No, The Proud Boys Are Not White Supremacists

They're not even "white." They have 10-20% black, Hispanic, and Asian membership. A lot of Samoans, it seems like. 

If these are "white supremacists," they're very bad at their jobs. Or so says this Racist, at least. A black professor who studies hate crimes and hate crime hoaxes. 

Wilfred Reilly, associate professor of political science at Kentucky State University, said Wednesday that "the Proud Boys aren't white supremacists," describing the right-wing group's beliefs as "Western chauvinist" and noting that their international chairman, Enrique Tarrio, is Black. 

"Gotta say: the Proud Boys aren't white supremacists," tweeted Mr. Reilly, author of "Hate Crime Hoax." ... Mr. Reilly said that about 10% to 20% of Proud Boys activists are people of color, a diverse racial composition that is "extremely well-known in law enforcement," based on his research. 

"Enrique Tarrio, their overall leader, is a Black Cuban dude. The Proud Boys explicitly say they�re not racist," Mr. Reilly told The Washington Times. 

"They are an openly right-leaning group and they'll openly fight you -- they don't deny any of this --but saying they're White supremacist: If you're talking about a group of people more than 10% people of color and headed by an Afro-Latino guy, that doesn't make sense." 

I notice that the same people demanding that everyone denounce the Proud Boys -- including those people on the nominal corporate-funded right -- never, ever demand that anyone denounce antifa -- despite the ample video of antifa "protesters" screaming the n-word and the c*** slur right into the faces of black cops.
