Comparing Proud Boy Tenets and Black Lives Matter Tenets

12/18/20

I’m sure most readers have read stories lately about confrontations between two groups - the Proud Boys and the Black Lives Matter. Why do they confront one-another? Brothers in Christ don’t behave that way. If the groups are diametrically opposed, why is that?

I went right to the source to discover the tenets of both groups. A tenet is defined as ‘a belief that is generally held to be true.’ And, I am lazy so I simply executed a ‘copy and paste’ from the websites of both groups. I believe I copied the tenets of Black Lives Matter before they modified them just before the 2020 elections.

Remember, stupidity is genetic but ignorance is an option.

So, straight from their webpages, below is a handy comparison.

Proud Boys Tenets

“Minimal Government
Maximum Freedom
Anti-Political Correctness
Anti-Drug War
Closed Borders
Anti-Racial Guilt
Anti-Racism
Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment)
Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment)
Glorifying the Entrepreneur
Venerating the Housewife
Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism”


Black Lives Matter Tenets

“We acknowledge, respect, and celebrate differences and commonalities.

We work vigorously for freedom and justice for Black people and, by extension, all people.

We intentionally build and nurture a beloved community that is bonded together through a beautiful struggle that is restorative, not depleting.

We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others.

We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the world.

We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.

We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.

We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.

We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.

We practice empathy. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts.

We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

We cultivate an intergenerational and communal network free from ageism. We believe that all people, regardless of age, show up with the capacity to lead and learn.

We embody and practice justice, liberation, and peace in our engagements with one another.”


Now readers have a better idea of what these groups profess.

Interesting to note, the Mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, recently stated that he was opposed to everything the Proud Boys group stood for. Most ‘media’ list the organization as a ‘right-wing neofascist’ group. Of course, the media is nothing more than a satanic swarm of gnats. Of course, Mr. Wheeler attended the indoctrination institutions of bastions of buffoonery and brainwashed insanity - Stanford, Columbia, and Harvard. 

8/24/20: Black Lives Matter rioters in Charlotte, NC marched down the street chanting “F-ck your Jesus”.

Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you” (John 15:18).
