Hmmm... after having to go to a darkweb search engine to find their website (it wasn't listed on the "biggies"--I wonder why?), I read through their "tenets" section. Interestingly, it didn't mention the KKK or anything at all about white supremacy.

Here is what I found (I added my opinion to the side):

Minimal Government (Damn straight, I'm for that one)
Maximum Freedom (Check two: damn straight I'm even MORE for that one)
Anti-Political Correctness (Yep, 100% agree)
Anti-Drug War (I'm okay to this point)
Closed Borders (Hmm, well not completely on board here. Let's say "closed to illegal immigration"))
Anti-Racial Guilt (Agree 100%)
Anti-Racism (I'm not for coddling, but I am for not looking down on anyone for any skin color)
Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment) (Yep. Check)
Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment) (Still on board, check)
Glorifying the Entrepreneur (Agreed)
Venerating the Housewife (assuming the housewife wants to be there, yep)
Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism (mmmm, I don't like that word "chauvinism." If it had said western "civilization and culture," I'd have gone for that one.)

Ten out of twelve ain't bad. And you know, it's funny, but I just can't see how a tenet in the official website that specifically states "Anti-Racism" can be equated to or associated with the KKK.

Could someone explain that to me?

The Left falsely playing the race card. Business as usual

Default Since the link from Yahoo news with the Proud Boys wearing Kilts doesn't work it seems....

Here is the Picture of the few that did. Not like ALL WERE. There are plenty YouTube videos too of these Rally's recently and month ago.

Still the maker of these Kilts is a LGBQ owned Virginia Company - called - VERILLAS
and no longer will sell this style since the Proud Boys took a liking to them.

One picture here and we shall see if link continues to work?

...and Fred Perry won't sell their classic black and yellow twin tipped tennis shirt in the US as TPB co-opted it as their "uniform."
