I agree completely, Steve. I wish we could acknowledge the problems young men are facing, and not have to make it exclusively "men of color," assuming falsely that "obviously, white young men are completely fine." I see a parallel in the way white feminists have been demonized as upper class white oppressors, and that all the legitimate feminsts are women of color.

Yeah, the problem, as is often the case, is that there are grains of truth mixed in with the craziness. All the way back to Sojourner Truth asking "ain't I a woman?" there has been a degree to which feminism ignored, or at least missed, the issues of women who weren't white.
But then, as almost always happens, this gets boiled down to "white feminists bad, black feminists righteous."
It's so frustrating to see, on issue after issue, people failing to see others as anything but their groups.
