WHO WE ARE...AND WHO WE ARE NOT

Q: Are the Proud Boys Anti-Immigrant? 

A: No, The Proud Boys welcome members of all races and backgrounds, provided they embrace Western culture and reject political correctness or identity politics. The focus is not race or origin—but cultural alignment.

​

Q: What is a Western Chauvinist?

​

A: A Western chauvinist is someone who unapologetically values and defends the ideals and achievements of Western civilization—such as individual liberty, free speech, and the rule of law—regardless of race or gender. Contrary to common misconceptions, being a Western chauvinist is not rooted in racism or misogyny.

​

Q: Are You A Violent Gang?

​

A: No, the Proud Boys are not a violent gang. That label is misleading and politically motivated. The Proud Boys identify as a pro-Western fraternal organization that believes in defending traditional values—not initiating violence.

​

Q: Are you White Supremacists?

​

A: We are not white supremacists; that’s completely false and a common lie spread by those who oppose freedom. There are Autonomous Proud Boys who are black, white, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American. Please refer to our tenets regarding our strong stance against racism. it is not uncommon to see Proud Boys opposing white supremacists or Nazis in public. Anyone you see who is wearing Proud Boys attire and promoting racism is not an Autonomous Proud Boy and is either an impostor or a member of a federal chapter.
