If Ethnocentric Oppression Exists in America, how should pastors (and all American disciple-makers) disciple their people?

I was asked: If ethnocentric oppression against African Americans exists today, how should Pastors disciple their people? I think most agree that overt hatred and prejudice of others is sinful, and have no problem condemning it as such, but are there more subtle personal sins that should be pointed out and condemned? How does one disciple people to confront structural issues? Is it as simple as discipling people to acknowledge that it exists and to extend sympathy to those who are effected by it? Or must we disciple them to support political/legal measures that aim at addressing them similar to how we might disciple people to support a legal end to abortion?
