In this writing, we need to challenge the sociological problem of hate-motivated attitude by Alexander Graham Bell supporters that are against American Sign Language (ASL) that should report in the society as a perpetual and rough adventure in the world of evil lies in layers. I believe rather firmly that sociological problems are like bullying that are as urgent as anywhere in America that belittle ASL.

To say “hate” exists is really only a truncated form of expression. It is a fragment, in the semantic sense, because what we need to assert is that there is a language which satisfies the propositional function identifying the fact of our being Deaf, and ASL–as a linguistic community. To assert hate, for example, is to assert that hate do not belong to the fact of our primary language, ASL. There is knowledge of hate that can be obtained by merely looking at it; Hate owes it existence to the way it has been used.

Last night, I was reading a book about Francis Maginn, an Deaf Irishman who was the founder of the British Deaf Association (BDA) which was very fascinating to read, he said something about AGBell in The Deaf Mute: 

We advise the Royal Commission to hesitate before accepting all which the Professor advances. Having been in America and knowing something of Dr. Bell, I wish to say that the deaf mutes of the United States recognise the fact that he is acting in all sincerity and with the best of intentions, and that their esteem for him is not lessened by the contempt in which they hold his theories.

Exactly! Even today in 2017, AGBell are still acting in all sincerity and with the best of intentions to tell society that ASL is not the best self-esteem for Deaf people–and his theories are hateful. As hate is the language of bigotry used in AGBell’s America and our far neighbours can be said to owe it nature to the way the language bigotry have been created and used.  A reasonable question we can put to everyone reads: “How do we know what we are telling you?” Most likely we must use ASL to expression our own experience as Deaf people.

Of course, as a survivor of hate-motivated attitude from AGBell’s philosophy, the people who works for Alexander Graham Bell spread lies about ASL that would destroy Deaf people’s lives—as we grow tired of AGBell’s hatred and its linguistic overuse at all. I think AGBell keeps linguistic “hit lists” and target ASL that they make sure it shall be endangered one day.

That is why we need to focus more on sociological problems to minimize hate in Deaf community—away from AGBell. No formal apologies will ever issue by the hate group, AGBell for spreading false information about ASL. Hate mongers do exist in all chapters that supports AGBell. Please leave ASL alone. Thank you!
