You also quote the Southern Poverty Law Center, of Montgomery, Alabama. If the idea of a “white wedding” in northern New England bothers you, you may be similarly interested in the fact that NOT ONE of the SPLC’s top executives is a minority.

In fact, despite being headquartered in Montgomery, the birthplace of the American Civil Rights Movement and a city where half of the citizens are black, AND being located LITERALLY in the back yard of Dr. Martin Luther King’s home church on Dexter Avenue, the SPLC has NEVER hired a person of color to a highly paid position of authority in its entire 42-year history.

Even the Center’s “Teaching Tolerance” program, which purports to promote diversity in the K-12 classroom, has been led by “whites only” for 21 of its 22 years.

Is it just “coincidence” that a civil rights organization with more than 200 employees and nearly a quarter BILLION dollars in cash reserves on hand has NEVER hired a minority to a leadership position after 42 years of operation?

If the SPLC are your “experts” on racial issues you could probably do better.
