In the case of the economy, it's not their fault, and I wouldn't personally read it with a negative or condescending tone. As a country, we failed to properly transition areas dependent on manufacturing to a post industrial economy. The world grew past them. 

If it's referring to antiquated social views, I'd read it with the condescending tone, though I'm not sure if we have to coddle racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry. People tend to grow past these views by being exposed to the populations they hold stereotypes and negative views of. The problem is we're a very segregated nation with many bubbles and we have less opportunities to genuinely interact with people outside of those bubbles.
