OK, at least I thought it was good; it's a cheat sheet

Cheat Sheet

To me, just being aware helps me to question the biases. And to accept some (I'm always going to look for the good; I'm always going to emphasize politeness and respect over conflict -- those are how I'm built).

Perception is reality.

You should know that I understand this thinking of yours and I get it. But I often wonder if you understand that someone else can have a completely different perception from yours and that their reality is just as valid as yours.

Perception is not reality, hence the eye witness conundrum.

So if my perception of Evangelicals is that the vast majority (not all, but certainly most) are bigoted, hypocritical lying idiots, people who shit ALL OVER that Jesus fella and his teachings, then that's 'reality'?

Well then, that justifies a lot mistrust, misunderstanding and a fair amount of the hatred in the world then. It must kind of suck to be you.

No, because I know who I am, where I came from, and where I am going. The Bible provides the answers.

Actually, it is more accurate to say, Whose I am.

There is more than one reality? That's pretty woke.

I would expect that to be his perspective regarding his 3%'ers group, since they have been labelled a terrorist  group. Even by the Canadians.

Hey, being alert to injustice in society is the definition of being woke, even if it's a far right terrorist group.  That's a good start.  The next step is realizing that people other than you have had injustices perpetrated on them.
