Are there any racist institutions? How and why.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has been quieter than usual since its blockbuster scandal rocked the liberal world. Now the group is slowly coming out of hiding, and staffers like Nancy Abudu are trying desperately to make up for lost time.

 

If her latest attack against Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill is any indication, nothing at the Poverty Palace has changed—including, the state would tell you, its approach to the facts.

 

Now that its “hate lists” are completely discredited, SPLC is apparently venturing out in a new area: voting rights.

 

Last month, the Montgomery headquarters of the SPLC announced that it was creating a voting rights legal team—with about the same level of integrity Americans have come to expect from an organization knee-deep in systematic racism and bigotry.

 

For their first hit job, Abudu didn’t stray far from home. The deputy director of SPLC’s project took aim at the organization’s state for supposed voter suppression—a charge John Merrill would have a good laugh at if he weren’t so annoyed.

 

“You know,” he told our listeners on “Washington Watch,” “they’re entitled to their own opinion, but they’re not entitled to their own facts.” And those facts tell a far different story than what Abudu suggested in a wildly inaccurate op-ed in the Montgomery Advertiser.

 

To anyone paying attention in Alabama, the suggestion that state leaders are intentionally suppressing voter registration is almost too ridiculous to repeat.

For four years, five months, and two days, Merrill said, “we’ve made a concerted effort … to ensure that each and every eligible U.S. citizen as a resident of Alabama is registered to vote [and] has a photo ID.”

 

They’ve traveled to all 67 counties each year, he explained. They go to festivals, events, and other activities to promote voter registration. They even created a mobile application so that Alabamians can register to vote on the computer or on their phones.

 

Then, of course, there’s the Board of Registrars Office. “It’s open each and every day. The courthouse is open in every county in the state, and we ensure that we provide a photo ID or the opportunity to register to vote for any citizen that wishes to register [who] is qualified to do.”

 

The idea that his staff or anyone in the state is actively trying to turn people away from their civic duty is preposterous.

 

In fact, Merrill explains, Alabama has been such a success story that officials have been invited to Congress to testify twice about the great work they’re doing.

 

And why not? Since his time in office, the state’s registered a whopping 1,278,824 new voters.

“We now have a state record, 3,491,599 registered voters in Alabama. Those numbers are unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of our state,” Merrill says proudly.

 

But there’s more. “[W]hen you compare our per capita to every other state in the union, we surpass every other state in the union when it comes to voter registration and photo.”

 

If SPLC is insinuating that Alabama is intentionally targeting minorities, it’ll have a tough time proving it. Ninety-six percent of all eligible African Americans in the state of Alabama are registered to vote.

 

 

 

Here's why they are really upset.

 

 

While Democrats benefit from a slow and duplicative system, the 53rd secretary of state in Alabama says: Not on my watch.

You also need to know that we removed more than 780,000 people from the voter rolls because those people have moved away, they passed away, or they’ve been put away, and whenever that happens, they need to come off the voter rolls.

Can't criticize the true racist extremists........................

 

Anti-Extremism Expert Loses Jobs, Twitter Account After Antifa Smears

by Tyler O´Neil

Original Article

 

Anti-extremism researcher Eoin Lenihan struck a nerve when he published the results of a study showing the links between liberal news outlets and the violent thugs who organize under the name "antifa."

 

After Lenihan published his report, antifa activists contacted his employers to get him fired and reported him on Twitter, succeeding in shutting down his Twitter account. A reporter with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has disputed part of Lenihan's story, as noted in an update below. Lenihan's story seems all the more important after Rose City Antifa in Portland beat up Quillette editor Andy Ngo, using milkshakes with quick-dry cement and landing him in the hospital

From the bill:

(a) Definitions.—In this section—

(1) the term “crime” means an act or series of acts that would constitute a criminal offense under Federal or State law, whether or not the act or acts have actually resulted in criminal charges, prosecution, or conviction; and

 

 

Got that?  Even if you're not charged with a crime, your actions can still constitute a criminal offense.  Which really makes a mockery of the very concept of American jurisprudence.

Not an example of a racist institution , or even racism for that matter. I live in a secure building like the one described, and I don’t let anyone I don’t recognize follow me in. Many folks ring all the video buzzers they can until someone lets them in, but I don’t generally unlock the door unless it’s a FedEx guy or something. You just have to be defensive these days, regardless of race.

WTF!?  

Results of a new Rasmussen poll

</snip>

Thirty-two percent (32%) of Democrats, however, say it’s racist for any white politician to criticize the political views of a politician of color. That’s a view shared by just 16% of both GOP and unaffiliated voters.

</snip>

 

Like I always say.............

 

These people can shove their racist rhetoric up their asses sideways.

 

I don't wanna hear it and the old saying goes......... "If everything is racist, nothing is racist"

Programming and conditioning rearing their heads.
