Who Are the Proud Boys?

Who Are the Proud Boys?

In the first presidential debate, Donald Trump was asked to denounce some fellow Americans. Joe Biden plucked a talking point from the reaches of his brain, and singled out the Proud Boys as an example of a right-wing hate group he’d demand Trump condemn on TV. Trump shrugged, and the next day admitted he knew little about the group. What if on this, as on so many other issues, Biden wasn’t telling the truth? What if he’s just trying to divert attention from Antifa and Black Lives Matter, whose riots Kamala Harris was supporting till just a few weeks ago? 

The same media that smeared Nick Sandmann as a racist bully and Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh as gang rapists are hard at work. They’re trying to paint this group as “white nationalist,” when in fact it’s nothing of the kind. Of course, the same media echo the 1619 Project, which pretends that the U.S. was founded as a haven for slavery. Even some ill-informed conservatives such as Senator Ted Cruz have mistakenly heard otherwise, and repeated the slander. So let me tell you about the Proud Boys, some of whom are my friends.

Proud of Western Civilization

To get into the Proud Boys you have to pledge that you are a “Western chauvinist.” That means you prefer the civilization of Athens and Jerusalem, Madrid and New York City, to Muslim or Red Chinese empires. Of course, there’s nothing more Western and American than African-Americans, who are equally the heirs of Western civilization as anyone else. That’s why there’s no shortage of black and Hispanic Proud Boys — though you’ll never see them on TV. That might skew the “narrative.”

I wonder if they can sue ABC news... They just called them a “hate group” and “right wing extremists” at the top of the hour news.

They’re trying to paint this group as “white nationalist,”

~~~

WTF does the term “white nationalist” ever have to do with anything.

It’s like claiming that a group is ‘white porcelain dinette enthusiasts’

The implication is that by being a nationalist rather than a globalist, you’re a white supremacist. It’s asinine. Nationalist and racist are not synonyms!

They’ve also specfically been called out as endorsing “violent” actions.

Which isn’t on there at all.

Any “violence in the streets” by PB (or any non-leftist counter-protesters) is a REACTION to the ACTION of leftist groups who are VISIBLY VIOLENT!!!

It's a joke pseudonym - and Karen Walker's alias on the TV comedy series Will & Grace (don’t watch the show – just looked it up)

If the Proud Boys are who they say they are, I support them. Unfortunately, I’m still a little wary of them. I believe that there are people funding Antifa and BLM to sow chaos in our society. It would sow even more chaos to have opposing groups fighting each other. If that is your goal, and you don’t have sufficient opposing groups, maybe you would create them. I hope that’s not what’s happening.
