In my last post I asked, Deaf Minority Blogs: Where Are They?
This question seems to have hit a nerve for some people. This was one the few posts I have made so far that has sparked a stimulating, on-going discussion among multiple participants. Someone else even wrote an excellent blog post about it, [...]
A few hours ago, I announced a new blog site created by a deaf-blind writer, Christine (aka “Coco” or “TactileJunkie” 
(http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/2007/01/11/deaf-blind-blog-christines-tactile-the-world/). And a month ago, I made a point of linking to Jamie Berke’s page listing Deaf Latino web sites.

This story began with my racist act (see Part One); then I took you on a quick flashback through my childhood years (Part Two) and my first year in college (Part Three). Then we returned to the scene of my racist act, but this time with a glimpse inside my head (Part Four). [...]

For those of you on campus who see this in time, I hope you go to this event.
If you’re seeing this after 6 pm and you went, please! Share with us what happened there! I would love to be able to post YOUR summary in this blog (in an entry of its own). [...]

I grew up in an all hearing family. I was luckier than most deaf [...]
It was most likely during my first year as a Gallaudet transfer student that I committed this racist act. So, in the 1989 to 1990 school year. I don’t remember now if I joined them at their cafeteria table or if they joined me at mine, but one way or another I happened [...]
