Meet some of the people who would identify with the demographics these groups speak for and you'll find a great deal of disagreement over the expected behaviour of their representatives.

It is a mistake to think that all black youth and lgbt think alike. But people seem to be making that mistake because they have come to form the identities of all lgbt and black youth based on the characteristics of BLM and Pride extremists. Unfortunately too much media attention on these unrepresentative groups tends to homogenize the view of the related demographic, to their own detriment.

Fortunately, there is at least one voice on the G&M oped board who understands the perils of this. It is always a pleasure to read Wente's correcting opinions.
