Southern Poverty Law Center to list White Lives Matter movement as a hate group
Chron ^ | 8/26/2016

Posted on 08/26/2016 12:21:15 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

The White Lives Matters movement will be listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center when it releases its annual Hate Map this February.

"I can't speak to how many chapters will be listed, but it's clear that the leadership of the group, the ends of the group -- it's just a flat out white supremacist group," said Heidi Beirich, Director of Intelligence Project at SPLC, in an interview with Chron.com.

"The ideology behind it, the racist leaders, everything about it is racist," Beirich added. The leadership Beirich refers to is 40-year-old Rebecca Barnette. In addition to having her hands in the White Lives Matter movement, Barnette is also the vice president of the women's division of the skinhead group Aryan Strikeforce.

The center points to posts on Barnette's page on vk.com, a Russian social networking site used by white supremacists due to its lack of censorship.

In it, the center reports that "Barnette says that Jews and Muslims have formed an alliance 'to commit genocide of epic proportions' of the white race. Now is the time, she adds in the same post, for 'the blood of our enemies [to] soak our soil to form new mortar to rebuild our landmasses.'"

"Her background, the rhetoric of the group, the hangers-on of the group are white supremacist," Beirich said. "The only question is how widespread they are, how many chapters there are."

White Lives Matter protest at NAACP in Houston The question as to whether or not the White Lives Matter group is a white supremacist group was asked, yet again, after protesters with the organization set up shop outside of the NAACP in Houston on Aug. 21.

Never heard of this, either.

Sounds like legit concern. But then, I’m not sure how a violent group whining about non-existent problems is NOT a concern.

BTW, when did “racism” (thoughts) become THE prime sin? We constantly treat it as worse than murder or battery or robbery, yet by itself is nothing more than an opinion process.

It’s cool - I immediately recognized the Southern Poverty Hate Group for what they are.

Yep. The Leftist modus operandi:

Accuse your enemy of being what you are and of doing what you do.

SPLC is probably the most bigoted racist organization in the US.
