I do think it's funny how the Proud Boys are continually represented as a white supremacist organization when so many of their members, including their leaders, are not white; seems like a bit of a contradiction there.
Just for the record this is the Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio.
As can be clearly seen, he is the typical blond haired, blue eyed, fair skinned white supremacist who thinks brown people are inferior.

Are we supposed to fall over in amazement? he's openly said he's Afro-Cuban. Perhaps I can enlighten you on some of his supporters.
Candace Owens
Dinesh DSouza
Bevelyn Beatty Williams
They don't fit your "idealised" caucasian image either but they support right wing American causes. I'm not blind, 9% of black Americans voted for the GOP in the last two elections.
Of course being "far right" he has to be a little careful around some of his swastika loving "brothers" lest they plunge a knife in his back

I was just replying to what Dox said about the Proud Boys being seen as a white supremacist group. Had nothing to do with you or what you wrote in your reply.

Plethora of googleymoogley results stating that the proud boys are, among other things, a white nationalist organization: https://www.google.com/search?q=proud+b ... e&ie=UTF-8

Mmhmm, couldn't possibly be that an organization that is described as being 'white nationalists,' would have some non-white membership to use as plausible deniability for racial accusations. It's so not a thing that exists that Southpark hasn't satirized it for years..

Kinda like the myth about the black slaves who fought on the side of the Confederacy?
Maybe myth, maybe not.
It's like there was an actual 'gays for trump,' group.. yet the trump administration was in fact particularly anti-lgbt in their policies.
Some people must just like to hate on the groups they identify with.

Were they?
Trump was actually much less socially conservative than previous Republicans, a fact that never seems to penetrate on the left.

Yes, they were. A pandering photo or two of a rainbow flag don't prove otherwise.
Attack on trans military members. Being super pissed about embassies flying pride flags. trump's anti lgbt rhetoric at his hate rallies that fired up his red hat cult to be jerks to lgbt people - resulting in increasing hate crimes, violence, murders, and suicides. Plenty of talk about trump's politicians and right wing judges coming for same sex marriage rights after they obliterated women's rights. etc. The trump administration was remarkably bad for lgbt people - bad enough that there was a noted increase in lgbt Americans seeking to leave the country due to feeling unsafe for their lives now & in the future.
trump posing with a pride flag is just as bs nonsense as him posing with a person of colour and pretending he's not racist, or a women and pretending he's not a misogynist - it's just a photo op for political theatre purposes.
