This is your regular reminder that the Proud Boys got their name from Disney's Aladdin, 2011 stage musical adaptation. A fact that continues to make me laugh.

I DON'T wanna assume, but Enrique probably hates himself simply because of who he is, right?

Clayton Bigsby in real life.

And after 15 years he has the courage to leave his girlfriend, because she is a n****er lover.

Why is the offspring of caucasian and a black parents always considered black?

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 10 points 22 hours ago

Because race is a social construct and whiteness is seen as the default that can be "tainted"

Nobody sees grey scales

"White" is a state of mind. We used to call it a different name though.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Bottom line, he's a POS.

Self-loathing seems to be a common thread for them

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Oof. I can't imagine the self loathing it must take to try to pretend I'm something I'm not. And not only that, betray who I actually am. There was a guy in college who had a confederate flag in his window with the words "heritage, not hate" dudes last name was ramirez. He was clearly Mexican but claimed he was native American and it was like, dude, that would be even worse! The simple fact that you don't understand the implications... Just wow. I sometimes wonder what ever became of that guy, just out of curiosity.

Always a leopard moment to see the racist slurs thrown at colored folk who assume they can be white along the racist they align themselfs with.

Tell that to the guy with the 10” dick

Hey man I still have to maintain the heart that keeps that thing full of blood during strenuous aerobic exercise.

Can we goad some Charlie-Kirk fans onto his ass ?? It would be funny

Both is good

Mediterranean descent/red-ish skin is not classically thought of as white.

That's the joke, right?

[–] Knightfox@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This photo doesn't really help and to be fair most of the pictures I found of him online are shot in such a way that he could look like a person of anglo-heritage with a heavy tan. Adding more stubble, a baseball cap, all black clothes, and sunglasses in 9/10 pictures can do that.

Here is a picture of him in normal lighting. Also his name, Tarrio, comes mostly from the Spanish Peninsula and he claims to be afro-cuban.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, a "one of the good ones"

Right up to the point where he's deported.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

We call them Uncle Toms/Uncle Ruckus (or aunty in case of women)

He is by his own admission Afro-Cuban who identifies as white for some reason.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

his own member see him as a token, sooner or later they will completely excommunicate him.
