Until this week, I had never heard of Proud Boys. And I’m probably more informed than 98% of people. Where did these guys come from all of a sudden?

There are black members in the Proud Boys, so they are most definitely not a White Supremacist organization.

They’ve been around - as far as I recollect, 2017 - as a counterpoint to BLM. I’ve not seen anything that shows them as racist, but ANTIFA constantly calls them such, and of course not being racist is now considered racist.
