This has been a whole thing, there’s a decent number of non-white members of the group who are in it more for the hating women and LGBT+ people than the hating… themselves and they figure they’ll be safe, but of course they’re not.
Enrique Tarrio is the most high-profile one, he was chairman of the group until recently when they threw him under the bus after he was arrested for stealing and later burning a Black Lives Matter banner from a church during the unrest in DC late last year.
Now, to be fair he informed on a lot of Proud Boys to try and mitigate his sentence, but their statements denouncing him were… shall we say racially charged.
The weird thing about Enrique is that he presented as white until after the murder of Heather Heying. Earlier mugshots from his previous crimes show him trying very hard to pass as white. Then, when McInnes came under fire for running a nearly all-white white supremacist street gang, Tarrio was deeply tanned and Tiny Toese, his enforcer, was trotted out as “proof” of their “inclusiveness”.
I like to refer to those who aspire to fit into white society, but who have melanin, as the alt-white. Think dorks like Andy Ngō, or that one Canadian island professor booted for his ties to a white supremacist group.
White supremacist ideology is far from dead.
But it’s good to know none of these jerks can find a date.
If they want “Housewives” they should try 1950.
But then they would be mistaken for large children, with their baseball hats and shorts and pudgy tummies.
Which is how antifa started in Portland back then - to kick their neoNazi asses out. And why antifa become more active recently, too. No neoNazis, no antifa.
Predates Proud Boys, though, it should be noted. Goes back to the 1980s, when the streets of Portland were full of white supremacists who could basically do whatever they wanted. White Aryan Resistance (WAR), which was Tom Metzger’s outfit, had a strong presence back in those days.
