/ #744 Further on than Racism

2010-10-29 22:22

Racism imposes itself through many practices. However, I really think that the history of the prohibition of the sign languages of the world has to do with something further than racism, something ever greater and more tremendous than racism, something that has no name nor in English nor in Spanish, something that exceeds racism and that even exceeds linguicide. Perhaps genocide, perhaps... Or may be we are in need for another word.
I as a sign researcher with always worked in close collaboration with Deaf People stand in favor of this petition with all my heart and all my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
