Green Day performed at a Super Bowl party, where Billie Joe Armstrong implored ICE agents to 'quit your s----y job... Come on this side of the line.'

    The proud boys are a lot of things, racist is not really one of them. The founder even moved away when they became to accepting in 2017.

    Know your Enemy.

    Although the Proud Boys emerged as part of the alt-right, McInnes distanced himself from the movement in early 2017, saying the Proud Boys were alt-lite while the alt-right’s focus was on race.

      Even the Wikipedia article you referenced contradicts your assertion that the group itself isn’t racist.

      While Proud Boys leadership has denied being a white supremacist organization, the group and some of its members have been connected to white supremacist events, ideologies, and other white-power groups throughout its existence.

      According to the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism the group believes that traditional masculinity and Western culture are under siege, using “Western chauvinism” as euphemism for the white genocide conspiracy theory.[4] Members have participated in overtly racist events and events centered around fascist, anti-left, and anti-socialist violence.[4]

      Seems like you should do more work on knowing your enemy.

        I also go by what i heard on Jubilee surround videos, where members describe their membership.

        Kinda just sounds like dull mens club, but with violent militia groups as chapters.
