Much appreciated Juan. Please follow this with an analysis of the work of progressives to reframe our thinking, or if you've already done so please point us back to it.
Exactly! -- working to change the system -- way beyond trying to teach oppressed people how to succeed in it against long odds, or even that they all can succeed in it, as though it's then all their own fault if/when they don't.
Outstanding comment IMO, Juan, until the last sentence -- "But more importantly, the people with genuine grievances about lack of jobs and lack of opportunity and lack of dignity need to be taught how to get those things in a positive way." -- as though the right teaching is all that all these people with genuine grievances need, despite the oppression of class and the rigging of the system. En garde! -- it looks to me like you let the devilish old right-wing canard of individual responsibility slip in and seize the last word.

Well said Juan: a leading-edge response and demand.
