Neither should we compromise with black supremacist marxists who demand reparations for crimes 99% of Americans alive didn't commit. Proud boys might be edgy but they don't tell people on live TV and on college campuses they're born with an original sin that can only be cleansed through self humiliation and reparations. The real racists are BLM. Always have been, always will. The cultural marxists have done a lot of work to spin it the other way. When everything that runs counter to the intellectually perverse dogma of the far left activists is called "white supremacist" and "racist" it loses all meaning.
People who say BLM is racist usually don’t care about the racial injustices in society. BLM doesn’t mean only black lives matter. It’s pointing out that black people are disproportionately mistreated by the police and our criminal justice system. Any recognition that there are still black people alive today who couldn’t drink from the same water fountain at one point in their lives is too much for them to handle.
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are probably in panic mode. If the people start getting along, where does that leave them? And their platform? If racism dies, the Democrat platform dies with it, right? I can see Pelosi say to Schumer: “Chucky, we need a diversion”. “Any way we can authorize use of nuclear weapons against someone”?
I have a little different take on this. Racism and more importantly to the democratic party, race baiting isn't going away, so they're all good on that. What's problematic for them is the excuse making and often outright denial of the threat posed by Antifa. This newly forming alliance between the Proud Boys and BLM identifies a common enemy. Neither group has much love for Antifa, and the BLM group has come to realize their message is being lost in the chaos Antifa creates. The democratic party needs to distance themselves from Antifa, but this violent mob also is representing much of the leftist base. This is why Biden won't be so direct with Antifa as he was with the Proud boys in telling them to "cease and desist". The violent mob Antifa is a monster born and bred out of far left Democrats and without that far left support the Democrats are dead in the water.
