Your statements are similar to those in the school of thought that if we just ignore race the problem of racism will go away eventually. 

The concept of institutional racism explains nothing. It assigns blame for failures to a nebulous idea. If the real reason you failed is because somebody was racist, then that can be addressed. 

I have said all along that racism is bad, and equal protection is good. Specific incidents of racism should be attacked....no matter what race the victim is. And we should view and refer to each others as equals....as humans. Not as white Americans, or African Americans, or Asians, etc. Morgan Freeman made a great point when asked how we could help to reduce racism. He said stop referring to me as a black man, and you as a white man, just call me a man. That doesn't mean ignore it or don't talk about it...but quit labelling each other in ways that create separation.
