hearing people to manipulate
them.  Those who never went to deaf schools or deaf colleges are like, you
know, Uncle Toms, like Oreos, black on the outside, but white inside.
They're pushovers, for the most part.

Don't get me wrong.  The mainstream has its uses, and it's good to be mobile
in it, to work in it, and to milk it for resources such as income and
clothes and such.  But because the deaf have a complete, highly-developed
culture, they don't need to "belong" elsewhere, and being part of the
mainstream just isn't desirable.  And I am in line with it, because, to be
honest with you, American mainstream culture leaves a great deal to be
desired.

Now, I don't know what blind people's values are.  From your message, it
seems you are against any sort of segregation.  Does that mean your goal is
inclusion in mainstream society?

John

The notion of having a "blind college" seems to be a mixed bag at best, to
me.  It smacks of segregation, the blind ghetto, and doesn't seem like
progress to me.  We have to live in a sighted world, so that sort of
segregation is only putting off the inevitable.

I understand, for whatever it is worth, that the deaf marry within their own
community more then any other disability group.  I presume it is a
communication thing.  While deaf persons "appear" to be more "normal" than
blind persons, the communication thing is a huge barrier.
