I see it differently.

The SPLC has been out of control for a long time. They’ve been sued by Black employees and women, for being racist and sexist in employment practices. Gay employees have publicly complained also.

The SPLC started calling religious organizations hate groups, which led to a disassociation by the FBI.

It’s been recently revealed that the SPLC gave 3 million dollars to racist groups, ostensibly under the guise of paying ‘informants’. It seems very likely the money trail will show the 3 million went into funding for publicly viewed racist activities ( which would of course be fantastic publicity for SPLC fundraising ).

There is enough smoke here to safely assume there’s a fire. The SPLC needs replacement.
