yeah, you can get where it comes from perfectly fine and still think it's baloney, which i do. on that same token, it's not as ridiculous as the time i read a magazine article blaming white people for the advent of the antibiotic, but it's almost there. i'm all for putting blame in its place, especially when it comes to institutionalized racism and all that grief, but there are just some things that seem like they're... reaching. just a bit.
and yeah, the independence thing makes sense. kind of a want to actually go and earn what you're going to eat or use rather than just going to buy it? good skills to have, all things told.
