SPLC Shows Its Racist Tendencies Over Statue Removal-- Part 1

From the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) May 2, 2020, post "Weekend Read:  Even as Southern states continue honoring Confederate holidays, monuments are being removed" by Brad Bennett.

This group is right up there with the NAACP in its tendency to be hateful of any and all things Confederate.  In other words, reverse racism?

They are upset that some Southern states continue to honor their Confederate heritage but the recent signing of the bill in Virginia to remove "White Supremacy" monuments and they are extremely happy about this.  The overall plan is to remove any and all things Confederate.

Those statues and monuments have never mean racism to me nor does it to many whose ancestors fought for the Confederacy.  By the SPLC's definition, I must be a white supremacist and I sure was unaware of that.

The organization has spent a lot of time and money compiling an exhaustive list of all things Confederate and they want them all gone.

The Second Civil War: Army-Marines, Tucson, Raleigh and Whose Side is HuffPost On?

March 1, 2020

**  Army won't follow Marine Corps and rename Confederate bases.  (Glad to hear it, but I always wondered why so many Army bases were named after Confederates.  You'd think they'd be named after Union generals.)

**  Tucson council member, mayor seek removal of Confederate flags from rodeo parade.  (SCV float.  A picture of the float sure didn't appear to be a white supremacist rally.  Like waving a red flag in front of a bull, you know.)

**  The Army doesn't plan on renaming the 10 installations named  for Confederate leaders.  (And, if you'd like to know what the ten are, feel free to go to the Southern Poverty Law Center site to find out their names.  They keep close watch on anything and everything Confederate in hopes of removal.)

**  Hilton Hotel to host neo-Confederate group conference on the last day of Black History Month.  (HuffPost.  That would be the SCV.  Well, we now know where the Huff stands on all this.  There's that Neo-Nazi mention again.)

The Huff thinks this institute meeting is just the most horrible thing.  However, the article just thought the destruction of the Silent Sam statue was just a case of protesters voicing their beliefs and not students committing a hate crime.

**  YpsiFest move blames on disputes over parking, youth attendance and confederate flags.  (Ypsilanti, Michigan--  Excuse me, Confederate.)

**  Protesters against Sons of Confederate Veterans conference turn against police.  (Raleigh, N.C.--   The police were there to prevent them from getting out of hand and committing criminal acts.  Some didn't like that.)

UNC Settlement Voided, Woodfin Doesn't Like Confederate Monuments, That Kirby Smith Statue, More Statue "Vandalism"

February 13, 2020

**  Judge voids UNC's controversial settlement over Confederate statue 'Silent Sam.'  (Unbelievable when contrasted with the lack of arrests and convictions for the people committing the hate crime when the statue was torn down.  Where's the justice?  Now the guilty people who are  so mad about the settlement are getting what they want.)

**  Virginia inches closer to bringing down Confederate statues.

**  Here's what Randall Woodfin had to say about Confederate monuments.  (Birmingham, Alabama, mayor.  He is a black man so doesn't like Confederate monuments.)

**  Photo of students with swastika and Confederate flag roils Riverside school. (Martin Luther King High School, California     I hate to see a swastika alongside a Confederate flag.  It is hard enough to fight this losing war as it is without being compared to that German group.)

**  Protest over confederate statue leads to woman being removed from meeting.  (Lake Mary, Florida--   Statue of Confederate General Kirby Smith which used to stand in the U.S. Capitol and has been removed and headed for the historical museum has people not wanting it there.  Protesters were carrying posters against the statue in a silent protest.  I am wondering what the protester did to be removed by police.  By the way, Fox 51, WOGX, Confederate is spelled with a capital "C."

**  Pair pleads not guilty in Confederate statue vandalism.  (Bentonville, Arkansas--   The two are White.  Again, doing this to a Confederate statue is not vandalism.  It is a hate crime.)

**  Letter:  Confederate soldiers were no heroes.

**  Neo-Confederate attorney accused of mishandling clients' money promoted online trolling, harassment. (With League of the South.  This is from the Southern Poverty Law Center so this organization's anti-Confederate stance is well-known.)

The Confederacy Under Attack, October 18, 2019-- Part 1: Possible Confrontation in North Carolina

From the October 18, 2019, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  SPLC releases details about upcoming Confederate monument rally.  This will take place tomorrow, Oct. 19 in Pittsboro, N.C..  I am hoping it doesn't become another Charlottesville, but with this group playing it up, it just might be.

SPLC stands for Southern Poverty Law Center which never misses a shot at the Confederacy  and seems to want the memory expunged from American history.  I'd almost go so far as to call them racist and a hate group on their own.

A confrontation over the statue is in nobody's best interest as them people on both sides are way too radicalized.

**  Sons of Confederate Veterans can't appeal statue's removal.

**  League of the South calls for backup at Confederate protest.  (This is a pro-Confederate group which will be at Pittsboro.

**  After court decision Confederate statues are unlikely ever to return to Shelby County.
