Southern Poverty Law Center To Create Map of Confederate Symbols

Earlier this month, the SPLC launched a new initiative called "Erasing Hate," which "aims to identify and eliminate government-sanctioned symbols honoring the Confederacy."

"There are numerous government-sponsored symbols of the Confederacy that are out in the public across the country, and, quite frankly, it's time for them be removed," said SPLC founder Morris Dees. "In Montgomery, Alabama, we have a Robert E. Lee High School that wasn't even named until [Brown v. the Board of Education], the desegregation case. We have government-sponsored holidays honoring Confederate 'heroes'."

Flags, street names, building names, and statues honoring the Confederacy became public targets across the country earlier this year after a white supremacist shot and killed nine African Americans in a church in Charleston, South Carolina.

They need to include the parking lot at the local Walmart here in northwest Pennsylvania on their little map.

There is a LOT of hate here that needs to be stomped out.

I guarantee that all this will be destroyed on the taxpayer dollar.

Then they will go after the Jefferson Memorial because he had slaves. Then the Lincoln Memorial because he thought blacks were not equal and should be deported after being freed.

Face it, its just the next step in the war on those pesky European immigrants from long ago.

Once the SPLC has collected all the offensive material they’ll march to the Nuremburg parade grounds and have the first annual DNC party convention called a Reichsparteitag!

They can march in the streets by candle light, listen to speeches, participate in sporting events and at night have camp fires where they take all the offensive materials and throw them into the camp fires.

Over time they can pass new laws and start a new utopia that will last for 1000 years where only party approved ideas and history are taught. The SPLC will create a new man and you will become one even if they have to kills you!

Sounds like fun! </sarcasm>

Whoa! Let me sit down. I’m feeling a little dizzy! déjà vu !

Yep. He would keep most of the SPLC’s cut for client’s damages while the organization would beg for donations. Such a fraud.

What about the cemetery head stones of those who died for the SOUTH from 1861-1865 and later veterans of that war? Will we have to destroy them to?

There are several graves near here of people who were “killed by bushwackers” in that time.
Will we then honor the murdering “Pin” (Union) Indians and revile the Confederate followers of Stand Watie, the last Confederate General to surrender?

They aren’t stopping there. The goal is to totally destroy everything about American culture.

SPLC under the fictitious guise of listing terror groups is nothing more then a group of tiny little minds trying to gain respectability. Their so-called listing are simply list of people they don’t like.

Just wondering; Will they bulldoze the battlefields to remove all evidence of the Southern Confederacy?

I go by the Cowskin Prarie area quite often.

And Robert E. Lee didn’t even own slaves. His wife inherited her father’s but they were freed before the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and would have been freed sooner had not their labor been critical to paying off debts of her father’s estate. Furthermore, early in the war, their great hero, Lincoln, said he could care less about the slaves, it was about the preservation of the Union. Be one or another, just NOT divided. And, freed blacks also owned slaves, and were sometimes harsher masters than the whites!

How about we create a maps that shows all locations of the DNC, Planned Parenthood, any mosque and all Nation of Islam offices?

In the 1970s, Morris Dees had the FBI searching for my film director son in Houston, Texas. Son evaded the FBI, then Rice University where he was attending college, got him a lawyer. He had filmed the KKK and Dees wanted that film at his court case against the KKK and the Vietnamese fishermen and local fishermen in Seabrook,Texas.

Son called us during the FBI search for him and wouldn't tell us where he was. He was changing locations every day. Once he had a lawyer, the lawyer went to the judge and told her my son had not finished editing that film and wouldn't give it over until the edit was finished. The judge told Dees and FBI to stop searching and son could finish the editing before turning over the film.

Once that happened, son was on witness stand with Dees questioning him about that film and the film was shown. At one point, son interrupted the film and told judge what was just shown was NOT in his film. Dees had interjected other film of KKK into son's film. Judge told off Dees for doing that and told jury to disregard that part of the film.

There is NO love between son and Dees or me and Dees. There is more to that story between son and Dees but I've told you the basic story.

Dees is a piece of trash, going after conservative groups and listing them as hate groups.

Meanwhile "5 percent nation" black supremacists who pal with the President of the United States are perfectly able to sport their symbols of hate and Sprite-Coca Cola even pays them for their branding.
