I'm sympathetic to this, but I ultimately think it's barking up the wrong tree. In my analysis, it seems to me that the problems we face in third density stem from the outstanding lessons we have to learn. Learn the lesson, solve the problem.
So the question is: what lesson are we working on in apprehending these issues of bigotry and separation? Does using the labels help us or retard our progress?
As much as I consider myself a critic of so-called "political correctness", I don't think we can route around group identities and the separation they entail. Do the labels create the divisions between people, or do the labels name the already-existing divisions so that they can then be worked with? And what is the work to be done in learning the lessons: obliterating the labels that allow us to apprehend the underlying separation, or working with the separation through the countless labels?
I think Jade hit the nail on the head: we are here to be individuals and members of group dynamics that typify yellow ray. None of the situation on this planet is something that we have a direct, individual role in originating. We are here now with these things as they are.
The challenge is not so much to rid our illusory experience of any constructs that allow us to conceive of separation. The challenge is to channel our desire for love and light through the social complex as it is. So long as these societal concepts are workable constructs, so long as they teach us what we came here to learn, we're simply doing the work within the game rules that exist.
This doesn't mean the rules, the concepts, the labels will never change, you understand. It simply means that what we're here to do is far, far more flexible than the rules, and we can make those rigid social constructs more malleable and less constraining as a function of our love and behavior. This is what it is to be awake: to be applying your energy to learning how to manifest your best in every situation, even ones that seem stacked against us from the beginning. It is a creative task and not clear-cut, and it requires our attention and energy.
