I can certainly get behind there being regional "realities" that you are describing using race, those are also the realities in some environments of sex, hair color, your car, home, spouse and a myriad of other outward manifestations of self. I would not call them "truth" though, I think that concept must be held at a higher level. I think truth is an almost sacred thing, by definition it is universal not personal. I get in the day to day humans corrupt truth and that is the reality of each of us but that is not truth it is a debasement of it.
Well I think when you put it that way you debase the everyday realities of those people's experience, to say that the black experience in America is the same as me driving a mini cooper is a pretty great debasement. So, what is this universal truth you refer to then? In my mind, gravity is a universal truth, science is a universal truth, compassion and love are universal truths, impermanence is a universal truth. The episode, however, speaks a great deal about scapegoating and our current experience in America, and so that was what I was referring to in my original comment.
