Up until about five years ago, there was no such thing as your truth or my truth, only THE truth. The whole concept of “My Truth” is a real-world Orwellian redrafting of history before our very eyes. MyTruthers believe what actually happened is irrelevant as long as they felt like it did in their “lived experience”. To this day Meghan Markle has failed to produce a scrap of evidence for her racism smear on the royal family but it doesn’t matter. Her feelings don’t care about your facts.
It doesn’t stop there. Well-known phrases are now under attack. The term “black sheep” has been used for centuries to describe a member of a group who doesn’t quite fit in or is otherwise scapegoated. But according to the woke dictionary, black sheep is now a racial slur. Fields are problematic now too. That’s right — fields. Reporters on assignments are described as working in the field. Scientists, students and researchers have a field of study. But the University of Southern California banned the word as “anti-Black” on the basis that slaves and migrants also worked in fields.
