The Southern Poverty Law Center's spurious definition of "hate groups" states:

“All hate groups have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics”

The Boy Scouts of America have said publicly for decades that gay men lack the “moral values” required to be Scout Leaders. That sounds like a malignant attack on an entire class of people, and yet you won’t find a word about the BSA on the SPLC’s web site, and they’re certainly not on the “Hate Map.

The BSA receives millions of dollars in public funding each year, and their core business, their entire raison d’être, is to mold the minds and shape the characters of millions of American boys, but somehow this doesn’t cross the SPLC’s scrupulous “hate group” threshold. Why not?

The answer is simple. Many of the SPLC’s mostly elderly donors were Scouts, or the proud parents/grandparents of Scouts, and linking the almighty donors to a “hate group” is bad for business. Fighting “hate” is all well and good until it cuts into the bottom line.

The most ironic (read: "hypocritical") thing about the Southern Poverty Law Center is that NOT ONE of its top ten, highest paid executives is a minority.

In fact, according to the SPLC's hometown newspaper, the Montgomery Advertiser, despite being located LITERALLY in the back yard of Dr. Martin Luther King's home church, the SPLC has NEVER hired a person of color to a highly paid position of power in its entire 40 year history.
