CMV:Racism, sexism and general discrimination will only begin to fade when we stop pointing fingers and accept that "Us" vs "Them" isn't real, there is only "Us" on this earth.

It's a fairly accepted fact that humans are social creatures and like to form groups. This can have positive effects like a sense of belonging, cooperation and division of burdens. However, to make a group, each member has to have something in common, other than just being human. It could be gender, race, a common vision or belief. You get the idea.

So by uniting based on common characteristics, we automatically exclude those who don't fit the mould. Thus creating every kind of discrimination you can think of.

The worst part is, if you look at groups of people looking to reduce discrimination, they're as much as part of the problem as the original perpetrators. One example of this in action is the reporter who was kicked out of a Black Lives event in CSU. African Americans have a long history of mistreatment in the US and many have the right to be furious. But the problem is that they see all "whites" as being the perpetrators of this mistreatment and exacerbate the "white vs black" dichotomy. 

My opinion on how to solve these issues is this: I've been told that to solve problems as a couple, you mustn't make it "you" vs "partner", you have to make it "both of you as a couple" vs "the problem". So I think we should apply the same logic to racism and sexism. Women vs men and whites vs blacks (only two of the uncountable amount of dichotomies that exist) can't be solved by separating and pointing fingers at the other group, it can only be solved by uniting. There is no Us vs Them, only Us.

Perhaps you've suffered discrimination first hand (as I have) and disagree with my opinion because you want justice above all. In which case, please explain your opinion.

Interpersonal relations have improved, and interpersonal discrimination is less prevelant than it once was (that is not to say it has disappeared). The issue is that those forms of discrimination are now systemic, implicit. For example, schools and neighborhoods are still highly segregated due to white flight, and because public schools are funded by taxing local residents, richer white neighborhoods can fund better schools while poorer black ones cannot, resulting in a massive achievement gap.

Think of it as a problem of the commons, the issue isn't that one individual does it, but so many do. As a result, the group's actions adversely affect another: systemic discrimination. Uniting under one banner as you, and many others, have suggested is a noble goal, but it doesn't address the issue that one group's actions are unintentionally yet adversely affecting the other. Calling out the side-effects of another group's actions isn't segregating, as you put it. It's necessary in order to address the problem.
