@earl-of-trumps saidGlad you asked that, because I'm sure it was an innocuous group that the Southern Poverty Law Center said was all racist, etc.
@vivify 2) A notorious white supremacist group was invited and scheduled to attend.
Clearly, this wasn't just about "free speech".
Excuse me? what notorious white supremacist's group are you ever talking about?
Can't believe a word the SPLC says.
@athousandyoung saidTheir founder Gavin McInnes said this:
The Proud Boys are not White Supremacist. They are Western Male Chauvinist.
" I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life."

Kinda sounds "White Supremacist".

@no1marauder saidHe means that he expects non whites to fully assimilate and absorb WASP culture (religion not really a factor but English language is, standard Anglo American use of the word "white" ). If they do so he's cool with them. I believe McInnes initiated a Samoan named Tiny and the organization is currently led by a Black Hispanic. Cultural "whiteness" - they don't talk about "blood and soil" like real White Supremacists do.

Gavin McInnes has formally separated himself from the Proud Boys because they've become too violent and aggressive.

@athousandyoung saidThere are over 20 countries that comprise Mexico/Central/South America....and maybe 50 more that are African/Middle East /Muslim.....can you point to any of them and claim a Hispanic America will be a better place to live?
He means that he expects non whites to fully assimilate and absorb WASP culture
Or a Muslim country?
Or an African one?
OF COURSE they are expected to assimilate, because the country/culture they are coming from has been a failure for them , that's why they want to come to America to begin with.

proud boys were not at the melee
"Philip Anderson was assaulted at the rally against "Twitter and Big Tech" which was attended by several people with links to far-right and white supremacist groups, including Proud Boys".
@vivify
Anderson was on their side and was punched by the opposition.
Someone needs to shake you awake.
@cheesemaster saidAccording to Dood111, it was by another black man. Irrelevant.
