The SPLC was never “venerable”. Morris Dees made it clear from the beginning that he was in it to make himself rich.

AMERICA IS INDEED BECOMING TWO NATIONS

Reich is not alone in this belief. On March 6th of this year, Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, told an audience that the so-called “Religious Right” is more dangerous than Neo-Nazis and Muslim extremists.

In other words, to the Dees and Reiches of this land, if your allegiance is first and foremost to Almighty God and not to the almighty state, you are more dangerous than a terrorist. Reich takes great offense when right-wing fundamentalists criticize him and other secularists as being moral relativists.

Mark Potok is worse by a factor of a million. I cannot describe to you how much I hate that man. Him and "Reverend" Jim Wallis. They're not just traitors to America. They're traitors to God, and to humanity.

Potok would have been in Hitler's inner circle, had he lived in a different era (yes, I know he's Jewish, and that's partly my point).

The SPLC, probably over the first 5 to 10 years of existence probably had good intentions and some honest nature. You can look at the original Greenpeace movement and find the same thing.

But each one of these becomes a target for takeover, by various foundations, and then a decade into operating...they all start to be manipulated and abused.

I suspect in the next decade...some blacks who’ve taken the ‘red-pill’ and become conservative in nature....will tell the SPLC to back off, and some confrontation will start up. It may not be the end, but I’ll predict in ten to fifteen years that they have to morph over into some kinda Latino SPLC group, and dump the blacks as their reason as the reason for their existence.
