The SPLC does not prevent hate but directs it, mostly toward Christians for promoting the teachings of Christ.
Under President Donald Trump, the FBI recently made the decision to sever ties with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a self-described anti-hate group that has long placed mainstream conservative and Christian organizations and institutions on a par with groups like the Ku Klux Klan. “The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Signal. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence,” he added, referring to a 2012 attack on Family Research Council’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. “That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”
[T]he SPLC’s “hate group” designation inspired a domestic terror attack against the Family Research Council in 2012.
The FBI’s decision is a welcome one, particularly as the SPLC has long targeted American Catholics and other Christians. The SPLC’s “Hate Map” currently lists 1,371 supposed hate groups across the country. Under the ideologies it considers hateful, the SPLC lists “Christian Identity,” “Christian Supremacy,” and “Radical Traditional Catholicism.”

Southern poverty law center? More like the Wealthy Jewish Southern culture hating lying center. Hell, they even put focus on the family as a hate group!
The Minutemen were Big Targets in 2005.
Fun Times!
I went to the SPLC site and checked their roundup of 2024 activities. They classified Turning Point USA as a “far-right” extremist group. In a section called “The demonization of the United States,” ALL of the threats were described as coming from the RIGHT. The left’s constant demonization of the US: its history, traditions, culture, Constitution, and institutions is TOTALLY IGNORED. The SPLC is a colossal joke, a fraud, and - yes - a hate group.
Thank God for Trump.
The SPLC was formed to scam money from gullible donors and keep the man’s dick that formed the organization wet.
Tis true. SPLC should be ruled a terrorist organization because it incites chaos.
