Did you know that the ADL was established to clear the name of Leo Frank?
Frank had raped and murdered a 13 year old girl. He was Jewish.
He tried to frame two black men for his crime. Frank was unsuccessful as a Georgia all-white jury in 1915 refused to convict the innocent blacks.
ADL and SPC are both racist anti-American communist filled organizations here to undermine our country and accelerate its decline.
All “uppity” blacks will be put in place by their owners. That’s the message sent.
“One of the ADL’s early campaigns occurred in the 1920s when it organized a media effort and consumer boycott against The Dearborn Independent, a publication published by American automobile industrialist Henry Ford. The publication contained virulently antisemitic articles and commented heavily on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The ADL and allied organizations pressured Ford until he issued an apology in 1927.”

I will agree that both of these groups (ADL and SPLC) are, today, smear outfits.
I don’t know that SPLC ever had any legitimacy.
There is no controversy that ADL was formed to clear the name of Leo Frank, who was viewed by many as having been wrongfully convicted of murder because of his Jewishness. The organization went on to fight many forms of discrimination against Jews.
But, in recent years, ADL has simply joined into the Democratic agenda in terms of demonizing those who have opinions it disagrees with. This makes ADL, as you say, a racist organization. Smearing entire groups of people for the evil of fringe-types within those groups is a denial of the reality of the human condition, is hateful, and justifies, if not incites violence.
The ADL and, for that matter, the ACLU have lost touch with their past. They have been taken over by the progressive left. The SPLC, on the other hand, might simply be a creature of the progressive left. I don’t know its origin or history.
