Southern Poverty Law Center

Do you consider the Southern Poverty Law Center to be a biased hate group just like many of the groups they go after or do you feel that the SPLC is an unbiased source of info?

FYI, this is a public poll. I like to see how many secret usernames show up when a good poll pops up.

The only folks I ever see calling it biased are the folks who also support bigots, racists, gay-bashers and rightwing religious fundamentalists.

In other words, you'll get plenty of hate for it here on C-D, obviously.

Funny topic. I like when people try to pigeohole Black folks as racists or hate groups. the projection from one's own racist views get exposed. so funny.

But to answer the OP, the day when the SPLC starts to plot lynchings, church bombings and racist marches thru town. call me.

madness

They're definitely biased and maybe they qualify under the liberal definition of hate group (anyone who disagrees with me), but to normal people nah, they're not a hate group.

Hate group? No. But they're certainly guilty of manufacturing new victims, perpetuating stereotypes and profiting from the exploitation of racism and hate. It seems those who claim they want to live in an openly accepting, colorblind society are the ones who incessantly bring up race, gender, and sexual orientation at every turn and define individuals by those qualities.

Because money and power are to be had with the creation of victims.

I'm a strong supporter of this patriotic group. Thanks for reminding me to donate to them again.

Don't know enough about them to say (like everyone else) and I'm not interested enough in them to find out.

They're just a group with an agenda...they don't seem to be hurting anyone.
