why does helen keller play the piano with one hand? she sings with the other
Are you making a joke about Helen Keller's disabilities?
It's an illusion. She's blind and pretends to see. Now I'm disabled in one way or another so I get to know how she feels.
Making jokes out of people with disabilities desensitizes people to their suffering. It makes it seem like it's not too bad and the suffering is light if jokes are made out of their disabilities. Folks could even point and laugh at them if it gets out of hand.
I pity her and I'm blind, deaf and mute. That's why I know.
I'm glad that you are able to make jokes about your own disabilities, but you should be careful who you tell jokes like this to. Some people think that Helen Keller is a hero and would be really offended by jokes about her. But I also understand that humor is a great tool people use to cope with their own hardships.
