So what if she makes fun of deaf people. She makes fun of everyone. Nobody is off limits. She's just doing what she does best, being a comedian. If you can't have a little sense of humor than I feel sorry for you. I'm gay and she makes a million crude jokes towards gay people. I don't take offense to it. So just GET OVER IT!!!

This woman says things about different cultures and groups as a joke. I really dont understand why people are upset with this lady. How did any deaf people get offended by this because the last time I check deaf people could not hear what this lady was saying so they had no reason to get offended. The only people who got offended where the people that could hear. These people need to get a life and stop trying to ban someones different views whether they are a joke or not. I get offended everytime I turn on deaf comedy jam on BET because I think what all the black comedians are saying about white folks is racist because white comedians cant make jokes about blacks for fear of being sued. If I get offened I simply turn the channel and I suggest you do the same. I dont understand why people are so thin skinned. This woman says things about different cultures and groups as a joke.

It’s not like they’d laugh, but going, “OMG! I know!!!” or “I know…they talk funny or look weird!!!” It is not a laughing matter at all! We have proficient black and successful leaders that just about everyone can recognize, but deaf?? They are not visible and known other than within us in the community. I am all for freedom of speech - it's a wonderful thing in this country, erm - I mean what's really left of it. *sigh* But that does not mean spewing something out of your mouth if you know the general population has no clue about the deaf people at all or the general attitude towards us is pity, paternalism, or audism. AND people DO think we lack mentality capabilities of functioning like a “normal” person! Shame on her!!!

You miss a point. Majority is not the same as minority. A group of hearing people is categorised as majority whereas a group of deaf people' is cagegorised as a minority. I do not agree with #16 and #22.

Carly, get it through your head that the protest is over. It isn't healthy to dwell on the past with so much anger and rage. Let it go and move on, just like we all did.

We "Deaf" people have been insulted and oppressed all of our lives and this is no longer funny. I understand comedy but hateful messages towards protected classes are not comedy. Deaf people do not find 'God hates Deaf people" funny at all. There are limits where it comes to comedy who uses "hate" messages and anyone who crossed that line is no longer comedy.
