I wonder how many people posting this BS have actually read the history of the SPLC. I'd say zero. They are getting their "news" from some rage or hate radio or Fox.

Here is some of their Evil accomplishments.....

The SPLC shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. It dismantled vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBT community and the disabled, protected low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation, and more.

In the 1980s, the SPLC began monitoring white supremacist activity amid a resurgence of the Klan and today its Intelligence Project is internationally known for tracking and exposing a wide variety of hate and extremist organizations throughout the United States.

In the early 1990s, the SPLC launched its pioneering Teaching Tolerance program to provide educators with free, anti-bias classroom resources such as classroom documentaries and lesson plans. Today, it reaches millions of schoolchildren with award-winning materials that teach them to respect others and help educators create inclusive, equitable school environments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

These are among the bravest of the brave, having established their HQ in the eye of the Storm and having been bombed, shot at, lit on fire and threatened regularly.

The OP is just the next bigot, racist or hate group member in line doing the same. Guess who will win this game?
I've known about SPLC since 2004. For me, it was good to see that website. Racism was a big issue in my high school, in the early 2000s. I felt encouraged seeing the site.

I don't listen to FOX News or those other things. I worry about people who do. Listening to that crap would make me question those persons.

Anyone who can take down bigots and make this society better is decent in my book. I think said persons who oppose SPLC really don't have the honesty to admit that they want the old days of bigotry to return.

Beware of the Southern Poverty Law Center

I'm not a bigot or an extremist, so no need to fear them.

And I'm darned glad I donate to the SPLC - it's pretty telling that the OP is trying to use the tired old tactics of denying, deflecting and denigrating.

I haven't donated, but I think I should. Thank you for reminding me.

I have no reason to fear SPLC. The only people who criticize or fear SPLC are those who watch FOX News, or who have hateful mentalities.
