What a beautifully refreshing awakening to a new set of perspectives!
Oh thank goodness, Mr. Bauman, you came to your senses, whew!! (LOL) I'm Deaf and thank you SO MUCH for this. I agree we have a lot to learn from EACH other.
Hat off to you. Finally in a small perspective I haven't look that way. Great job and thank you! I'm sooo sharing this!
While I understand the point in having the sounds distract from the speech because most of the people watching are hearing, maybe at least show the dude signing while it's going on? Otherwise not even Deaf people can understand because you can't see him signing. Otherwise a great speech, but that section was executed poorly.
benefit of being hearing and knowing sign..can hit the mute button and still get the point.
Hey, Iʻm a hearing person too. But everything the speaker tells is visual... So how to learn from from the deaf point of view os by using your eyes. Such a sighted way to perceive the world...

The interpreter's voice sounds like Bill Maher...
Sightism would be the forced perspective of blind studies.
There you are again belittling deaf people. 😐
@@clairee4939 no, I'm showing a different perspective, because advancing technology is going to completely dismantle the Deaf community. I'm opening eyes that are blind to this coming reality.
@@Art_of_Ramon it makes no sense because being deaf isn’t the same a being blind. You can’t just stick us all together because we have one less sense than you that’s ridiculous because senses are unique. You just want to feel superior. Also there’s something very threatening about what you said. It’s an attack. Deaf community must have offended you somehow.
@@clairee4939 It's advanced technology that is superior and you are blind to the massive changes that are coming.
@@Art_of_Ramon I worked it out from your earlier message you are a failed interpreter bitter with Deaf community because you was “let go”. 😂 Well you let us know when there’s a cure! Maybe best to write it down lol 😂
Great talk/speech, but, no one thought that the world was flat...
I do hope you're kidding
History said it was at one point.
Dirksen Bauman robs Deaf people's lives away from pursuit of happiness. He does not deserve to be a professor at Gallaudet University. Funny thing that he was a producer and co-director of the film, Audism Unveiled--he is a purely audist. Mark my words.
Where is your evidence?
He is our Chairman of Deaf Studies. He is anything BUT an audist!
@@TheC3. nah m8
Rene C will you message new and explain?
@@TheC3. I know I'm just a random person, but I think if you sound out m8 = M / 8; the 8 can also sound like: ate. So an audio translation could mean m/ate; mate. Australians use mate as to mean friend or person.
