Can someone explain the craziness to me..

"Prior to the Capitol riot, the Proud Boys were probably best known for organizing 2017's Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., which itself turned violent and led to the death of a woman who was run over by a white supremacist who plowed his car into a group of counter protestors.
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the group as known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric and for leadership that espouses white nationalism, ironic given Tarrios Afro-Cuban ethnicity."

Because they're actually a (conservative) MALE supremacy group, hence 'Proud Boys'

They have people of all races in their ranks.
Calling that particular group, distasteful as they are, a White Supremacist group ... is not really accurate.
Obviously they attract white supremacists, but it's not exactly their 'platform', if you will.
