lol I think the official gear is a blue and gold polo shirt.

To OP, it's a patriotic group like the DOTAR except, like the title suggests, they're boys, anyone can join, and they don't mind busting some commie heads.

This guy is one of the leaders. (You may notice that he's not white)

Thank you. I’m looking into it.

I just find it funny Trump was asked to denounce these guys who seemingly have a very small following meanwhile Biden never got asked to denounce Antifa which everyoneeeeeee knows.

Uh, is DOTAR supposed to be Daughters of the American Revolution? If it is, it's a bad comparison; the Proud Boys are not similar to DAR in any way, shape or form.

I feel bad absorbing all the downvotes when I agree with everyone in here.

Fred Perry is the clothing line they wear. Typically, it is black and gold colors that they choose to wear but I've seen them wear red and blue also.

Charlottesville is really when they jumped on the map. They are boots on the ground for the right side.

Yeah, it's a glaring double standard. We live in a world where patriotism is radical and overt pro-American ideas are "alt-right".

Best thing is it was started as a joke by Gavis MacInness and Anthony Cumia. It was a "social club" for men, to counter all the PC soy boi nonsense. It was satire that turned into something else. Even Mr. Provocateur Gavin has distanced himself from it.

Now they exist just to beat up Antifa.

I don't know what you guys are smoking but they are definitely racist. Here's some of their own words:

Proud Boys

SPLC thinks The Knights of Columbus are a hate group.


What kind of charlatan even visits that website?

I used patriotism to compare them. Patriotism is a common ethos. Of course, I didn't mean to insinuate they were the same.

What I know about them is if you want to join, you have to be "jumped in" while naming 5 breakfast cereals... after you name the 5 breakfast cereals, it's over and you are a member

Gavin McInnes (remember him) was part of the founding

That's all I got.

an alt right group thats really some libertarians that are for mens rights

They arent really racist or anything, they just think there is an attack on white men. And they arent really that big here but are considered some kkk type threat. Just boogey man type crap.
