I don't see the problem with labels, labels identify people. Labels make us different the same way holding a different job makes us different, we are all different to an extent, the only thing we all have in common is that we are all humans

Still not getting it. Yes, there is no way to avoid labels. There is also no way to avoid the past. I am saying that our species needs a reality check in that we are not a separate species.
We are, everyone has a certain group to avoid - I for example don't wish to meet with clergymen and neo-nazis, and I see no reason to get along with any of those groups.

Oh and I am getting it, I just think it's a ridiculous position because it's factually impossible to eliminate labels unless we create a worldwide anarchist internationalist society where everyone lives happily ever after - Something I don't look forward to try.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
