Hate group map

[Robert Roaldi]

I came across this interesting site: https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map. Amazing all the info we get on the interweb.

SPLC is itself a hate group (just on the left), if not a domestic terrorist organization (political wing).

Has LuLa always been this comical?

Jewish Defense League is strangely omitted from the map (while still listed @ https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/jewish-defense-league )

in fact there are no categories for either "anti-Arab" (Anti-Muslim does not count here) OR "Jewish nationalism" for the map

To believe there are too many white people is to be a racist.  To believe there are too few non-whites is to believe there are too many whites. The SPLC believes there are too few non-whites.  Therefore, the SPLC is racist.

When Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. started the SPLC in 1971, it was needed and it had noble goals. In recent years, however, it has become a tool of the radical left. Domestically, it uses its influence to paint with a broad brush that smears immigration restrictionists, orthodox Christian churches and pro-family organizations as “hate groups.”

Its branding of ‘hate groups’ and individuals is biased, sometimes false—and feeds polarization.

I didn't see the group that tore up downtown Portland a year & half ago listed.  What's up with that?  They showed two groups in my area.  Despite living here a quarter of a century I've never heard of them, and this is a "small town."  Maybe these "groups" only have one member?

This thread is an excellent argument for getting rid of the coffee corner and going back to camera talk.

Speaking about hate - it's interesting how some people hate these type of threads but can't resist staying away from them. Psychologists refer to it as a mental confusion.

Confusion describes a mental state of disorientation and an inability to think clearly. Someone who is confused has difficulty making decisions and trouble with logical thinking. Confusion happens to everyone at some point but it can be caused by many different conditions, not least by excessive manipulation of monochrome or HDR images.

I have come to agree with you and will close the thread. I just found that info interesting and wanted to make it known.
