Subjectivism also denies that values are objective.

CR would force Ima to accept all of society's values. If Ima found out that most people approved of racism, he'd have to conclude that racism is good. He couldn't think for himself on moral issues. So he found CR repulsive.
Ima said that growing up requires that we question our inherited values. Our value judgments are about how we personally feel, not about how society feels.
