Re: [QUAD-L] Where Is This Minority

Re: [QUAD-L] Where Is This Minority

We are a group of individuals brought together by common circumstances. therefor we Are a group of disabled people united for a fight against discrimination. that sole factor makes us a united minority... if we want to see it or not.

Re: [QUAD-L] QUESTION

As quadriplegic, we are a minority within the disabled community. A member regardless of any other group we belong(ed) to. It is a minority which binds us together, regardless of race, creed, gender, or monitary class. In a way, we are a minority in which all other social barriers are meaningless.
