If its balance sheet is any indication, Donald Trump’s presidency has been very good for the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC's already impressive endowment grew a staggering 35 percent in fiscal year 2017 to more than $432 million. Including operating funds, total assets topped $477 million as of October 31, 2017. Total revenues and gains in fiscal 2017 exceeded $180 million, more than triple the organization's expenses for the year, of just under $60 million.

The SPLC has long been considered a fundraising powerhouse, but 2017's take was mind boggling by any standard. Donations were up 164 percent over 2016: The group took in $132 million between November 2016 and October 2017, compared with $50 million in the preceding 12 months.

So, looks ole morris dees is doin' jes fine. And people are whining about NRA fund raising? These perps of creating hate and discontent are off the hook gathering big bucks. Certainly none of this money is being used uh, outside the guidelines. And, even it it was, with the current doj and fbi admins, would anyone bother to look?

Proof that the US is not as racist or hateful as they claim, as otherwise they’d be finding some use for all that money that they’re hoarding.

So the Southern poverty Law Center has $432 million, I wonder how much of that money came from Obama's DOJ shakedown of the banks?

"Findings spearheaded by the House Judiciary Committee point to a process shrouded in secrecy whereby monies were distributed to a labyrinth of nonprofit organizations involved with grass-roots activism.

When big banks are sued by the government for discrimination or mortgage abuse, they can settle the cases by donating to third-party non-victims. The settlements do not specify how these third-party groups could use the windfall."

And from where is all the money coming?

You.

Big corporations are being shook-down by this corrupt crime organization and are then passing the cost of the protection money to consumers through higher prices.

There is no other explanation.

Donald Trump is being blamed for every left wing woe up to Negros’ ingrown toenails. Donald must be snickering about how a former real estate mogul and show wrestler with a playboy side can possibly be that powerful.

The Bush Plan for North Mexico to steal the country from the citizens depends on groups like this to divide the citizens.

How much of the $477 mil is your and my tax money from the obami era ? The DOJ blackmailing big business and using this as a forced ‘charitable’ path to promote progressive agendas.

Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

Uselessly sharing the wealth is good...

Have we started taxing money transfers from the U.S. to Mexico?

Have we started shooting invaders in the Honduran "caravan?"

When, in all logic, it should be applied to the reducing the National Welfare Debt!

At least the NRA actually spends the money on the purpose you gave it to them for. These guys are just amassing wealth and sitting on it.
