Social SPLC: Number Of Active Hate Groups In US Soared To ‘Record High’ In 2018

[Gunny]

LMAO at citing a group who have faced (and lost) multiple lawsuits for their libelous “hate” accusations as a legitimate source. TS really fucked the pooch here, lol.

 

[grizzard2bid]

Lol whataboutisms and people on the defense already in this thread. How does it feel being on the same side as the klan lol.

 

[hillelslovak87]

A stronger border, less LGBTQ agenda and less Islamic ideology is a very good thing for America.

You know who is reeeeeally good at the less LGBT agenda part? Islamic countries. You guys actually have a lot in common.

 

[Ripskater]

Evangelicals are a far bigger threat to my individual freedom and happiness than Islamic ideology could ever hope to be.

This quote above is why the Left hates Christianity and why the Left protects and loves Islam so much. Because Christianity is a threat to the Leftist ideology.

Not at all. Christianity offers forgiveness of sins through Christ if someone confesses their sin with a heart of repentance.

Islam offers beheadings and throwing gays off of buildings.

Spoiler

 

[Ripskater]

Evangelicals? Are those the people that hate gays and foreigners but are cool with priests diddling little boys?

That is the Catholic Church.

They are the ones with a homosexual, pedo priest problem. It's due to their unBiblical requirement for celibacy.

 

[Lord_Impaler]

Lol at the hate group known as the SPLC labeling others as hate groups.

 

[Andy Capp]

Yeah, sadly, SPLC is not a reliable source of information.

So let's get some other ones.
Hate crimes reported to police in America’s 10 largest cities went up by 12.5 percent in 2017, according to a new analysis, making it the fourth consecutive year U.S. hate crime reports in those areas have increased.
By the numbers: 7 charts that explain hate groups in the United States
Canadian hate crimes growing and more violent for third straight year
"The increase in hate crimes coincides with a surge in rallies organized by far-right groups in Canada."

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

SPLC is a verified racist group themselves.

 

[Richmma80]

Whit people have been victims of hate crimes more often than anyone else. Let's get that straight.

 

[High Altitude]

Splc jumped the shark a long time ago. They are no longer a credible source.

The number of active hate groups in the United States soared to a “record high” of 1,020 in 2018, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s latest “Year in Hate” report.
The report, released Wednesday, found that groups pushing racist, anti-LGBT, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim ideologies proliferated in the second year of Donald Trump’s presidency, fueled by the verbal validation and concrete policies of the administration and its allies.

“The numbers tell a striking story – that this president is not simply a polarizing figure but a radicalizing one,” Heidi Beirich, director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, said in a statement. “Rather than trying to tamp down hate, as presidents of both parties have done, President Trump elevates it.”

In 2018, the U.S. saw the fourth straight year of hate group growth and a 7 percent increase over the 954 groups counted in 2017, according to the SPLC.

The SPLC defines hate groups as organizations that target an entire class of people based on their race, religion or other identifying characteristics; only groups that participate in activities like “marches, rallies, speeches, meetings, leafleting, publishing literature or criminal acts” are included in their annual count.

Per the SPLC’s research, concerns of an “accelerating, state- and Silicon Valley-orchestrated ‘white genocide’” escalated the spike in white supremacist hatred last year. Trump’s failure to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and the banning of white nationalists from social media platforms contributed to these enduring race-based fears.

The problem is that the SPLC has a need for MORE hate groups. They categorize groups which are either run by racial minorities or have minorities in their membership as white supremacist groups or along that line. They label Maajid Nawaz who's a liberal Muslim reformer as a anti-Muslim extremist simply because he wants to reform his religion to make it better, to make it more tolerant and accepting, which is what the left was supposed to be about, but has since turned regressive in many ways, sadly. The SPLC has this group shown below as a hate group, but the leader seems to be a pretty normal professional guy who has a wife who's a different race than him and he has mixed-race children and nonwhite members in his group.

Lol whataboutisms and people on the defense already in this thread. How does it feel being on the same side as the klan lol.

False equivalency much? I'm on the same side as Maajid Nawaz and any other reasonable honest actor who's seen the shifting paradigm of groups like the SPLC.

Not true, we think cheating on your spouse is abhorrent. The Trump Christians now embrace adultery. The Nine Commandment Christians are giant hypocrites.

 

[MilesAbove]

One step above LARPING from the drone's perspective.

 

[Seano]

Evangelicals are a far bigger threat to my individual freedom and happiness than Islamic ideology could ever hope to be. Islamic radicals don't control one of America's two political parties.

Take a vacation to sunny Afghnaistan and then tell us how oppressed you are when you get back.

None of your "freedom" is under attack. You're being played by politicians because people like you are so easily manipulated. Who has been attacking the second amendment? Who has been shutting down free speech?

Now explain to me what freedom you have lost.

 

[Ripskater]

Trump Christians now embrace adultery. The Nine Commandment Christians are giant hypocrites.

We don't embrace adultery.
You far leftists have lost your minds.

 

[MilesAbove]

You far leftists have lost your minds.

y'always have to make sure you place people in those boxes, huh?

 

[KeepItRealist]

SPLC is the hate group. And they they have had more shootings attributed to their group than just about any they name, except the Nation of Islam of course. The NOI have murderers who are members arrested all the time and nothing happens to them. Now if a white supremacist group even remotely linked to some kind of crime, they are sued and shut down.

 

[Hard To Tell]

Whit people have been victims of hate crimes more often than anyone else. Let's get that straight.

It's almost as if these people (as well as the mainstream media) don't realize that along with our own real world experiences, we can also look up crime statistics to see that reality is the the exact opposite of the bullshit narratives and lies they try and peddle.
