(Jewish Group) Did the Proud Boys just embrace an antisemitic, anti-white group?

Black Hammer, an organization perhaps best known for tweeting “Anne Frank is a colonizer,” has just joined forces with self-described “Western chauvinist” group the Proud Boys to “defeat the disgusting p*do-loving, welfare economy demoncrats [sic] and their puppet master, BIG PHARMA,” according to a tweet from Black Hammer. The tweet received over 2,000 quote tweets and retweets, the majority of which were mocking the announcement. What exactly the coalition might do or any future plans are unclear.

The announcement features clips from a Zoom call between Black Hammer leader Gazi Kodzo and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes in which Kodzo, who is Black, declares his opposition to vaccine mandates and distances himself from the Black Lives Matter movement “because of my stance on pedophilia and the fact that I started reading the Bible more.”

While both groups have a history of antisemitism, they have little else in common, at least on the surface. Black Hammer’s mission statement says it “exists to take the Land Back for all colonized people worldwide” and forbids white people to join (though they encourage reparations in the form of donations to Black Hammer).

Meanwhile, though the Proud Boys publicly denounce any association with white supremacy, according to the ADL, “their activity has attracted white supremacists who share the group’s opposition to progressive politics and proclivity for violence.”
