    Can I just say, I really appreciate the reporter asking her questions in ASL! The detail does not go unnoticed, and I can tell she worked hard to get it right. I haven't seen that kind of inclusivity in most interviews. Right on!

      Since her grandfather and mother are sign language educators, I think it’s like a second language to her. Notice that her mom teaches at the same university as the professor.

    In the 1800's a convention of teachers to the Deaf decided no deaf person should use any type of sign language around the world. Many of the teachers of ASL at that time fled to the Black deaf schools and taught at many of their schools because Black Deaf schools weren't considered as rigorous as the formerly White Deaf schools now teaching Oralism. Fortunately, White Deaf students secretly signed away from the hearing teachers and their spies and helped conserve much of the original ASL. During that time though Black Deaf benefited from the advantage of White Deaf teachers. Language development Is fascinating and the survival of Deaf communication in America is full of drama and miracles. I am grateful ASL survives, thrives and is rich in dialects from Black ASL to Northeastern and Western ASL flavors.
    Krya Phillips signing and the conversation brought me to tears. Many fathers wish their daughters would speak to them... Her ability opens doors for communication I hope ABC continues to share.

    There is another story. I wasn't there, so I don't really know. A time came that signing was forbidden to white deaf students so they might learn to read lips and speak clearly. The segregated black deaf students were allowed to continue using ASL. The white students lost knowledge of signing during the years of oralist repression. When the repression ended, and racial segregation ended, the black deaf shared with the white deaf. Black people saved ASL.

    I'm an ASL interpreter and I have a few questions and I'm suuuuper hoping a black deaf person(s) reads this and answers my questions. I live in Utah where most people here are as white as it gets. It's because of this that I am unfamiliar with black signs, and the etiquette that goes along with them. I always strive to educate myself and improve so that I can be a good interpreter for the Deaf/HH community, so please let me know if my questions are offensive. Is it offensive of me to ask what black signs are to improve my vocabulary? Also, since it is my job to articulate my interpretation as best I can to match the person speaking/signing, is it offensive if I use black signs as a white interpreter? For example, if I am interpreting for a black hearing person who is using black terminology, is it offensive if I use the black signs connected to that terminology?

      Hi I am black deaf woman. When I was a student at Gallaudet and the black interpreter ask me if I understand her ASL signing, which it no problem for me. But for others that I saw some white students who aren't comfortable with black interpreter and they did make alot of corrections of her asl signing and expression to satisfy in demanding the white students' expectations. Few white students in my class, make a report to remove her out of the classroom for good. Its was sad judgment from them.

      They're preserving another way of speaking, not replacing the standard that already exists. It was only ever created out of necessity anyway, since at the time even deaf black children weren't given a way of communicating since they weren't allowed in deaf schools. They're not stating that BASL should replace ASL or even supplement it. Just that it should be preserved and its history is understood since people think they're so far removed from history.

    Is Black sign language the same trend as Ebonics?
    I remember when some black people thought "Ebonics" was going to be the next "black" language. But 90% of Black Americans never heard of the term Ebonics. Ebonics was changed into being called African American Vernacular English. This is a type of "slang" language which is a sloppy form of using the English language.

      I'm not sure you watched the video. It states early on that black people weren't actually able to learn ASL since schools for the deaf didn't accept blacks, so deaf black people had to make up their own language based on what little they could get from standard ASL. The point of preserving the language is more to preserve that understanding, not take the place of ASL.

    My fellow American Patriots, we offer prayers and guidance to all working class nationalists throughout the world. We have noticed that American patriots do not discuss the bigger picture. So allow me to clarify a small problem that is very hidden in America. So there is a world cartel of families that run this world, they are not interested in nationalism whatsoever. These are the same families that sold guns n cannons to Napoleon, and us English at the same time. The same lot financed both sides of WW1 and WW2, and surprise your civil war. These people are called globalists, every British prime minister and American President have taken orders from them!!! Except one, and that is what you lot are going through right now. WAKE UP AMERICA, BRITAIN HAS TWIGGED BEFORE YOU !!

    • @fthr2824
      @fthr2824 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I understand the confusion, but basically it's the only standard black deaf people had as they weren't allowed in schools of the deaf. "The first school for the deaf in the United States, the American School for the Deaf (ASD), was founded in 1817 but did not admit any black students until 1952." - per google search and wikipedia article.
      Now that people are now allowed to learn ASL univerally, it's basically phased out, but people still mix in things from BASL. Preserving it is basically about preserving that part of history and cultural pride, but it isn't really trying to do much else. Hope that helped.
