1. By any measure of social health men of all racial backgrounds are hurting.

I'm not going to get into which is the more pressing problem, because in my view suicide and violent victimization are both front burner issues.

White men, black men, hispanic men and native american men all suffer the ills that afflict men in varying proportion. I'm not sure that there's all that much to be gained by prioritizing suicide because it afflicts white guys or alcoholism because it afflicts native american guys or violent victimization because it afflicts black guys or workplace injury because it afflicts hispanic guys.

I think that men should demand remedies to ALL of them because they collectively harm men (and their families) in general.
