America is a multi racial flawed democracy with a sordid history. Addressing historical inequities and grievances is the first and necessary step before a new national consciousness. We perhaps saw a glimpse of what could be in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up as a kid, a decent but somewhat precarious middle class and strong sense of nationhood. This requires structural reforms in addition to the changes in thought you propose. We have to address both black and white working class grievances or it will bury this country.
