The '''Southern Poverty Law Center''' (SPLC) is a Far-Left organization based in Montgomery, Alabama. It is known for its legal cases against so-called white supremacist groups, for its classification of so-called hate groups and other "extremist" organizations, and for promoting "tolerance" education programs. It has targetted and pursued individuals across [[North America]], hounding their employers, advising neighbourhoods that "fascists" or "Nazis" are resident there, identifying their targets, leading to local campaigns forcing the targets to move on; destroying their lives and those of their families. It was involved in the scandalous case of [[Ernst Zundel]] resulting in his being hounded in the USA and eventually his deportation from Canada.

==Founders==
The SPLC was initially founded by Morris Dees, Jewish Joseph J. Levin, jnr., later a member of President [[Jimmy Carter]]'s administration,<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/about/staff/joseph-j-levin-jr</ref> and African-American Julian Bond in 1971 as a civil rights law firm in Montgomery.

==Morris Dees==
In 1972 Dees served as Senator [[George McGovern]]'s national finance director,<ref name="USAT">{{cite news
| title=Morris Dees: At center of the racial storm
| newspaper=[[USA Today]]

In 2019, the SPLC fired Dees for undisclosed reasons, and said the firm would hire an "outside organization" to investigate its workplace practices. Before he was sacked, two dozen employees had complained to management about concerns of "mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism" which threatened SPLC's moral authority and integrity.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.upi.com/Southern-Poverty-Law-Center-fires-co-founder-amid-misconduct-concerns/1531552661041/|title=Southern Poverty Law Center fires co-founder amid misconduct concerns|website=UPI|language=en|access-date=2019-03-19}}</ref> A former employee said that Dees had a "reputation for hitting on young women" and that his ouster came "amid a staff revolt over the mistreatment of non-white and female employees" by Dees and SPLC leadership.<ref>{{Cite magazine|first=Bob|last=Moser|url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-reckoning-of-morris-dees-and-the-southern-poverty-law-center/|title=The Reckoning of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center|magazine=[[The New Yorker]]|language=en|date=March 21, 2019|access-date=March 22, 2019}}</ref>

The television film titled ''Line of Fire: The Morris Dees Story'' (1991) dramatized his campaigns against so-called white supremacist "hate groups".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102311/ | title=Line of Fire: The Morris Dees Story | website=[[IMDb]] | year=1991 | access-date = October 12, 2016}}</ref>

Dees's work was also featured on the [[National Geographic]]'s TV network in the ridiculously named ''Inside American Terror'' in 2008.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/inside/3954/Overview#tab-Videos/05946_00 |title=Micheal McDonald clip on KKK: Inside American Terror |publisher=[[National Geographic (TV network)|National Geographic]] |year=2008 |access-date=November 18, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081030032619/http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/inside/3954/Overview#tab-Videos/05946_00 |archive-date=October 30, 2008 }}</ref>

==Hate crimes==
Support for censorship of "[[hate speech]]" varies greatly with [[race]]. In a 2015 survey, censorship was opposed by a majority of Whites, but supported by a majority of non-Whites, especially Blacks.<ref>Sadly most Americans support expanded federal "hate crime" laws but are divided on banning "hate speech": https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2015/05/20/hate-speech</ref>
