Some employees at the Southern Poverty Law Center say the legendary civil rights nonprofit group suffers from a "systemic culture of racism and sexism within its workplace."
The SPLC, which has been on the front line of the fight against racial inequality and injustice in the United States since 1971, has been thrust into chaos after allegations over its treatment of minority and female employees.
The claims have been followed by changes in its leadership and a company-wide review.
CNN spoke with three current employees of the organization who talked on condition of anonymity because of fears over possible retribution.
It was one of those employees who cited the systemic problems with racism and sexism, and a second employee agreed with that assessment.
The Alabama-based activist group is nationally known for tracking civil rights abuses and hate crimes, while preaching tolerance. The group established itself as a crusading force by fighting racism and exposing extremist groups, taking many cases pro bono. A famed civil rights activist, the late Julian Bond, was the group's first president.
But one of the employees who spoke to CNN alleged the organization suffers from a "pervasive racist culture" and an environment in which a woman is not seen or heard. She also said qualified African-American employees were regularly passed over for promotions -- including one African-American colleague she describes as brilliant. She added, "My boss only hires white people."

I’m glad to see this happen, but these guys have $500 millions in the bank - they aren’t going away.
They blame their enemies for doing EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO. Standard operating procedure.
The SPLC should be investigated from root to crown. These sonsa bitches are a clear and presents danger to the country, a true enemy within.
but these guys have $500 millions in the bank
The SPLC served as the inspiration for the armed terror attack against the DC-based Family Research Council, in 2012 by Floyd Corkins.
There is no one more racist and sexist than a leftist...>>>>>>>>
They want to trick everyone into playing and living racial and sexual identity politics. Its actually a trap, they dehumanize those who they cannot entrap. Only the weak minded fall for their identity politics, those of us who are strong see only “human beings,” not a defined racial or sexual subset of victims.
And like all who are weak minded, when they join together, they are defeated by patriots and those of us Americans who do not fall for their jingoistic, liberal fascist propaganda .
Its logical Human beings v.s. Self victimized emotional idiots
Those lines are being drawn as we speak.
Virtue signaling, the last refuge of a hypocrite.
On the left you can self identify as anything you want to be but white.. that’s racist!
It’s been a bad group for decades... lots more creepy stuff to come...
SPLC probably won’t allow white leadership going forward...
The SPLC is a Leftist hate group.
It’s also an ongoing scam used to dupe Leftist Yankees into giving Morris Dees and co. Vast sums of money.
From their behavior I would have assumed that whites would be the minority at SPLC.
I read this that SLPC is going to move even farther to the LEFT.
I met a woman from MN who’s job it was to force white men out of leadership and ram in minority leadership at whatever the cost.
A white woman filled with guilt nonsense and power.
She was nuts!
Former Michelle Obama chief-of-staff Tina Tchen will lead a review of workplace culture at the SPLC
Will she pull Jussie in to consult?
