DPN is still on!!! "D"eaf President Now!

Hello Deafizers.. Was I happy when IKJ became president as a result after the DPN? No, I wasn't as soon as I had learned he wasn't deaf all his life! He was raised a hearing person, and his deafness have not made him a Deaf person like us. Unfortunately he was chosen over other Deaf candidates to become president. No where on the planet Earth whomever a person who lived in the Eyeth world was to be chosen instead of him. IKJ had a free ride, and is a puppet, so audism and oppression could prevail. He has not been in our shoes to really be Deaf. He is just merely deaf and still could hear and speak and act like a hearing person. He doesn't reflect or even signify who we all are from this planet Earth that we suffer in all aspects of our lives especially Education, and Gallaudet was supposed to be ours, but is not! When he was chosen over any other who would be the Deaf President, I felt like that we had actually lost the DPN protest! I always have had thought he will live a long time being the president, because he runs in marathons and to live longer tormented my heart and soul, the idea of him being the one. He was flying high as air Jordan? as a King? but in reality it's all artificial. The world thought the DPN protest was won! When he retired and endorsed a fix to guarantee JKF the presidency in a flawed BOT process to be another puppet which happened again and again, which proved the whole world who he was not to be. We are still fighting the DPN ever since, and it had not been won yet, and its our victory this time! We want Gallaudet back! Deaf President Now! DPN DPN DPN SPN (Safe Parking Now protest which happened in 1992/1993, cause I wanted to make it up since I missed the 1988 protest), oops I mean DPN DPN DPN!!!!!!!! Its actually the DPN and wake up!!! Its still going on, DPN DPN DPN, and don't ever give up this time!!!!!!!! I regret dropping out of Gallaudet my very first semester in 1984, and would have been a senior in 1988. I even wonder, would I have made a difference being one of the protestors there? Probably not but we all didn't make a difference in 1988, so we are still fighting the DPN itself. The DPN Sleeping Giant has woken up, and we will bring on the fight again, the DPN protest till we get Gallaudet back!!!!!
