The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has many allies within the
Progressive movement. Funded largely by the most liberal elements of the
Left, especially those within the George Soros network, like his Center
for American Progress, BLM has been a major motivator for the attacks on
police officers all over the country.
With chants like “Pigs in a blanket, fry-em like bacon” and “What do we
want? Dead Cops!,” the simple fact is that BLM has created an atmosphere
of anger and hatred, and has incited violence against law enforcement
officers across the country. In no way has the killing and wounding of
law enforcement officers dampened the enthusiasm of the BLM. It would
seem that no reasonable person or group, regardless of how liberal, would
want to be associated with any organization that advocates the killing of
anyone, especially police.
None of the BLM supporters are more dangerous and hypocritical than the
Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). SPLC is a self-
appointed “Hate Group” watchdog that produces a libelous and deceptive
list of people and organizations who are deemed “haters." While there are
no clearly stated criteria for groups being on this “hate” list, the
SPLC’s specialty is the targeting and slandering of conservatives and
conservative groups. As Laird Wilcox, an expert on extremist groups, has
pointed out, "What they [the SPLC] do is a kind of bullying and stalking.
They pick people who are vulnerable in terms of public opinion and simply
destroy them. Their victims are usually ordinary people expressing their
values, opinions, and beliefs - and they're up against a very talented
and articulate defamation machine."
The hypocrisy of their support of BLM is that the SPLC conducts training
for law enforcement groups in various parts of the United Sates. The SPLC
also maintains a “law enforcement resources” page that – not surprisingly
– claims the most credible threats to law enforcement are those arising
from right-wing actors. While the SPLC is advocating violence against
police by supporting BLM and its associates, they are simultaneously
instructing police on how to identify “hate groups.” And the story gets
worse.
Now it has been exposed through BLM’s own documents that they are
unashamedly anti-Semitic. The recent release of the BLM “Social and
Political Policy Agenda” accuses Israel of “genocide” and “apartheid.”
Despite this, SPLC continues to support BLM while BLM calls for the
cessation of all foreign aid to Israel and blames this U.S. ally for
atrocities against the Palestinians. How can SPLC continue to support BLM
when it is now abundantly clear that BLM is both anti-police and anti-
Israel?
Part of the answer can be found in the fact that SPLC was connected in
federal court in 2013 to domestic terrorism during the trial of Floyd Lee
Corkins II who was convicted of attempted murder. On August 15, 2012,
Corkins entered the offices of the Family Research Council (FRC) in
Washington, D.C. and shot the building manager, Leo Johnson. Corkins
admitted that he targeted FRC because they were listed as an anti-LGBT
“hate group” on SPLC’s website. Corkins admitted that he was motivated
to try and kill as many FRC employees there as possible because they did
not support same-sex marriage. Corkins’ conviction was the first ever
under the Domestic Terrorism Statute in the nation’s capital. SPLC’s
influence on Corkins through its reckless labeling was established in the
court proceedings. Now the SPLC is once again inciting violence, this
time against police, while portraying themselves as police supporters.
By endorsing BLM, the Southern Poverty Law Center has demonstrated that
it has no concerns about the consequences of its actions. Now they are
complicit in the targeting of police and the condemnation of Israel, yet
there seems to be no “hate” label anywhere in this. In fact, the SPLC has
cheered BLM, stating it is not only not a hate group, the “perception
that it is…illustrates the problem. Our society…does not accept that
racial injustice remains pervasive.”
What hypocrisy.
