They had a pretty good argument though, and it was valid at the time.


Looks like it isnt now. But back then it was-and I was surprised so many folks tried to turn them into racists when they had a affirmative defense with their "token" non-whites. Proud boys just clarified it for us.

That's what the authorities are for... you know, the ones that the left wants to defund.

What have they done that I should be concerned about? I am much more concerned about Antifa and BLM Inc who has a resume of burning down large sections of communities.

Ehhh... I guess somebody ought to fight white genocide before it is too late and it happens. All the ingredients are there in our society today (watch any BLM or Antifa riot video). Not unlike the "Jewish question" of 1920s Germany. Nobody believed what happened would happen ten years before the fact, either. And the SA were a very small minority as first as well.

It's too bad that so few people on this forum do not understand the difference between a "white nationalist" and a "militant white supremacist." They are not categorically the same.

* A "white nationalist" in basic definition is one who wishes to attain a "nation of white people" (very similar to a segregationist). That does not mean they necessarily think the are superior to other races, just that they want to isolate themselves. There are black nationalists as well, and they feel the same way. They just want to be amongst their "own kind." Personally, I don't really see that as being an evil or violent thing, just a little unrealistic. At least in this nation. On the other hand, a "Hispanic nationalist" would be very happy in many places in Central or South America. Or a "Black Nationalist" in parts of Africa. Or an "Asian nationalist" in the far east.

* A "white supremacist" is someone who thinks their (white) race is superior to others. They may or may not be violent. That's not the same as above.

Yep. We had only been warning about this since Charlottesville and the "Stand Back and Stand By" but were told we are wrong. Are we wrong now?

Apply that argument to the Democratic party. If one of them is racist , all of them are.

Like Portland right?


Fun fact-not a single building has burned down in Portland from the protests or Antifa. Some fire damage from flares mostly. But also some actual attempts. But no buildings burned down.


Minnesota had some though. Including a police precint-but that one was from Trump supporters who are currently in jail.

LOL. Really? The proud boys LEADERSHIP announced this. Tell you what-If Biden comes out saying that Kamala was his "token" minority, but now that hes elected he says we will get back to our white heritage that made us strong, then your nonsense will make sense.


Meanwhile in reality.....

Doesn't this reinforce their argument? It seems an actual white supremacist and his pals are splitting away from the Proud Boys because they aren't white supremacists.

Lol when the leader of your group is a racist and sets out a racist mission statement for your group, if you belong to the group then yes you are racist.

Sure bro, sounds totally not racist.

Yep. No place in the Proud Boys for their kind.

Also, the mass media made it their practice to routinely lie about this group in the past. Hopefully it will come as no surprise to anyone if and when it is discovered that this article was based on more 'fake news'.
