The Southern Poverty Law Center started with noble intentions and has done much good over the years, but a pernicious corruption has undermined the organization’s original mission and contributed to a climate of fear and hostility in America. Hotels, web platforms, and credit card companies have blacklisted law-abiding Americans because the SPLC disagrees with their political views. The SPLC’s false accusations have done concrete harm, costing the organization millions in lawsuits. A deranged man even attempted to commit mass murder, having been inspired by the SPLC’s rhetoric.

How did a civil rights group dedicated to saving the innocent from the death penalty become a pernicious threat to America’s free speech culture? How did an organization dedicated to fighting poverty wind up with millions in the Cayman Islands? How did a civil rights stalwart find itself accused of racism and sexism?

Making Hate Pay tells the inside story of how the SPLC yielded to many forms of corruption, and what it means for free speech in America today. It also explains why Corporate America, Big Tech, government, and the media are wrong to take the SPLC’s disingenuous tactics at face value, and the serious damage they cause by trusting this corrupt organization.

I never thought the ACLU would support cases that are in violation of the first ammendment either.

John Stossel has a great short on the SLPC:

Don’t just take it from me. A former SPLC employee said he had been “part of the con,” a “highly profitable scam” to scare donors into ponying up cash. A terrorist even used the organization’s “hate map” to target a pro-family group in Washington, D.C., but the SPLC has kept that group on the map for 10 years since then.

I’ve been following the SPLC for years, and I even wrote the book on why the “hate map” can’t be trusted. So when the SPLC released its updated “hate map” for 2022, I decided I’d go through the data and crunch the numbers.

The SPLC exaggerates hate in three key ways, according to The Daily Signal’s analysis. It lists “chapters” of organizations as separate “hate groups” or “antigovernment extremist groups,” no matter how small they are. It tars political and ideological opponents by branding them “hate groups” even if they don’t have anything to do with hate. Finally, the SPLC includes other organizations that barely exist at all.

Southern Poverty Law Center says "anti-Blackness" killed man who CHOKED A COP while yelling "YEAH B**!" after driving 100 mph

Leonard Cure was pulled over on the side of I-95 near the Georgia-Florida line for driving ONE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR, putting everyone's life on that highway in danger. According to the SPLC, this equates to "anti-Blackness in policing."

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Camden County Sheriff's Office released video of the incident, which showed Cure complying with the officer until the officer told him he was under arrest. At that point, he got out of his vehicle and ignored the officer's instructions (let me remind you this is all happening on a dangerous highway shoulder).

The officer tased Cure when he argued and did not comply. Cure still resisted (because tasers are not nearly as effective as you think) and he was tased again as Cure suddenly lunged into action, swinging his arms at the officer.

Cure choked the officer, whose arms got pinned by Cure. The officer managed to retrieve his baton, still opting not to use his gun while being choked out, as you can see from this screenshot in the video I'm about to show you:




The bodycam footage shows the officer hitting Cure about half a dozen times with the baton. After that did not work, the officer drew his service weapon and fired.

Cure yells out "YEAH B**!" at the officer repeatedly, obviously enjoying squeezing the life out of him.

Or, as the SPLC would say, "justice and accountability."

The situation was investigated by Camden County Sheriff Jim Proctor, District Attorney Keith Higgins of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. None of them have found any wrongdoing on the part of the officer, who is on leave while they finish their investigation.


Has video.

Yup, ^^^ this ^^^

Every charity, every organization, eventually gets some fucking SOB mother fucker sociopath at the top, eventually, and destroys it.

The purpose of many foundations is to enrich their founders.

They always sell something that you usually want to support; we're in favor of wildlife, whales, stray dogs, against poverty, etc.

But it's just a con to suck you in.

John Edwards got rich convincing juries that natural childbirth causes autism. He's a total asshole, a pox on him.

BLM is a very good recent example of this.

I'd like to know more about this. Do you have a link you can share?

I think they have changed the name to 'Southern Potemkin Shell Clients Shakedown, Lawfare, and Extortions Center'. You can see, as usual usual Satanic inversions, that these altruistic horn blowing things always deteriorate into shakedowns and cons.

The author is trying to use a "with all due respect..." preface, but I bet it would stump him to name one fucking good thing the SPLC has done that has not been race pandering, and hasn't facilitated to bring us to the point where we are now.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was born out of the civil rights movement of the 60s and has since evolved into a corrupt far-left radical hate group that pushes gender ideology and slanders normal conservative organizations like Moms for Liberty as "hate groups" in turn.

According to their own union, they're also extremely corrupt in the handling of donations they receive...

Just last year, one of their own lawyers was arrested for domestic terrorism after leading a violent attack on a police training facility in Atlanta...

The internet didn't seem to show much sympathy for the laid-off workers:
