What are some problems with the ACB and the NFB? (self.Blind)
submitted by LUCKY12910
What problems should they be working on.

They should endeavor to write better music in 2018, because what they did in the past, was criminal. LOL!

My god, that was horrid. Not sure about the ACB, but NFB has always been really old fation.

In my opinion, it’s one of the worst pieces of music I’ve ever heard, and that’s not just blind music mind you, that’s all music that has ever been performed in the history of the world.

Glad to be of service. :-) There’s a whole host of other terrible NFB songs on the web, just truncate the URL, that I posted, and you can view the entire directory.

This is just based on personal experience.
The NFB locals are active and supportive in my experience, but the further up the chain you go, the worse it seems to be.
The NFB hardliners believe in a certain orthodoxy: rigid canes, sleepshade training, no guide dogs or sighted guide, "muh Jernigan", etc seem to take a "barbarians at the gates" approach to those who believe there's a different, perhaps better way to do things. They are conservatives in the classic sense, which isn't necessarily bad, but should really be balanced with earnest self-critique, which they don't do enough IMO.
Also, the ACB vs. NFB sectarianism isn't helpful. Once again this seems like a careerist/national problem than a local one.
