People blame this. People blame that. People blame everything, except people. People themselves are the problem. We always divide into 'Us' and 'Them'. Different people use different dividers. Some use sex. Some use money. Some use religion. Some use ethnicity. Some use other things. But, whatever we use to divide, we always divide. If division were the end of it that would be fine. Us and Them. Them and Us. But we're never satisfied with leaving it at that. We always want to go from Us and Them, to Us versus Them. They must be corrected. They must be contained. They must be controlled. We can voyage into space, and create computer networks that span our globe, yet we can not handle the simple truth that our neighbor is different from ourselves. I believe that humanity will never advance as a species until we can stop seeking to destroy those who pose no true threat to us, but are only different from us.
