The ethics of disagreement
BY: USTADH UBAYDULLAH EVANS
The ability of our community to make a concerted intervention, wisely invest our severely limited political capital, and prove the indispensability of our collective vote was nullified by our diversity. I have to let that sink in.
Clearly, the diversity that I previously treated as a net positive may not always be in the best interest of our community. But is there an alternative? Is the term “consensus” just a euphemism for a process by which the will of the advantaged compels the endorsement of the disadvantaged?
