The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its extensive list of hate groups, is racist, according to its employees.
SPLC Union members protested outside of their employer's office Monday in opposition to the legal advocacy group's plan to require certain employees to return to in-person work. The union, in a statement, claimed the move targets black women because it primarily requires workers in low-level positions to return to the office.
"Staff in more highly regarded job classifications and who are higher-paid employees are being given the flexibility to work remotely, while women, Black, brown, and lower-paid employees are forced back into the office regardless of our work, our needs, and our advocacy for more inclusive treatment," Lisa Wright, a union bargaining committee member, said. "Forcing employees back into the office isn't about collaboration or cooperation—this is about policing and surveillance of SPLC's lowest-paid employees."
The SPLC did not respond to a request for comment on who exactly will be required to return to the office.
The SPLC publishes an annual "hate map" that has attracted controversy for listing conservative organizations as hate groups. A gunman in 2012 entered the Family Research Council, a pro-family advocacy group, in an attempted mass shooting, which he said was inspired by the SPLC labeling the group as anti-gay. SPLC added Ben Carson to its "extremist" watch list in 2014 but backtracked and apologized in response to criticism.
"The [SPLC] mission is committed to eradicating poverty while it denigrates the work of its Black women employees through low wages and forced in person attendance," one organizer tweeted. "Like @SPLCUnion member says FULL MEALS NO SNACKS! #PracticeWhatYouPreach."
The SPLC and its lobbying group have nearly $570 million in net assets.
The irony...
Live by racist insanity die by racist insanity.
The most racist people I’ve ever known we’re democrats and liberals.
No surprise there.
Their racket depends on a never-ending cycle of racism and their approach to the subject ensures that racism will never die. I have no doubt that that the ones running the show are racists themselves. That’s how the Left rolls.
The SPLC is a hate group.
Convince me otherwise.
Can’t wait for the SPLC to categorize ITSELF as a “hate group”
Impoverish the SPLC.
Tax their ill gotten gains.
Fun Fact: Demonrats don’t give a damn about Black folks. You’re just a means to an end.
I’ve always know the SPLC was a racist organization. They blame poor white people for just about everything.
The employees were ok with the SPLC labeling hate groups based solely on their political or religious stances, but make them return to work in person and the gloves come off.
Here is a crazy libtard in action. I can’t stand them.

Not surprised.
Lefties always turn on their own.
They accuse others of doing exactly what they’re doing and now the “chickens have come home to roost.”
Hope they receive a massive settlement.
LOL! Live by the race card, DIE by the race card. You teach your employees that everything is about race, sooner or later, they are going to accuse the employer of racism. You can set a clock by it!
Well...duh.
They are all the same, like clones...drones....BORG
It is the freakiest thing ever
“We are heading back to Portland..”
No Shit
who would of ever guessed..
It is like long-term regional mass psychosis.
Typical of these democommie led ‘civil rights’ groups. Making money off dem po black folks. The biggest racis’ around are the dems/libs/progs. More like “silver” rights. They believe they got the right to as much silver as they can pocket.
