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.

So freedom of speech only applies to speech you agree with. No surprise. I'm
free to stand on the sidewalk outside the police station and, without electronic
amplification, say whatever I want to about them no matter how insulting and
vile. ('Low murder rate? Low burglary rate? Jolly good show, chaps. Carry on.')

We don't have too much protest against police departments because there's little
(some but still little) reason to accuse the police departments of biassed
enforcement. San Jose did have a bad reputation against Chicanos once upon a
time, but I've only heard a few complaints for a couple of decades.

Maybe if police everywhere treated their own infractions as strictly as they
treat black men's, maybe Black Lives Matter would run out of steam. Just
saying.....

In our view, these critics fundamentally misunderstand the nature
of hate groups and the BLM movement.

Generally speaking, hate groups are, by our definition, those that
vilify entire groups of people based on immutable characteristics
such as race or ethnicity. Federal law takes a similar approach.

While it¹s no surprise, given our country¹s history, that most
domestic hate groups hold white supremacist views, there are a
number of black organizations on our hate group list as well.

A prime example is the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), whose
leaders are known for anti-Semitic and anti-white tirades. Its
late chairman, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, famously remarked, ³There
are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he
changes.² Bobby Seale, a founding member of the original Black
Panther Party, has called the NBPP a ³black racist hate group.²

So you might disagree with their definition of hate group, but they are
justified with regards to their own definition.

In case you're interested, SPLC counts NBPP and Nation of Islam as hate groups.

Also SPLC only takes legal action against groups that have allegedly committed a
tort or crime. BLM is not linked to anything worse than civil disobedience. So
maybe a fine or a few days in gaol, but not the kind of thing SPLC acts on.

> Now it has been exposed through BLM’s own documents that they are

Is SPLC aware of this? You can write to them and see if they know about it, what
is their analysis, and whether it will change their opinion. By your use of
'Now' it sounds like a recent claim against BLM; expect delays in re-evaluation.

> Political Policy Agenda” accuses Israel of “genocide” and “apartheid.”

Sorry, kid, but criticising Israel is not anti-semitism. Israel is a big boy now
and not immune from criticism of how it treats is own citizens and residents and
how it relates to other nations.

Oh, and, criticising crime and corruption in Vatican City is not
anti-catholicism, criticising England is not anti-anglicism, critising Saudi
Arabia for deliberatly targetting food production and deliverry thus causing
starvation in Yemen is not anti-islamism.

You have freedom of speech and you're also responsible for that speech,
since they said it and it's NOT illegal, all they have to face is the
public ire... They (#BLM) are making a veiled confession to being thugs
and scum, with that use of free speech. No one forced them to say that.


Say what you want and we're free to think what we want about you, I
remember that someone said for every action (speech) there is an
opposite reaction (our interpretation of who you are) and by blurting
out hate we are free to think you are a hateful person.

Freedom is a wonderful thing, because everyone has to submit to it equally.

No, they aren't. They are not admitting to any felonies, veiled or otherwise,
nor is there any evidence they have. You imagine a link to justify usurping
their freedom.

Prove beyond a reasonable doubt they have murderred, then, yes, they should go
to prison. Prove by a preponderance of evidence they have committed a wrongful
death, then, yes, they should pay the award. Until then they are presumed
innocent and enjoy all the freedom everyone else has.

Yeah. So? (And do note I don't you accuse you any crimes. I accuse you of being
a sot, but that's not a crime, just disgusting.)
