The Southern Poverty Law Center has been one of the biggest left-wing fraud and extortion rackets in the US for decades. They have made hundreds of millions of dollars — much of it now in offshore bank accounts — by hyping non-existent hate groups and fake hate crimes, stoking racial fear, and slandering and running shakedown operations on businesses, individuals, and political opponents from coast to coast.
Now, almost exactly like the Harvey Weinstein operation in Hollywood, where everybody knew and everybody was complicit, it's all starting to unravel. Racism, sexual harassment, financial fraud — it's all there. Even the far-left New Yorker is having to acknowledge it.
The Reckoning of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center
...The firing of Dees has flushed up all the uncomfortable questions again. Were we complicit, by taking our paychecks and staying silent, in ripping off donors on behalf of an organization that never lived up to the values it espoused? Did we enable racial discrimination and sexual harassment by failing to speak out? “Of course we did,” a former colleague told me, as we parsed the news over the phone. “It’s shameful, but when you’re there you kind of end up accepting things. I never even considered speaking out when things happened to me! It doesn’t feel good to recognize that. I was so into the work, and so motivated by it, I kind of shrugged off what was going on.” A couple of days later, she texted me: “I’m having SPLC nightmares.” Aren’t we all, I thought.
