Subjectivity is valuable because people's lived experiences are valuable - because people's spoken truths are, in and of themselves, truths.

I was robbed and beaten up by a black guy, ergo everyone should be afraid of and avoid black guys because they're robbers. Is this the subjective truth applied to the collective that you're speaking of?

No, that just means you're a racist. Big surprise.

No, if subjective truth is TRUTH then whatever I believe is true... is true. I need no evidence and need not prove anything to anyone.
