A few years ago, the SPLC splashed some headlines here on ATS,
they were a controversial source of painting patriots like Ron Paul
and his supporters as people who were worthy of scrutiny as
potential terrorist activity. Looking back on that, it seemed
crazy at that time the SPLC had any credibility.
Now It is obvious where this leads to, and the scary thing
is I heard mention of the them on mainstream news last week,
someone or some organization they had "identified", as if
the SPLC was a credible source or organization!
How did this happen? It is time to take another deep look into this.

Speaking from a Brit. The US has little of it's own history as it is (compared to the grand scheme of things). Why eradicate evidence of the confederacy? They weren't exactly Nazi Germany.. People haven't demolished Auschwitz, people haven't destroyed evidence of what happened in Europe in the 1900's.
Nor have people destryoed or forgotten about the British empire and the slave taders we once were.. but people do move on.
Removal of thought is not the right way to move on.
Painting civil rights groups as the enemy, every other thread being some half baked sensationalist racially charged nonsense, the core message of which can typically be boiled down to assertions that white people are the true victims of racism.
