    the lead singer of Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott, was black. So yes you're right considering the Chairman of the Proud Boys is also black (Afrolatino) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrique_Tarrio

    Wait til I explain why the greatest line is:

    "Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
    Down at Dino's Bar'n'Grill
    The drink will flow and blood will spill
    And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em"

    well, that line does a lot. it gives you a time (Friday night) and a place (Dino's Bar and Grill). It's also visual (dressed to kill, blood will spill). It also gives you some characteristics about the boys, who are as yet pretty unknown. (Are they his boys from college? High school?). The line lets you know that the boys are violent. But not so violent that you should intervene if they want to fight*

    *Another interpretation is that they're so violent that you shouldn't intervene, but I reject that bc I doubt the writer would be so casual about that level of violence
