yeinesomemdarre: disasterbisexualhere: this is important! Just a fun fact, Black ASL and other sign languages here are often dominated and marginalized by the predominance of ASL and ignorance towards minority communities. Similar to the effects of forceful dominance of King’s English, other sign languages are facing erasure due to this. Every Deaf child should have a signed language that fits their culture and community, and lesser known/recognized signed languages should be preserved before they are pushed out over time!! This is outlined on the International Advocacy page of the National Association of the Deaf: Please remember ASL isn’t the only signed language in the United States, and other signed languages deserve this much advocacy! -- source link
