CONTROVERSIAL

Updated: Oct 31, 2020

Going against the status quo first one has to find exactly where it rests [@play].

This is a poll CEMoore created presented during October 2020 using an online service to its internal members. The image is from Nextdoor.com a website where neighbors can exchange services recommendations and tips about local life as well as insights; it is free app.


Above, an anonymous inquiry asking about the specific language defining this poll. The question is only valid if one wants to play less than cognitive about terms that are acceptable and unacceptable. Above one can see the question has been reframed using the same terms and emphasized using one single emoji.

That emoji the German flag with the term “Not See” emphasizes that if one repeats 10x over internally reiterates this is something that one should know. The collective knowledge is the precise data that one should know Not See symbol is the exact same as Nazi symbol.

I present this poll and the statistics it generated plus my funny Inspector Gadget comment prodding viewers to respond because these people’s point wasn’t to kindly give their opinion. These responses were made to drive my 100% yes down to a less accurate 20% equal to what presents is valued as NO.


Two symbols have been infused into this design therefore it is confusing for viewers to discern just one. This poll was presented specifically to a POC group. POC is an acronym for People of Color that means that the 75 people who belong to this group probably consider themselves allies understanding others who are not functioning as dominant.


Emphasizing this poll was presented

specifically to POC and allies is because this is where the fault line begins internally misunderstanding terms. Most people who answered this poll were comfortable indicating that they didn’t know what a not see symbol was.

It is easy for humans to lie to one another especially when someone says they are unsure or don’t know something that seemingly should be obvious. This author thinks any adult basic reading comprehension that pays bills should be able to grapple with whether this street sign presents a Nazi symbol or not. Any responsible basic adult comprehension should be able to process that there are certain variables are not acceptable to verbalize very similarly to the “N word” that makes some black people uncomfortable.


The particular issue of racism and the hate it runs off is difficult to pin point using terms or specific language because everyone has been trained to deny before acknowledging. This avoidance of accountability is where financial rewards actually lie. Completely presenting hidden taboos openly exactly like this street sign is currently how racism still exists.


This street sign isn’t some historical archive. This sign is on display in the City of Berkeley, California 2020 today. Berkeley’s notoriety as a liberal town has become a complete hoax reflecting falsified propaganda. The daily day to day functioning is obviously oblivious justifying denial. The easiest terms to describe how it all actually works is “LOOK AWAY.”
