SPLC called a "highly-profitable scam"

[yankeedoodle]

Looks like the "hate"-mongering "non-profit" SPLC has been profitable to somebody, so SPLC now means, apparently, SOMEBODY PROBABLY LOOTING CASH.  Don't you just HATE that?   

Trouble is, people are claiming that the SPLC hasn't been as effective as it should be, and, of course, it has been TOO effective, so, maybe, the worst is yet to come, and we will hear a lot more about HATE, if that's possible.

'HIGHLY PROFITABLE SCAM': SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER 'RIPPING OFF DONORS,' FORMER STAFFER SAYS

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a "highly profitable scam" that "never lived up to the values it espoused," according to former SPLC staffer Bob Moser.

The New Yorker on Thursday published a scathing essay from Moser, now a Rolling Stone reporter, accusing the left-wing non-profit of "ripping off donors" while turning a blind eye to sexual harassment and racial discrimination within its own ranks.

The SPLC fired co-founder Morris Dees on March 13 over unspecified conduct issues.

The SPLC announced Dees' firing after roughly two dozen SPLC employees previously signed a letter to the organization's leadership expressing their alarm at "allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism," The Los Angeles Times reported.

"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?" Moser asked in his article.

One of Moser's former colleagues answered in the affirmative.

"Of course we did," she told Moser. "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 spokesman for the SPLC did not return an email seeking comment on Moser's article.

The SPLC, which is known to label pedestrian conservative organizations as "hate groups," is a key resource for Amazon, Google and other tech companies in policing "hate speech." (RELATED: SPLC Whitewashes Democrats' Ties To Anti-Semite Farrakhan)

According to Moser, SPLC employees were aware that donors were being misled about the SPLC's mission.

He described "the guilt you couldn't help feeling about the legions of donors who believed that their money was being used, faithfully and well, to do the Lord's work in the heart of Dixie. We were part of the con, and we knew it."

The non-profit recently reported more than half a billion dollars in assets, including $121 million in off-shore funds.

Southern Poverty Legislation Middle president Richard Cohen resigned Friday, within the newest blow to the embattled left-wing nonprofit.

Present and former SPLC workers have accused the group of turning a blind eye to sexual harassment and racial discrimination inside its personal ranks.

Cohen took accountability for unspecified "issues" on the SPLC in a press release launched to the Montgomery Advertiser. "No matter issues exist on the SPLC occurred on my watch, so I take accountability for them," Cohen mentioned within the assertion.

Cohen requested the SPLC's board "to right away launch a seek for an interim president with a purpose to give the group the most effective likelihood to heal," in line with the Advertiser.

SPLC workers have been lengthy conscious of racial points and sexual harassment throughout the group, former SPLC staffer Bob Moser recounted in a scathing essay revealed within the New Yorker on Thursday.

Moser described the SPLC as a "highly-profitable rip-off" that that "by no means lived as much as the values it espoused," regardless of its portrayal to gullible donors. "We have been a part of the con, and we knew it," Moser wrote.

The SPLC is understood to label pedestrian conservative organizations as "hate teams," and is a key useful resource for Amazon, Google and different tech firms in policing "hate speech."

The non-profit just lately reported greater than half a billion {dollars} in property, together with $121 million in off-shore funds.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization which crusades against racism, has been hit by a string of resignations amid workplace harassment claims. Analysts say the scandal reflects the watchdog's duplicitous nature.

Richard Cohen, the organization's president, has stepped down a week after SPLC founder Morris Dees was fired for unspecified reasons. The center, whose hate group monitoring activities are often accepted as gospel by the media, has found itself looking inward after Dees was accused of harassing non-white and female staff members.

According to reports, Dees' inappropriate activities were quietly swept under the rug by the SPLC's leadership. In an email to staff, Cohen said he took personal responsibility for any mistreatment that occurred at the organization on his watch.

Before the high-profile resignations, the center was struggling to rebuild its image in the wake of several embarrassing lawsuits, in which the SPLC was ordered to pay out millions to individuals it had defamed as hatemongers.

Those who have experienced the wrath of the SPLC's "hate" monitoring activities firsthand told RT that they were hardly surprised by the scandal.

"Corruption has been going on in the SPLC for decades, and it finally got so bad that somebody tried to put a stop to it," said Glen Allen, a lawyer who lost his job after being blacklisted by the organization. He said that the group's activism was primarily motivated by a desire to bring in donations from organizations that want the SPLC's stamp of approval.

"They purport to go after hate groups, but their definition of hate group is so amorphous, that it really comes down to people who they, with their left-wing orientation, decide are their political enemies."

Political commentator and award-winning author Carol Miller Swain, who found herself a target of the SPLC after accusing it of double standards, predicted that the group's modus operandi would likely stay unchanged.

"The Southern Poverty Law Center has targeted many family-oriented Christian groups and labeled them as hate groups. And so they have been a menace, and they may continue to do that with Morris Dees gone," Swain told RT.

"And it's not clear that new leadership will be any more objective and neutral than the leadership it will replace."
