The author has it exactly backwards.   What is needed is exactly not more resentful talk about race and kinship.  Blood consciousness and tribalism are a road to strife.  It's fine to remember where you came from, but a real sense of self worth requires employment and meaningful work.  This has to rest eventually on commerce, economic activity.  That means more capitalism, not less, albeit with some rules.

It's the same force that has brought tens of millions of Chinese out of miserable circumstances:  not fancy words about the collective, but freedom to improve your life by trading with other people, regardless of their race or religious background.
